Bible Question:
i have recently been talking to a friend that is apparently part of the KJV only movement. naturally, he came across as arrogant to me, but his response was that he was confident. the challenge was good, of course, as it has encouraged me to delve deeper into to roots of the Word. he argues that the KJV does NOT come from the greek--- he says that there were 5000 some copies of the greek and that the KJV came from some latin text that i can neither spell nor remember. any thoughts are appreciated. TIA |
Bible Answer: TIA .. You are probably referring to the Septugent or the Vulgate. There are many arguemennts about using different versions of the Bible, but the answer lies in reading a version that is written in the language you speak. (simple huh) The KJV has brought many people into the knowledge of our Father, God almighty. But, most of us do NOT speak Old English, so a more modern version is more likely to be understood. I really enjoy the NIV. thanks JKW |
