Subject: Original language of King James bible? |
Bible Note: "I don't know anyone who really reads from the 1611 KJV ... it has been modernized." No, the 1611 King James Version of the Bible has not been modernized. Wrong again. "QUESTION: Haven't there been several revisions of the King James Bible since 1611? "ANSWER: No. There have been several editions but no revisions. "The King James Bible of 1611 has not undergone four (or any) major revisions. "Just as the first two so-called revisions were actually two stages of one process--the purification of early printing errors--so the last two [1762 and 1769] so-called revisions were two stages in another process--the standardization of the spelling. . .The thousands of alleged changes are spelling changes made to match the established correct forms. These spelling changes will be discussed later. Suffice it to say at this time that the tale of four major revisions is truly a fraud and a myth." (From The King James Bible Page).
