Bible Question: How many revisions have there been from 1611 when the King James Bible first came out, until our present New King James bIble came out? |
Bible Answer: None. The KJV has undergone no MAJOR 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. ... 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).

I am in total agreement with the facts Searcher has given us. Thank you, Searcher, for daring to be different on the forum in that you have given us facts, not opinion or wild speculation. Good work, sir. |
