Bible Question: Why did the KJV translaters transliterate "baptizo"? Was it on purpose? Is so, why? |
Bible Answer: In the days of the KJV the Catholic Church practiced sprinkling exclusively. If the translators would have translated it immersion King James would have most likely cut their heads off (Cutting their heads off is a personal opinion). So to keep from getting in trouble with the king and to stay honest with the text they transliterated the word baptizo. |
