Bible Note: No major revisions of KJV Tom: You write: 'Most of those who stand by KJV, rather than “modern revisions” don’t realize that 1611’s underwent major revisions in 1629 and in 1638. In 1762, Thomas Paris corrected many errors, and in 1769, Benjamin Blayney revised it again." Tom, I appreciate your participation in the forum. I have nothing against you. Please know that this post is not meant in any way to criticize you personally. Nor is it an attack upon you or what you posted. However, it is not true that the King James version underwent four (or any) major revisions. My intent here is merely to set the record straight. I want all to know that I am definitely not a KJV-Only advocate. No way. Grace and peace, Radioman2 - - - - - - - - - - "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). Read the entire article at (http://staggs.pair.com/kjbp/) |
