So what happened? Negative arguments : • The translators of the KJB. • English language has changed. Forget the “Thees” and “Thous” that everyone complains about. • The Preface. • KJB adopt Latin readings not found in the Greek.
Positive comments • King James Bible to be the greatest monument of the English language, perhaps even greater than the works of William Shakespeare. • Is considered as doctrine. • The other Bible’s version has worst mistakes that the KJB. • Problems with the old testament.
CONCLUSION For most of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the King James Version was the single most popular translation of the Bible in the English language. Quite simply, the best Bible for a Christian to use is one that he or she will read and UNDERSTAND.
