What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

Neal of Zebulun said:

So in the following, I'll break each transliteration up by the letters of the Name יהוה.

With Jehovah (Je-ho-v-ah) we would pronounce:

"Jo-shua" as "Jehov-shua"

because the first three letters of Yahweh's Name are on the front.

Whereas with Yahweh (Ya-h-u-eh)

"Jo-shua" as "Yahu-shua."

There are plenty of names that do the same, and I've found that "Yahu" is easier to say than "Jehov."

Another example. This time the three letters are on the end and not the front. I have to change the whole name to make it more accurate:

"Isa-iah" as "Yesha-jehov"

or

"Isa-iah" as "Yesha-yahu."

Now both of them, back to back, which one can you say faster, more readily, smoother, even such that some of the syllables become dipthongs?

Thanks for asking!

Yes. Different cultures say the same names or similar names as being different based on the use of that culture’s use of letters and words.

KJV mixes up hell and hades.

KJV has "sons of Israel" in Deuteronomy 32:8 while it should be "sons of God".

Explain why.

Hieronymus said:

Why they got it wrong?
I don't know.
I think the "sons of Israel" is an error in the Septuagint. The Masoretic text has it right though.
They tried their best though.
It's not a "bad Bible", it just has some errors.

If you don't know why it is an error and or cannot explain it, then how do you know if it really is an error?

Although it is in italics-the KJV has men in one bed.

It also has worship in places, where other versions seem to have it better as to - glory, honor.
You do not take a seat in the back, so that someone can come to you and tell you to move up -and then you can have worship.

I do not see that as an error. It is more like different words are saying a similar thing.

vinsight4u said:

It is not proper for two men to be in one bed. Some versions have people. It is actually as to more like a couch -reclining.
The verse is Luke 17:34.

NIV has- two people in one bed

I see no conflict with this in the KJV saying, "two men in one bed" because they could be brothers living in poor family or household, or they could be in the military. It could also be a situation of limited resources or space due to an outside conflict.

They also could be bunk beds. I remember sleeping in a bunk bed with a room mate. They do this both at schools and in regular apartment living to save money and or space.

How so? Explain it to me.

1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

which is it? plural or singular? because in the hebrew these words are exactly the same and in the same context.

Don't see a contradiction with this one. There are actually three heavens mentioned in Scripture.

1. Heaven (God's throne).
2. Heaven (Space).
3. Heaven (Sky).

Heaven (singular would more than likely be in reference to space because it is distnict from the Earth; And the sky known as "heaven" would be included with the Earth. Note: The mention God's throne (Heaven) is not in view in Genesis 1 (For nothing is mentioned about it at this point in Scripture).

When the Bible says Heavens in the next chapter with it being plural, it is clarifying that God created both the Heaven (space) and Heaven (sky). So there is no contradiction.




The First Heaven:

The first heaven is earth's atmosphere where birds fly (Genesis 1:20, Jeremiah 4:25;34:20,Lamentations 4:19, Zephaniah 1:3). One of the Hebrew words for 'heaven' is shamayim. This same word is translated as 'sky' in the Scripture, as can be seen by comparing Genesis 7:3, "fowls also of the air," with Genesis 7:23, "fowl of the heaven." The word 'sky' and 'heaven' are used interchangeably from the same Hebrew word (Psalm 8:8). So the first heaven is synonymous with 'heights' or 'elevations.'

Here are other examples to illustrate the first heaven. Exodus 19:20 says the Lord was on top of Mount Sinai when he called Moses up there, and God describes Mount Sinai as 'heaven' (Exodus 20:22, Deuteronomy 4:36). Here, everything above the ground is called 'heaven'.

Another example of the first heaven is in Amos 9:1-3, where God states that at the time of this judgment, nobody will be able to flee away (verse 1), even "though they climb up to heaven" (verse 2). This "heaven" is defined in the next verse, verse 3, as climbing to the top of Mount Carmel.

Another example is where the Scripture speaks of the "dew of heaven" (Genesis 27:28,39,Deuteronomy 33:28, Daniel 4:15-33; 5:21). The first heaven, from which dew comes, means the atmosphere, where the clouds and the wind roam. Therefore, everything above the ground is called 'heaven."

Another Hebrew word for the first heaven is 'shachaq.' This same word for heaven (Psalm 89:6,37) is also translated as 'sky' or 'skies' (Deuteronomy 33:26; Job 37:18; Psalm 18:11), and as 'clouds' (Job 35:5; 36:28; Psalm 36:5; 68:34, Pro. 3:20; 8:28).

The Second Heaven:

The second heaven is outer space where the planets and stars exist (Genesis 1:14-17; 15:5;22:17;26:4, Deuteronomy 1:10; 17:3; Psalm 8:3, Jeremiah 8:2; Matthew 24:29). Usually the term "host of heaven" or "firmament of the heaven" is used to describe this second heaven.

The Third Heaven:

The third heaven is literally called "the third heaven" in 2 Corinthians 12:2. This third heaven is what Christ calls his "Father's house" (John 14:2), and both Christ and the Apostle Paul calls it "paradise" (Luke 23:43, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, Revelation 2:7). This is where God and the heavenly sanctuary exist (1 Peter 3:22). This third heaven is also known as the "heaven of heavens" (Deuteronomy 10:14; 1 Kings 8:27, 2 Chronicles 2:6; 6:18, Nehemiah 9:6, Psalms 148:4), "The heavenly Jerusalem" (Galatians 4: 26; Hebrews 12:22; Revelation 3:12), the "kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 25:1, James 2:5), the "eternal kingdom" (2 Peter 1:11), the "eternal inheritance" (1 Peter. 1:4,Hebrews 9:15), and the "better country" (Hebrews 11:14,16). The fact that there are more than one 'heaven' can be shown by Psalm 115:16, "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S." There are obviously two different 'heavens' being addressed in this one verse.

Elijah, Enoch, and Moses
Important Note: Although I quoted part of this article to help explain the three heavens, I do not agree with their interpretation of on Enoch. I believe Enoch was translated or spiritually taken by God and did not see death (as the Scriptures say). So not all the views expressed at this website reflect my views on the Scriptures.

KJV says "mourning." How is that an error?

The KJV says they burned these idols. How is that an error?
