If you want to believe something like that, that's fine. I'm no one to tell you that wasn't the language because no one knows. My personal belief is that it was a form of Hebrew, but whatever.
What I'm still trying to get at, and what still needs to be explained to me is if the KJV is "the word of God" the very inspired word as you so claim. Then why has it needed revisions over the years? If it is "the word" it would be perfect from the start, needing no corrections or amendments. The KJV you have on your shelf is not the KJV that was translated back in 1611.
Because God didn't guide their hands with surgical precision when they wrote it.
Spelling errors were made, and God corrected them over time.
Yes ... you're right ... that KJB on my shelf was written, I think, in 1759 or thereabouts.
But It's still the AV1611 King James Bible.
I thought you said you had other things to do?You own a Bible that is 263 years old? And the spelling errors were corrected by God?

I think it is a scam. The Holy Scriptures Bible Society seems to be behind the project, and there is basically no information about them other than the "President" is Joseph Johnson, who also does not have any information about him, who he is, or what his qualifications may be.There is a project happening to modernize the old language of the King James Version without changing the meaning (unlike the NKJV). The project website is as follows. www.kjvupdate.com What do you all think?

It reminds me of the "New Messianic Bible" translation that has been in development for years and years, taking donations and not actually putting out a Bible.

Instead of different ones putting down the choice of another Christian for one's Bible choice (as often happens herein), let us just speak of how we value the one we find most helpful and true to "all the counsel of God", and then there might not be dispute (hopefully). I have defended my choice, and then found opposition to my choice???
I have stated some reasons I do not read some other Bible versions, but I always uphold choices to read anything one choose to read: often saying: 'to each his own choice'. If one is convinced of their choice, let us 'go in peace' and avoid animosity --would you agree?
Well, I do not 'insist' that no other version is valid ---only say that I hold to the Scofield KJV Study Bible,which has proven to me to be very reliable over all others I have reviewed, so quit challenging me over it, brother. Keep looking up!Yes, I agree. The problem is that some people, particularly KJVOs, insist that no other translation is a valid Word of God. They should agree with 'to each his own choice' instead of being so dogmatic.

There are so many bible translations into English already. The KJV is charming because of its antiquated English. An update that removed thee, thou, thine as singular forms replacing them with you may not be an improvement. The NKJV is good if one is looking for a "textus receptus" based Translation. What I'd rather see is an update of the Douay Rheims Bible.There is a project happening to modernize the old language of the King James Version without changing the meaning (unlike the NKJV).

Will it be "Authorized"? If so, by who?
