Ahem ... God used you guys to give us that Translation, don't forget.It is weird to see an American be so fixated on a very specific English translation of the Bible.
Only a scientist or college student would expect to be presented that kind of evidence.
They can't find evidence of two million Israelites having lived in the Sinai Pennisula

Did it ever occur to you inscriptions can be found on other more permanent materials.You know as well as I do that any pre-tower autographs would have crumbled to dust.
The only thing written in Jacobean English in the handwriting of the human authors now comprise Genesis 1 - 10.
Anything after Genesis 10 would not have been written in Jacobean English.
To expect a Jacobean writing to have been dug up somewhere is just ludicrous.
No, it's still weird because I've often found that American Christians (not all but enough) have a very... I'm not actually going to complete that because it will really derail the thread and might also get mods involved because it steps into... fairly murky waters.
Go ahead and say it. We can take it.
As I understand it, their template was the Masoretic Text, but only to a point.If Jacobean English was the hallmark of perfection in Bible language why does the only KNOWN Jacobean English version of the Bible utilize SO HEAVILY non-English source material?
No, I'm going to bow out on that particular topic. It's... it's a dangerous one, I think.

If God wanted a word updated, they changed it.
That's how we got our word "Easter".
Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
You don't think they should have started from scratch, do you?
Are you familiar with this verse?But one other danger is that over the course of hundreds of years as language changes suddenly the holy book no longer "speaks" to modern readers or it is very difficult for them to read.
This falsifiability stuff is a human construct that works well with science.Or a rational person who is looking for something that is hand-crafted to be PERFECTLY UNFALSIFIABLE.
Been spending too much time at FSTDT, have you?No, it's still weird because I've often found that American Christians (not all but enough) have a very...

Again, it was England that gave us that Bible (God actually, but He used England for His office).
So what are you harping about?
If they aren't Jacobean English, they came after, not before, the Tower of Babel.Did it ever occur to you inscriptions can be found on other more permanent materials.
Two tables of stone, front and back, in God's own handwriting -- twice.sjastro said:Here is a hint for you what where the Ten Commandments written on?
And how did that come about, when Egypt came from Noah's grandson, Mizraim?sjastro said:The Diary of Merer was written on papyrus dating back to 2600 BC.
Codex Vaticanus = hidden away in the Vatican.In all reality, the translation of the Bible into vernacular tongues is an amazing story. The politics behind hiding it behind Latin in the European Church, the controversies around the various older translations, etc. The book about the writing of the KJV is really good: "God's Secretaries" by Adam Nicolson is a great read. Highly recommend it.

Fine -- I can live with that.But your desire to have Adam and all the world up the time of the Tower of Babel speaking Jacobean English is very, very, very, VERY weird.
Then get a Biblical education, instead of railing against those who have one.None of your responses make any sense.
One doesn't need to know the ins and outs of evolution, if one believes evolution's antithesis.I've always wondered why some people are so determined to sweep Evolution under the rug.
Those people typically don't understand what evolution is, and have a high level of personal incredulity.
