'To each his own', as the saying goes! Many of us want the pure mind of God as given, and not modern ideas and modern reasoning of men today, so will hold to the venerable KJV. Go in peace!
The pure mind of God is the source of the King James translation? I give up!!
It's a translation based on the source documents available over 400 years ago, created by men acting on the order of a king who wanted a Bible that reinforced his idea of Christianity.
Today we have far better translations, based on much better sources and much better scholarship.
Give up the idea that God spoke/wrote in pompous Olde Englyshe and you'll be closer to understanding His truths. Remember, Jesus, being fully God, came as a poor carpenter, not as secular royalty.
The Olde Englyshe may seem to you to be God's language, or "the mind of God", or whatever other unfounded myth you believe, but it's not.
