KJV haters

You can check out the scans of the 1611 at this site, and get a text based side by side comparison of the 1611 KJV and the modern KJV.
THE FIRST EPISTLE GENERALL OF IOHN. Â[bless and do not curse](ORIGINAL 1611 KJV)

Why does the link say ‘[bless and do not curse]’?

While most of the changes between KJV versions

Why does the link say ‘[bless and do not curse]’?

I think the forum interpreted the characters in the title and read it as a curse word, as that is how the forum usually handles curse words. I edited it to remove the issue.

I think it mishandled the title and read it as a curseword.

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering… What kind of weird mishandling happened there?

As to the topic, I do not hate the KJV. I think it is a good translation. I prefer using the NKJV for the most part. The NKJV retains the Textus Receptus as its manuscript source, but also notes where the critical or majority texts have a different reading. Therefore you can know what the three camps think about the text, but still have the TR reading in the actual print of the Bible.

Then if I want I can go read the various texts and see why they made the decisions they did. I find this helpful so that when we are reading in Bible study and someone uses a modern version I can quickly see that there is a difference in the texts and look up why that might be.

According to ‘KJV-onlyists’, that makes you a KJV hater.
