I have a dictionary, thanks. You did not answer my question. Is there a correlation between KJVO and belief in a flat Earth? Do you believe in a flat Earth?

No. You don't seem to understand correlation.

Ok. Now that we have the dictionary definition of correlation out of the way, explain it to me.

English is not quite the worlds universal language. Many unreached and reached peoples do not speak, read, or write English, hence the thousands of language translations of the bible.

It is fine if they want to use a translation, but that isn't the word. It's just a translation of it.

I don't think I could explain it possibly any more.

So, then, is there a correlation between KJVO and belief in a flat Earth? Tis not a hard question, bro.

So only English speaking Christians have the word and the others are just out of luck? Did any Christians have the word between Jesus and 1611?

Of course they did. They had it in Greek and Latin when they were the universal languages.

The answer for the third time is no.

Great thanks. So do you think that those folks that believe in a flat Earth and defend this belief with "the-KJV says-it-is" are just a few misguided diehard KJVOs?

Of course they did. They had it in Greek and Latin when they were the universal languages.

Lets not forget French, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and several other languages after Greek and Latin fell as the popular languages of the Mediterranean world.

They were not universal languages.

I prefer to respect my brothers in Christ, not make fun of them or call anyone misguided.

If their belief in a flat Earth is mistakenly supported by their devotion to the KJV, then I would definitely call them misguided.
