In the mean time scholars with a passion for the Bible have found many more old manuscripts than the KJV editors could ever imagine.
There is simply more knowledge, source material and people involved with reconstructing 'the original Bible' (if there was ever such a thing) than in the days of King James.
I said nothing about Paul.
The St. Louis set sail from Hamburg to Cuba on May 13, 1939. The vessel under command of Captain Gustav Schröder was carrying 937 passengers, most of them Jewish refugees[2][3] seeking asylum from Nazi persecution. Captain Schröder was a non-Jewish German[4] who went to great lengths to ensure dignified treatment for his passengers.
The journey to Cuba was a joyous affair. The passengers aboard the St. Louis had suffered ill-treatment in Germany, but on board, they were treated very well, at the insistence of Captain Schröder.[5] Food served included items subject to rationing in Germany, and childcare was available while parents dined. Dances and concerts were put on, and on Friday evenings, religious services were held in the dining room. A bust of Hitler was covered by a tablecloth. Swimming lessons took place in the on-deck pool. Lothar Molton, a boy traveling with his parents, said that the passengers thought of it as "a vacation cruise to freedom".[6]
I run into this when speaking with Jehovah Witness and then there is the Pentecostal " Jesus Name Only " group. Also , the hebrew roots group is big on speaking everything in hebrew . But I wonder do we even understand what the word "name" meant . It seems to me that someone's name was synonymous with their authority , their words and their power . I think about when Moses asked , Who shall I tell them sent me ? And our Father said tell them YHWH ( which I take it to mean , I AM ) That was a descriptive name ...Our God is I AM ..He Is ..He is everything .So in the following, I'll break each transliteration up by the letters of the Name יהוה.
With Jehovah (Je-ho-v-ah) we would pronounce:
"Jo-shua" as "Jehov-shua"
because the first three letters of Yahweh's Name are on the front.
Whereas with Yahweh (Ya-h-u-eh)
"Jo-shua" as "Yahu-shua."
There are plenty of names that do the same, and I've found that "Yahu" is easier to say than "Jehov."
Another example. This time the three letters are on the end and not the front. I have to change the whole name to make it more accurate:
"Isa-iah" as "Yesha-jehov"
or
"Isa-iah" as "Yesha-yahu."
Now both of them, back to back, which one can you say faster, more readily, smoother, even such that some of the syllables become dipthongs?
Thanks for asking!
So we have great amounts of evidence that the Greek texts behind the KJV are corrupt and contain material that is not original. Why should I believe, against this evidence, that the Greek texts that the KJV uses are correct when I have so much evidence to the contrary?
What errors do you think exist within the KJV?
Please see my other CF thread here on answers to various supposed contradictions in the KJV.
I have a few more answers to supposed contradictions for the KJV I would like to add later.
I don’t think that there is any other Version of The Bible that truly reflects the deep Spiritual mysteries that can only be discerned by a direct Teaching from The Holy Spirit. The KJV reveals in Words these mysteries better than any other version that I’ve read to date. In the day of the great Visitation when the world at large will know the truth of Christ, with exceptions such as Numbers 16:29, then those who are chosen will understand the difference.
Anyways, may God bless you;
And may you please be well.
True... you didn't.....
but I did because I felt that some of the writings of Paul......
are incredibly difficult for us to understand at this time when anti-Semitism is still
fairly prevalent within much of Christianity.
Did you know that the over nine hundred Jewish refugees on the M. S. Louis were turned away from Cuba, then away from Florida...... and then away from Nova Scotia, Canada?
Why?
Because anti-Semitism still existed in Canada in 1939.

Regarding errors in the KJV . One very enlightening error to me was in Acts 7:45 . The scribes in King James day translated Yashua ( Joshua ) into Jesus but Jesus in the flesh obviously did not show up until much later. That error however was prophetic or a foreshadowing in a way because it made me realize that Moses could not bring the children into the promised land any more than the law can bring us into the " promise land " ...That was given to Y'shua or Jesus or God is Salvation ( the meaning of His name ) . John 1:17 For the law came by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
I can not imagine that God, our Father is not able to understand many languages apart from Hebrew . Jesus said many shall begin to come to me " Did we not do such and such in your name ? and he will say depart from me , you that work iniquity , I never knew you .
I believe there are gnats and camels ...depart from me ..you did not pronounce my name right / Really ???
But people do.
But people do.God doesn’t make mistakes.
Yes, and that was long before the KJV was made.He revealed things as they needed to be.
You're totally ignoring what i said.His Word perfectly exists for our world language today.
Correct. But translating them and having limited sources means it can go wrong sometimes.God’s Word does not exist solely alone in some dead languages.
In Job 3:8 the KJV has mourning when it should have - leviathan. It is not the stirred up part that is in error, but what is aroused. The other five times, the word is given in the verses as -leviathan. It means sea monster. Job was referring to some group of people that knew how to curse days or such. Things are sometimes odd in the Bible, but they should be written correctly. Just like Jeremiah told how he wished his mother had always been great with him.
=========
Jeremiah 20:17
“Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.”
But people do.Yes, and that was long before the KJV was made.You're totally ignoring what i said.Correct. But translating them and having limited sources means it can go wrong sometimes.
Speaking of dead languages, what do you think you're doing when you hold on to an old translation and ignore the living who diligently study God's Word?
Let me ask you what this is actually about:
Why do you need the KJV to be perfect?
I am not against Jewish people in any way. They will repent of their sins as a nation and accept Jesus as their Messiah shortly before Christ's Second Coming. So God has not cast away His people (Romans 11:1). Are you an Ebionite (i.e. a Christian who rejects the written works of Paul)?
So is Zionism.True... you didn't.....
but I did because I felt that some of the writings of Paul......
are incredibly difficult for us to understand at this time when anti-Semitism is still
fairly prevalent within much of Christianity.
Thank you, and may God bless you too.May God bless you.
Good question......
no I believe that the writings of Paul are inspired.... and they are scripture.....
but they are easy to misunderstand.....
and the key to understanding Paul is to not use his writings to attempt to negate
anything that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus stated in the Sermon on the Mount.
As an example.....
a then fifteen year old Israeli named Natan has a brush with death
back in 2015......
Natan, during his NDE was shown that even wearing tzitzit.....
borders or tassels on his garments was important.........
I am not saying that I, a Gentile Christian need to wear them but.....
if some form of tzitzit become available for a Messianic Gentile like myself..... I may wear them.....
because I suspect that the woman who was healed when she touched the hem of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus's garments... may have grabbed hold of the tzitzit that he was wearing.......
Oh dear brother ..please forgive me . I did not mean it to you personally although your post did lean itself to things I have wondered about . I did not mean to offend you in any way as you are my brother . I was hopefully sharing some questions relating to errors in the KJV ..for example , what " name " meant to the early Hebrews . Just as " The Word " became flesh ...and the word " word" or logos can be defined as " reason " . In the beginning was the Reason , etc. To me anyway , it puts God , our Father at the center of all things . I believe that God our Father demonstrated Himself to us via His Son . There is no other name "given" through whom men must be saved .. so in obedience to The GIVER for HIS gift , we honor the Father by honoring the Son . Now we know that just as Joseph WAS GIVEN the same authority as Pharoh , Jesus has the authority of the Father for He did nothing of His own accord . " All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me . "What are you talking about in relation to what you quoted? There's a question in the quote, did you want to answer it? If you just wanted to share your opinion on why His Name is not important, why are you talking to me? You know I'm going to tell you why you're wrong.
What Name did Christ say He came in?

Hi brother ... I was wondering if the wearing of tzitzit's , etc. were a foreshadow of the new covenant when God's law and love were to become written on our hearts through faith and demonstrated through our hands in acts of love ( charity ) and mercy . I am quite sure Paul was wearing tzitzit's when he held the cloaks of those who stoned Stephen. Plus I am concerned that many of the old Covenant are concerning themselves with the Old Jerusalem verses the New Jerusalem . The old Jerusalem is acquired by bloodshed ..the new Jerusalem is acquired by shed blood. This was I think Paul's concern to the Galatians with the outward observances. Many look for God's blessings but how many look to bless God ? Bless you brother .Good question......
