Consider Exodus 20:13...

King James (KJV) reads “Kill”.
The “New King James” (NKJV) reads “Murder”.

That’s just one passage for an example and it presents two *VERY* different meanings. Meanings that can make a world of difference to me!

But don’t take my word for it, you can check all the different versions on biblegateway.com to see where “Man” has meddled with the bible.

So? The ancient manuscripts haven’t changed.

The flaws, and the archaic words forms, and the changes in four hundred years in the meanings of “English” words, in the King James don’t make the argument.

Unlike the King James translators, scholars today have access to virtually ALL of the ancient copies of the Bible.

And the differences in those copies are extremely marginal.
