Oh, well... duh. I know that -- I'm not a KJV literalist, but since I was a little boy it has been "The Bible" and I resist these modern-English groovy translations. Thing is, I'll always be dependent on -some- translation or other, since I couldn't read the -real- originals in the original language(s) even if I got my hands on them.

So for me, anyway, the KJV is "The Bible", warts and all. I don't re-define it; I just read it as the closest I've got.

So you want to base your understanding on “warts.”

Got it.
