The question is very simple. What specifically leads you to believe the King James Version of the Bible, compiled in approximately 1600, is superior, and a more valid representation of Gods word, than later translations? There is no need to answer in riddles. Certainly you have definitive reasons.

Yes, I certainly do have definitive reasons, but now you won’t know what they are. You should check your attitude when you troll, you might make better use of your time. Bye.

You are right, the KJV was produced 1600 yrs after Christ. There ARE older bibles, just not in English.

Newer versions are subtly changed, some removing important concepts, up to, and including the divinity of Christ.

...Or than the Old Testament originally composed in Hebrew?

I would like to butt in here just to say that i believe in the King James because it was authorized by a King and i believe God is in control.

Revelation 1
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

I have also noticed the the KJ is identical with the Catholic Vulgate translated to English in many places even though it is said that the KJ was translated from what original manuscripts they had and was not just a copy of the Vulgate.

I have heard it said that King James did not give a dam what the Bible said as long as we know what it said, and that in itself means a lot to me.
