“Kings tend to be sovereign rightly or wrongly. Which is why our Protestant founders formed a representative republic.” So why would you follow a book printed by a King, if you believed this to be true? There are other versions, not the KJV that are as good or better.

The other versions do not have a study tool like the Strong's that allows me to verify that what is Written did not get messed with by the busy fingers down through the ages. AS the example of 'easter' instead of Passover. I make no contributions to the 'king', he passes no plate and had no say as to how many hail marys I am required to chant. Sorry if that might offend but that is a tradition of man that simply is NOT required to demonstrate my faith.

“Why I surely imagine a few of them had read the King James Version”

Question, who was the first and second presidents to swear on a King James Bible?

I do not know. I would guess George Washington and Madison, but I really do not know.

as to what it was that God said would bring forth life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It sure does seem that so long as we as a people remembered our beginning we have surely been blessed above all other peoples on this

“The other versions do not have a study tool like the Strong’s that allows me to verify that what is Written did not get messed with by the busy fingers down through the ages.”

This is not so. I can read concurrences with Latin, Greek, and the passages today right at my fingertips. Strong’s is unnecessary when you have access to the originals.

“Sorry if that might offend but that is a tradition of man that simply is NOT required to demonstrate my faith.”

Your usage of Strong’s is a tradition of men. Clearly there’s nothing wrong with tradition when you agree with it. Tradition is only wrong if you disagree.
