aThe KJV changed very little...what changed the world was the invention of the printing press. Before the press was invented, virtually no one could read because there were very few books and those books were in the hands of institutions and the wealthy. The KJV came along about the same time as the press and at the same time that people could afford books and learn to read. The KJV was, of course, in English and while there were many latin versiions of the bible available, they were not in the hands of the people because they were prohibitively expensive...Hand written by monks over the centuries, works of art!!!The press, however, opened up the world of books to the general public......that’s what changed the world, not the KJV
“The KJV was, of course, in English and while there were many latin versiions of the bible available, they were not in the hands of the people because they were prohibitively expensive..”
Actually, that began 100 years before the KJV, when Luther and Tyndale made their translations. However, there was a demand for scripture in the vernacular, which is why Wycliffe’s followers labored so hard to distribute hand written copies. There was a reason the Jews in the days of Jesus knew the scriptures - because it was emphasized. Had the Catholic Church wanted, it could have done so as well. It chose not to do so, because it could not reconcile what was in the scripture with what the church was teaching.
The Word of God spreading around the world changed the world. Things printed...literature, etc...that's nice. But it is the Word of God that changed the world.
Not to interfere but you need to let go of the Catholic thing and put your focus on the Lord.
