>> English was good enough for the Bible to be written in <<

Yep. Amen to that!

Moreover, it’s really great that the scribes, disciples, apostles and prophets of old decided to write the Bible in the “Shakespearian” or “King James” variety of English, because we’d find it much more difficult to understand if they had written it in Chaucerian English.

(And I guess it’s even better for us that they didn’t decide to write it in Greek or Hebrew!)

Well of course they wroote in English since they were English themselves with names like John, Mark, Luke and Matthew...
