Are you saying Hebrew is God's language?

Uh, where did you get that from? Did I say that? Do you speak Hebrew or read a Hebrew Bible?

God's language is way above anything we could understand, so He spoke to people in their language and had them write down what He said. And He had them translate it after Jesus died, not "make different versions" of what He said. Nor did He ever say He would do such a thing with any peoples. You ever hear of a "New Internation Version" which Moses used? David ? Solomon? Jesus?

No, I said that in ENGLISH the AV is the Bible God used to preserve His Word and words. And only that one translation in ENGLISH, no other English version is a translation. Period. There is preservation of words versus versions of ideas (not preservation) called interpretation. In Hebrew it is the Masoretic Text (not even fully preserved-no originals exist), in Greek the Textus Receptus (not even fully preserved-no originals exist). In English, the Authorized Version, perfectly preserved. In Spanish, the Reina-Valera, perfectly, etc...

And you and I speak English, not Hebrew.

His,
Bob Z.
