Oh, and by the way, doesn't it strike you as profoundly illogical that the King James version fanatics deny the biblical texts in the very languages that would have been known to and studied by Jesus Christ?
It is also beautifully written in my opinion – very poetic and easy to memorize passages – but it tends to lose something now and then.
I find this whole issue exasperating-- in my day, young people studied the English language in school so that they would become literate adults and not have these silly sorts of arguments. ;)
Just as many today are confused by the language of our Constitution. It was beautifully written and simple enough that every American could understand it, be they farm hand or lawyer. Just as some will twist the Holy Bible to justify their own view, some will twist our Constitution for the same reason.
