Thanks Elsie...you have made my point, better than I could have...what I notice that it is the KJV of the Bible that uses the word 'unicorn'...all the other Bibles use a different word, wild-ox or wild-oxen..

Now, I have had some folks tell me, that the really only acceptable translation of the Bible, is the KJV, and they also have told me, that when the KJV Bible was put together, those men were under the direct divine inspiration, and that every word, every phrase, even every comma, and period, and every point of punctuation was put there under direct divine inspiration...meaning that nothing in the KJV could be mistakenly translated..that every word means exactly what it says...

So, if one adheres to the notion, that the KJV is the only
Bible that is acceptable for study, and if one further goes on to state the the KJV is absolutely correct in every word, phrase and punctuation, and that everything must be read literally as is, then how does on explain the 'unicorns'...

This seems to come down to saying, that 'unicorns' are for real, that they really do/did exist, because after all the KJV of the Bible, could not be mistaken, and the word should stand for what it is...and I have heard people argue for this very fact...I have not heard this on FR, but there are many other websites on the net, and some dedicated to strict adherence to the KJV and to the literal translation of every word, and on one of those sites, there really was a discussion, with people saying that 'unicorns' really did exist because the KJV Bible says so...

Well, then, either the KJV translators were mistaken when using the word unicorn, or unicorns really did exist...I guess it all depends on how one wants to look at this....and how important is it, that one insist on using only the KJV?

Your post shows this, quite well...so thanks...
