Here is a very un pc section of the King James bible: Leviticus 20:13

Wait a minute: This is in Musland? Formerly England? And Muslims and the ruling Sharia courts approve of the Queen doing this?

Even one of my Torot (pl Torah) has an acknowledgement that The King James Version is a translational source.

I have a copy of KJV that I got from the Mormons. I've wondered for a while if the Mormons made any changes to it.

I'd like to use it on a daily basis, but I don't want to if they made any changes. Does anyone know if the Mormons tampered with the KJV?

People today prefer modern versions because they do not understand the language of the 1611 KJV. If you start with Genesis by the time you finish a few chapters it will become clear what is being said.
Tthe language is considered by many to be a religious language and many people who read modern versions will automaticly switch to KJV english to pray.

The 1966 movie THE BIBLE (filmed in Rome) uses KJV english, and if you watch LAWRENCE OF ARABIA the imman talking to the King of Arabia is quoting koranic verses in 16th century English.

Walmart has a reproduction in the OLD ENGLISH lettering for $5.00.

You can see why the Geneva was still in competition for years because of it’s easier to read lettering.

It is interesting that as I understand it, the KJV was translated to English so that for the first time people could hear and read Scripture in their own language. It was right after the Reformation when the Roman Church in England became the Church of England. All worship was thereafter to be in English and not Latin, as when under the Roman church. It was also the time the Book of Common Prayer came into being for use by the English church.

Reads like it was written by Shakespeare—a work of pure stand alone literary art regardless of the subject.

Old English was the language of conversion when true believers broke the Catholic yoke—it still conveys best the original feelings of our Christian ancestors.
