It seems clear to me that you have never been an ESL teacher nor student.

Great percentages of ESL students would be innoculated

AGAINST

reading Scripture ever again with just one effort at trying to get them to read the KJV. Absolute nonsense.

I'm not about to risk turning folks

OFF

to God and His Word by using the KJV in such a context.

I have taught foreigners from the King James with no problem at all.

If children can learn the King James, what makes you think foreign students can't?

I am not going to give anyone a corrupt bible, no matter what excuses you conjure up.

The King James Bible has been read by non-English speaking peoples for centuries.
