So before the KJV, did everyone go to hell because they did not have an "ANOITED" version of the bible?

Does it mean that God is English? If so, why do they have such bad teeth?

If we are looking for the most accurate version, shouldn't we all be learning Greek and Hebrew?

If the KJV was written in Old English, what was it translated from? Latin? Don't we have to translate it in our minds to modern English? So is it a translation of a translation of a translation?

Because it's been around a long time does that make it right? So wouldn't the Greek and Hebrew texts be MORE right?

So if I know Greek and Hebrew and read the oldest scriptures, does that mean I am MORE saved than you? Or am I MORE right than you? Is my God bigger than yours?

There are older translations of the bible in other languages, i.e. Latin. Should we all learn Latin? Is that bible better than the KJV?

In my humble opinion, picking out a version of the bible over the course of the last 2000 years and saying that version is the best version is the height of arrogance and borders on idolatry.

God has COMMANDED Christians to study these issues to show they are workmen approved unto God. Debating these issues allows those who are sincerely searching to arrive closer to the truth.
