I was told to go back to the KJV 'cause that translation HAS THE ANIONTING....none of the others do...

I am in agreement with that.

"The Annointing..." With all due respect, what in the world does that mean? And who did the annointing anyway?

The KJV is a flawed translation, and is written in a language that is 400 years old, halfway to being a dead language (800 years is the approximate period of time for a language to "die").

Because of that, I believe the KJV has been a major source of error, not necessarily in doctrinal teaching, but certainly a grave misunderstanding of the overall message God was seeking to impart to human beings. If you take the time to read a version of the Bible that speaks "your" language, it takes on a tone that is completely different from the KJV.

Reading the Bible in the KJV, compared to any number of other translations, such as the New Living Translation, is like trying to read through a fog.
