Whio made up this rule.

It's not a rule. It's a fact that no one speaks 17th century English. Language is a communication tool. If we are going to communicate—especially siritual issues—it make sense to do so in the contemporary spoken language.

Othwewise it might as well be be in Klingon.

A 17th century Bible is still used to communicate spiritual truths in literally thousands and thousands of churches, Christian schools and Christian homes. It still communicates very effectively in our home, our church and our Bible institutes in three countries. It is producing solid marriages and training preachers of the Gospel. We see it work. We'll stick with it.
