I take it you didn't actually look at the Greek, and are just relying on the archaic language of the KJV to invent a doctrine.

And whose version of the Greek are you referring to???

The King James translators looked at all the Greek that is available...You got something new???

It doesn't matter. There is no significant textual variance in the verses in question.

KJV English was well suited for how the language was spoken 400 years ago. We do not speak that brand of English for the most part. The authors would be horrified to find out the erroneous interpretations that have suggested in modern days based on faulty understanding of KJV English.

That is why reliable modern translations, Like the New KJV, have modernized (corrected) these types of words and phrases. But apparently you wish to cling to unsupportable theories. Have fun.
