[MarkBsnr]

English has become the most common language of the world...The only English bible that can be traced back to the time of the Apostles in the area where Jesus taught and folks were first called Christians is the King James Bible...It has been the standard for 400 years...ALL other English speaking bibles since the KJV come from Africa

Another failure.

The Venerable Bede is not African...

[count-your-change]

The AV was a notable and useful translation but even it's translators recognized it had shortcomings that they or future scholars should correct as the noes from the translators say.

That said the idea that this translation “can be be traced back....” etc., etc., is ludicrous. And as for added words, few translations have as many spurious texts included as the AV.

I know many of the KJV only people think it fell from heaven and that Jesus spoke a quaint form of English but surely something has been learned from the many hundreds of manuscripts found since 1611!
