I prefer KJV as well

I remember when the Living Bible came out in late 60s or 1970...easier to read but less character and texture...I think the Revised Standard was already around but we never used it...the Living Bible did make headway

very few churches use KJV anymore except for special verses and usually with Strongs along too if the words have more special than usual signficance...at least in my Southern Baptist church

Willaim Tyndale must feel vindicated after such a brutal execution

"Willaim Tyndale must feel vindicated after such a brutal execution."

Tyndale was executed for political, not theological reasons. He was a proponent of Unconditional election, with himself among the elect, and had challenged the Divine right of rule by the established powers of Europe, his own King Henry VIII chief among them. Tyndale's last words were directed to Henry VIII, not the Pope or the Catholic Church.

That said, Tyndale's Bible was full of other errors and heresies too. Simply ask yourself this question; if it were a valid, inerrant production of Scripture why are there no Protestant Churches using it today?

At the link there are some interesting comparisons from other Bibles with the KJV:
