And you obviously know that because you are a much better Hebrew and Greek Scholar than the team of scholars who translated the KJV, right?

I'm by no means a Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic scholar. I do have several reference materials for those languages, however.

The interlinear, for instance shows several discrepancies between the Stephen's text with it's translation and the KJV. Also having studied in Germany with Christians that do not use the KJV but the German translation of the same texts, it amuses them of the use of holy ghost instead of holy spirit. They just shake their heads at it due to the INCONSISTENT translation in the KJV.

Additionally, the KJV has punctuation which in many cases is totally subjective and even simply incorrect at times. Man's private interpretation since the ancient texts did not include punctuation. Or capitals.

It's nice to know that a guy like you armed with an interlinear bible with absolutely no training in Greek or Hebrew and a copy of Strongs is more qualified to interpret the scriptures than all the Hebrew and Greek scholars in the Catholic and Protestant churches who have lived over the past 2000 years.

You should teach a class or maybe start your own Religion. But I have a feeling that your religion was started about 150 years ago by one Charles Russell.
