Some folks say the darndest things don't they.

I read sermons & commentary from the era that used that text with my KJV handy. The era (which even includes the present & foreseeable future) of Pink, Spurgeon, Hervey, Toplady, Gill, Owen,...

You have probably heard the joke about the bigoted Protestant fundamentalist who said, "If the King James Version was good enough for the apostles, it is good enough for me!" People sometimes forget that the KJV was published in 1611 A.D.

Some errors as pointed out by Biblical scholars:



Matthew 5:48 should be "Become ye therefore perfect" rather than "be ye therefore perfect." "Perfect" here means "spiritually mature." Sanctification is a process of overcoming with the aid of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 14:26 has the unfortunate translation of the Greek word miseo, as "hate", when it should be rendered "love less by comparison." We are not to hate our parents and family!

John 1:17 is another instance of a poor preposition. "By" should be "through": "For the law was given by [through] Moses . . . ." Moses did not proclaim his law, but God's Law.

I Corinthians 1:18 should be: "For the preaching of the cross is to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the power of God", rather than "perish" and "are saved." Likewise, II Thessalonians 2:10 should be "are perishing" rather than "perish."

Revelation 14:4 should be "a firstfruits", because the 144,000 are not all the firstfruits.
