The King James was primarily a re-translation of the Bishop’s Bible, with some scrutiny paid to Geneva, Matthews, Coverdale and Tyndale. Some Hebrew and Greek manuscripts were also brought in.

Yep, about 5000 of them compared to the 45 that are used for your bibles...

About 5000, is that right?

How were they evaluated by these non inspired King James bureaucrats? I suppose that you’d be cool with Bill and Hillary Clinton commissioning, buying, paying for, and ratifying the modern WCF.

Call it the new WCF - the Washington Confession of Faith. No? After all they’re good Baptists, or Methodists, or something, I’m sure.
