It is God’s word and printed when the Catholics did not want to lose their hold on common people. Why don’t you want it in the hands of people who need to know the plan of salvation and God’s word? I learned a lot doing genealogy and I have traced ancestors to that era. People were killed-burning at the stake-for wanting their own copy of the Bible. The Catholic powers that were did not want individuals to have their own copy. That is what is awful. Everyone should have had it not just the powerful. They knew their teachings were not right but they did not want everyone to know that. You should thank God that every person who wants God’s Word is able to. What are y’all afraid of? Y’all- everyone, not just you.
not quite the way it happened...The Catholic church tried its best to keep perverted versions out of the hands of people....not the true bible. The VAST majority of people in that time could not read and the church required that their members should rely on the church itself to interpret scripture. The KJV, while a fairly accurate translation, left out some very important books and is thus WRONG. When you lead people away from true Christianity to a man made denomination....you have endangered their souls and somehow I don't think that Christ is going to be all that impressed with a condensed version of the church that He established...
“They knew their teachings were not right but they did not want everyone to know that.”
What’s sad is that the apostle Paul, who had real authority from God, complimented people who went to the Scriptures to check HIM out! Quite a difference, eh?
It's not that they hate the King James Bible...They hate having the bible in a language where people can read it...They don't want us reading it...Most Catholics don't even own a bible...That's how insignificant it is to them...
