So are people today trying to make a buck by saying their Bible (be it the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Ethiopic, or KJV) is the true Bible?

Sure millions of Christians wouldn’t do this, right?

Go back and read #28. It is referring to those who write fake books to make money, not those who print and reprint the real translations of the Greek, Latin, and Coptic texts.

Think of the books of Elizabeth Clare Prophet and her ascended masters nonsense.

As for BIBLES, THIS is what the KJV Translatora to the Readers has to say about many translations...

§ 13 [An answer to the imputations of our adversaries.]

• 1 Now to the latter we answer, that we do not deny, nay, we affirm and avow, that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession,....... containeth the Word of God, nay, is the Word of God.
• 2 As the King’s Speech which he uttered in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch, Italian, and Latin, is still the King’s Speech, though it be not interpreted by every translator with the like grace, nor peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere.
********
• 10 The like we are to think of translations.
• 11 The translation of the Seventy dissenteth from the original in many places, neither doth it come near it for perspicuity, gravity, majesty; yet which of the Apostles did condemn it?
• 12 Condemn it? Nay, they used it, (as it is apparent, and as Saint Hierome and the most learned men to confess) which they would not have done, nor by their example of using it, so grace and commend it to the Church, if it had been unworthy the appellation and name of the Word of God.
