an actual 1769 Oxford error

[Dr. Bob]

ACE schools. Spelling is the weeeekest point. But kids learn to read the KJV English in Kindergarten.

Can't blame my hands on MOST of my spelling errors. I just type slower than my brain thinks.

Or often WITHOUT the brain functioning at all .. .:type:

Two words. Spell Check.

[ctrl-a]-selects all
[ctrl-x]-cuts text and places it in your Windows clipboard
Open Word for Windows
[ctrl-v]-pastes text into Word for Windows
Do a Spell Check
[ctrl-a]-selects all
[ctrl-x]-cuts text and places it in your Windows clipboard
[alt-tab]-switches back to BB
[ctrl-v]-pastes spell checked text into post.

Even senile old guys like us can do it!

So which KJB can I trust? I mean If there are errors in them? Can I trust Any English Bible? If there are any errors in them. I will try and learn German or Polish. Maybe I will Study the Jerome Bible whats wrong with that one? I dont Know Latin. I have become full of error! Thank God he wrote the words on my heart!:Fish:

Any one that says "Holy Bible King James Version" on the cover.

Why not? Hebrew is vastly different from Koine Greek; both are vastly different from English. Not only do I TRUST GOD to have conveyed His word in Elizabethan English to the people of 400 years ago ; I trust Him to have conveyed it to us in OUR language.

Go for it.

Thank God he wrote the words on my heart!:Fish:

In what language? Most likely the one you use every day.

The sad thing is this...

All who are looking for errors in the KJV (no matter what year) are going to find them. Because they want to find them. They want to discredit the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the written Word of God.

But SFiC, by saying this you condemn the very men who translated the AV.
They diligently searched the 1611 KJV First Edition upon publication looking for errors. Guess what? They found them just as you say.

However they did it to make it even more perfect than before.

That tradition was carried on for several centuries by those CoE men who wanted the KJV to be the very best English translation available.
In this they did the honorable thing.

What you view as a flaw (a "discredit") is one of the KJV strengths, it's history of corrections.

The corrections or revisions in the text of the KJV continued until at least after 1880 in the Oxford editions of the KJV and until at least the early 1900's [1931] in the Cambridge editions of the KJV.
