How to Improve Our English Translations of Scripture

[Charlie24]

No doctrine or Biblical theme has been changed in the 1769 revision of the 1611 Authorized KJV.

That's why it's still called the 1611 KJV. If a direct change had taken place it would have been named the 1769 KJV.

If you read up on the revision in 1769 there were printing errors in the original 1611 that were corrected.

Updated spelling and punctuation and the italics were the main focus of the revision.

The content is unchanged otherwise, the reason it's still the 1611 Authorized KJV.

And by the very definition of inerrant, the KJV cannot be called inerrant. If there were errors, printing or otherwise, that makes it anything but inerrant.

So the Reformed say.

So the Reformed say.

We have no problem with the revision in 1769, the text is unaltered in meaning and doctrine from the original 1611.

The problem is yours, and I suggest you just leave the 1611 Authorized KJV to us and use your modern versions.

So the Reformed say.

It’s not what the reformed guy says, but the very definition of it.

Free from error
Incapable of being wrong
Infallible
Not liable to error
Not erring; making no mistakes

All of these are various definitions of what inerrant means. Not from some reformed guy, either. But what the definitions mean.

I’m not the one willing to die on a hill for some unprovable thing. So, the problem is yours, not mine.

And with that you have the last word!
