    Some use "Salty" language, Rippon, and we overlook those people

    (Of course, I'm 6'6" so tend to overlook almost everyone)

    You're 6'6"! Didn't you shrink over time? Were you formerly 6'8"?

    The CSB and the NIV use the word "excrement."

    Actually 6'6" in high school basketball team and SURE I've shrunk some in the millennia since.

    Note pix from Sunday (posted above). My wife is about 5'5" and I'm still twice the man she'll ever be.

    Probably what happened was this: Changes in English placed a vulgar connotation on the word "piss". If you read the KJV while rejecting that connotation, knowing you are reading a book translated in the 1600s, wherein that connotation did not exist, knowing also that the KJV is the most accurate translation, then you should have no problem with the presence of the word "piss" in the text.

    Excellent point!
    However one could in their mind substitute "take a leak".

    It is not known to be a fact "that the KJV is the most accurate translation". That may be your opinion and the opinion of many others, but opinions do not establish a statement to be a fact.

    The "most accurate translation"
    What criteria is being used?
    Based on different criteria - there probably are different answers.

    Because I believe it to be more accurate and faithful, in the English of its day, to God's preserved words in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic....
    Than any other translation to date.

    I prefer it because of its reliance on the collated Greek "Textus Receptus" ( "Received Text" ), and the Masoretic Hebrew texts.commonly referred to as the "Ben Hayyim" or "Ben Chayyim". I view most modern translations, in any language, as corruptions of God's precious preserved words due to their usage of the "Critical" or "Eclectic" Text in the Greek, and other Hebrew texts different than what I've mentioned above.

    To me, if a translation of the Bible uses any other set of Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts than what I've described,
    I cannot, in all good conscience, consider it to be "God's Word".
