it's not more accurate. it is just that maybe we educate people on what the words mean instead of just "oh, you guys are all so stupid you will never understand the classical definition of this word" We have dumbed down the english language so much we can no longer read anything written more than 25 years old. ask a teenager to read or understand his vocab words... they dont have a clue and that's the fault of parent and teachers. we should keep the classical meanings and educate! and if they dont understand GET A DICTIONARY!!
Why should someone need to carry around a dictionary to understand the Bible? Especially new Christians?
Here's what I mean by archaic and clumsy language in the KJV:
---------
Heb 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
----------
John 4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
---------
Luke 14:10: But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
-------------
2 Corinthians 6:11-13
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
This sort of verbiage is a distraction and makes reading and understanding the Bible difficult. Of course, the KJV was written in the common man's language of the 16th century. Newsflash: We are now in the 21st century. Why not use Bibles written in the common language of our century?
