Why I Read the Authorized KJV Bible

[sincereheart]

sheesh read the very first line  SH  my heart is broken I shall never recover from such neglect

There, there Reba..... It wasn't that I didn't read what you wrote. It was that I didn't explain what I meant!  

The missionary who's MAIN language is Spanish has a Spanish Bible - (and I thunk it was KJV?).

But for us English speakers, he was speaking in English, so he was reading from the NIV.... He had a hard enough time with English; the King James Version of it was way too much for him!

I had just never thought about that aspect of it....

Now have I confused you more?  

[Reba]

OK    thank you SH I can recover now  


The KJV, which i love, tells us Job had steel..... yet we know steel did not develop until about 1000 AD  seems to me to be a mistake of translation  what do you all think?


Job 20:24

24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
