The authorized by God Bible was completed when John wrote the last words of revelation

all the once since are translations

there is no perfect translation period. Go would not authorized a non perfect Bible, he can use it, he has been for centuries,
Correct

Revisions do not change the words, but update spellings and such. Thanks though...
How convenient, suddenly different versions are permitted!
Are you using the 1611 version? Or do you have one you can read?

To a Few Precious friend(s). Thanks for all your Encouraging Valuable Input!

I can Clearly see the Critics wish us All to be Discouraged And remain
in the Massive Confusion that Abounds, because:

Kindly go and find something to discuss that does NOT seek to divide the body of Christ.
Kinda late, ain't it? IF you look at my signature, Every One of those "studies" is Divisive!
When is someone In The Body Of CHRIST going to start praying, like a Few Precious friends
are doing, calling for UNITY, instead of All The Massive Division of 8 Different kinds of
water baptismS being "claimed" today, Confusing The Different "BaptismS of, in, With, or
BY
The HOLY Spirit {Is HE not "GRIEVED" over all this?}, Confusion of tongues, miracles, etc...

Always go back to the original languages and texts
Where is it, In God's Pure And Preserved Word, To me, in my own language, that tells me
I have to "become a Foreign Language "scholar" in order to understand HIS HOLY Word Of
Truth.
IF so, I would be more than glad to ADD that to my list of Bible Study Rules! Amen?

Much Better, And, Way Simpler just to obey God's "study" Rule (2 Timothy 2:15 KJB!), and
then Rely On The Blessed Teacher
(1 Corinthians 2:13 KJB!), instead of man's wisdom, eh?

God is not limited by translations or versions. How do you think that people got saved prior to the KJV being written??
Let's see, The God, Who is Unchangeable, "Made The Way {Gift of tongues?}." for the
hearers To "hear God's Truth, In their OWN language!" (Acts 2:5-6 KJB!), Correct?
So, begs the question, Where in your historical records, is it recorded that
"Anyone got Saved, Without Hearing In Their OWN Language!"?:

"So then, Faith cometh By hearing, And hearing By The Word Of God!" (Romans 10:17 KJB!)

Be Blessed!

Just a question but why do you switch between bold, italics, color, and capital letters?

It isnt but we are simply saying what makes the KJV the pure Word vs other translations in our own language?

It was ironically the study of past languages that created the KJV or any English version.

Usually for Different Emphases? Probably way too much, huh? ♫ 😇 ↑

Amen! Glad God Gave Biblical scholars the ability to translate HIS Preserved Word Into
English And All other languages as well. Amen?

Is there a Satanic plot, in your belief, to Confuse many with his own corrupt versions?

Satan began corrupting God's words in Eden, and he has never stopped. Thus Paul said "We are not as many which corrupt the Word of God" (2 Cor 2:17). There was a huge movement by the early Gnostics to corrupt the Scriptures. And those manuscripts which are now promoted by the modern critics are primarily in this group -- Aleph, A,B,C, D and a few others.

Then Origen and Clement of Alexandria came along to add to the confusion. But in spite of all that, God preserved His pure word in a huge number of manuscripts, so that by properly collating them, the true Word would stand. And quite of few of those manuscripts have not even been properly examined.

There is a difference between a version and a revision.
The KJV 1611 translation has marginal notes from the New and Old Testaments to the Apocrypha and vice versa.
It also contains 15 more books than the one you are using.

What makes a translation corrupt?
