Of course the KJV or KVB is an English translation based upon the Hebrew and Greek "traditional" texts. But the objective of the translators was to supersede all other earlier English translations, and they did achieve this objective.
It is also no accident that English became the "lingua franca" or common language of the world for at least the last 200 years. As a matter of fact the English language was molded by the King James Bible, and scholars recognize this Bible as an English "classic". So just as Greek was the lingua franca of the Roman empire, English is now the universal language of the world. And the King James Bible -- after over 400 years -- is still the most faithful and trustworthy English translation.

No. I'm not called to do that. I do occasionally write out books of the Bible as rhyming poetry (for two of my published books, I did Psalms and Ruth) but I stay as close to the KJV as possible and make it clear that my work is not a replacement for Scripture.
I'm not a brilliant scholar. I'm just a truth seeker who has looked into things in more detail than most others, apparently. Oh, and YES, there is an agenda to deceive the church and send us all to Hell. The Bible actually talks about it a good bit. Here are some Bible related FACTS for your consideration.
- Every time that Satan interacts with humans, he uses God's Word and twists it.
- There are over 900 English language Bible versions and they greatly contradict each other.
- Westcott and Hort, the Anglican priests who came up with the critical method used in virtually all modern Bibles, were unbelievers who intended to change how "Christianity was done." This is apparent from their own books and letters.
- Because the Bible is the number one bestselling book of all time, those who serve mammon rather than God see it as a business opportunity.
- A lot of wicked people have used Bible translations to push their own agendas. The NIV's Dr. Virginia Mollencott, for example, is a lesbian and this is a big part of why that version is so soft on homosexuality.
But hey, don't mind the facts friend. Also, I have a great piece of real estate in Heaven I can sell you for cheap, hit me up if you're interested, lol

fredofheaven said "Do you not realize the the Hebrew or Greek is more antiquated and considered to be of the dead language? i believe those language were once chose by God to have its use being the common language of their time."
The implication is God uses the common language of the time to spread His word. But this whole theory is shot full of holes. If it's true, the KJV is based on dead languages because it comes from Greek and Hebrew. Secondly, KJV English isn't the common language of the time. It stopped being the common language of the time a long time ago.

Actually neither Hebrew nor Greek are "dead" languages. They are very much alive and very much in use. So the KJV is NOT based on dead languages. And whether you like it or not, English is indeed the common language of the world today.
"There are more than 1 billion people who speak English, making it the most widely spoken language. There are 5 billion speakers in the world. Recent years have seen English take a dominant position on the internet and in international communication, particularly when it comes to digital communication."

I think concerning the languages God chose, foresight is a bigger factor than the commonality. Greek allowed the Scriptures to propagate easily amongst the Gentiles. English has done the same in the modern world. I would say if anything God uses the language of the future to propagate His Word.
I don't know what the next world language will be. Maybe it will always be English.
But if we are being technically correct, the KJV is written in Elizabethan English, also called EARLY MODERN ENGLISH. Still perfectly viable. My mother taught me from the KJV, and it will be the primary version used in my home with my children should I ever have any.

No, because the evidence backs up these things. The evidence of historical hindsight. The FACT that the KJV is Early Modern English and the most influential work written in the English language even today.
And the personal experience that learning from the KJV at a very young age prepared me exceptionally well for success in school. I was a Distinguished Scholar in my home state and had a better than 100% average in English for my four years of high school. Not a brag, my mom and the Heavenly Father get credit for those things.
