What's funny is ya'll thinking all translations are the word of God even though they contain different words and different truths. I guess God is fluid.

Ain't nothing "funny" about that. It is simply a fact, being in a different language and all.

interesting catholic viewpoint
I didnt know they called it the 'deformation' instead of the 'reformation'. Maccabees and books of Wisdom, Judith, Tobit and Sirach are not in KJV. Catholics have them because they believe in purgatory and it talks about that, even though other scripture apparently contradicts it.
Jewish have their oral tradition too in the Mishnah. Every church has some kind of institutional tradition even if its only written about in their annual report. You dont know until you join about all the rules. Catholics dont believe the Bible is infallible...they believe the Pope is. They only hold to the vulgate, which English readers dont understand, because its in latin.
Again follow the chain of copying....
catholics would dismiss the KJV precisely because it caused a big division in the catholic church in england, basically church of england broke away from RCC and instead of a pope, (who used to be emperor) they had their monarch as their nominal head of the church. It was all with the belief in Divine Right of Kings etc. The pope is anathema to KJV onlyists because the RCC tried to stop this particular english translation.
So I find it interesting that many Americans, who dont recognise any King of their own nation, and kicked the British monarchy out, would love the KJV. I would think they would prefer a corporate version, or the Google version of the Bible...DIY online. Funny that the catholics regard KJV as a 'pick and choose bible' but then they not that interested in anything the Pope doesnt tell them to do.
