People are curious about producing a second edition of The Bible Book: The KJV Reborn for Those Who Love the Word of God.
1. There were so many lapses in the first edition, such as not dealing with Christ in the Psalms. There is no better way to find mistakes than to put them in print. Then the errors wink, blink, and call from the page to the agonized author - "Sloppy! Editor, edit thyself."
2. Another reason is building the case for the KJV. Apologetics is a name for that role in theology comes from this verse -
15 κυριον δε τον θεον αγιασατε εν ταις καρδιαις υμων ετοιμοι δε αει προς απολογιαν (apology, give an answer) παντι τω αιτουντι υμας λογον περι της εν υμιν ελπιδος μετα πραυτητος και φοβου
KJV But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Peter 3:15.
The NIVians and ESVians are loaded with all kinds of excuses to avoid the KJV, because the denominations have been given monetary incentives for promoting the new Bibles and then for replacing the new Bibles with even newer and worser Bibles. Lutherans should know - the NIV and ESV are Calvinist productions, not at all friendly toward the Means of Grace but hotter than Georgia asphalt for "making disciples."
NIVians and ESVians are packed with contemptuous and snide remarks, "So you are KJV only?" (a strange label) GJ - "No, I am KJV Best, I know your sliced, diced and denatured "scientific" Bibles all too well. They are so bad they have to be revised every few years and made worse than before. I use those Bibles for comparisons on Biblegateway.com - the lair of the NIV factory itself."
"Our Bible was translated by leading denominational figures in scholarship." GJ - No, your Bible text was created and altered by rationalists who cannot agree with each other and constantly make changes from year to year. Your translating was done under the watchful eye of Eugene Nida and his pals, whose 'dynamic equivalence' makes every modern version a farce. The publishers give incentives for your church leaders to promote a modern version and to tie it into the educational books and worship books."
So you like word for word translating in the KJV?
GJ - "Word for word is only used in interlinear Bibles for those who flunked Hebrew and Greek or went to Ft. Wayne and ELCA schools. The KJV is precise translation, the work of a group of unpaid scholars who actually believed the Word of God."

| You do know that the KJV is directly related to Luther's German Bible, right? Yes, the KJV is related through Tyndale, who was murdered for translating the Bible. Tyndale's work became the basis for the KJV. WELS excommunicated pastors who favored the KJV over the sect's precious NIV, because church leaders are not allowed to kill the faithful anymore. |
