I just asked the question why the Old and New Testaments in the KING JAMES VERSION were written in different styles of ENGLISH. I also asked if THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE, KING JAMES VERSION, WRITTEN IN ENGLISH AND COMMISIONED BY THE KING OF ENGLAND WHOSE NAME WAS JAMES AND LIVED MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS AFTER JESUS was written IN ENGLISH all at once, both Testaments, that is.
I was not asking about the history of the HEBREW VERSION, WRITTEN THOUSANDS OF YEARS BFORE JESUS versus the GOSPELS WRITTEN IN GREEK OR ARAMEIC OR WHATEVER, WRITTEN AFTER THE DEATH OF JESUS.
Every answerer so far has not even UNDERSTOOD what I was asking, let alone given a coherent answer.
Is the question that hard? I thought I wrote it in ENGLISH. Let's try again.
Why is the Old Testament written in OLDE ENGLISH and the New Testament not written in Olde English? The operative word being ENGLISH.
