The "King James" bible is so called because it was edited under the rule of King James, right?

Question

So did King James get all the plagues described in the bible, which anyone overseeing any changes in the bible is promised per Rev.22:18?

Answer 1

King James ordered a translation of Scripture into the English of his kingdom. Biblical scholars did the actual translating and he approved its final form.

Since the scholars used Martin Luther's list of Biblical books and translated from the Greek and Latin through the German, it's Luther who did the changing. James' scholars were punctilious in their work and didn't change a thing. They just picked the wrong Bible to start with.

And your cited passage refers ONLY to the Book of Revelations, NOT the entire Bible. Luther made no changes to this Book (or indeed to any of the New Testament writings, although he would dearly have loved to have trashed the Epistle of James to the Hebrews), and neither does the King James Version.

Answer 2

Those who say it is translated, not edited, have not read the Greek. There are lots of places where the KJV deviates fro the original. For example, in the original Greek the people who are referred to as the brothers of Jesus are actually close relatives (which could be cousins).

There is a more serious concern to those who take this passage seriously. The Protestant Bible is changed from the Original Bible because Martin Luther decided that several passages did not belong.

When the books of the Bible were put together by St irenius and later varified by the Catholic Council of Rome they included several books that are not part of the KJV or the Protestant Bible.

Of course, the other possibility is that St John was only referring to changing the text of the letter he was writing to the Churches of Asia (which became Revelations) -- since the Bible didn't exist at the time.

Answer 4

No, no. King James authorized an English version to be translated. Up to that point most all Bibles were in Latin. There were a few (very few) English version available to the very rich (and brave). The church (RC) attempted to execute anyone who would dare to translate the Bible into English-so they were scarce. King James, who was NOT subject to the pope, ordered a translation. The translators had the protection of all of armies of England . So-they could do a thorough job. And they did.
The clause you refer to in Rev 22, is for those who would change what the bible says-not translate it.

Answer 5

Yes along with members of the church . they left out many book that did not fit into there idea of what should be in the bible. Like the Gospel of Thomas , that would destroy the modern church . so take it only at face value.
"1, Ad he said, "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death."
77 Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained.

Split a piece of wood; I am there.

Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."

"The King James Bible is based upon Koine Greek manuscripts that contain fewer 'atticisms' than those used by most 'modern' bibles. This means that the King James Bible is based upon more accurate manuscripts. So this site holds the King James Bible to be the final authority concerning discrepancies between bible translations, being the inerrant word of God, from a Dispensational point of view."

Answer 6

The King James Version of the Bible is one of the earliest translation to english from greek and hebrew. He did not get the plague because he just translated it he did not change or twist any word of it. when they discovered the scrolls in Qumran they compared it to Kings James Version IT WAS PERFECT.

Answer 7

The bible is not one book, but it is a group of letters and writtings, When Rev was wrote the writter would have not even read many of the other writings.

The term book referes to that specific writings.

Answer 8

Oh yeah, it was edited like a @#%^U*$$%@#$^. So has been the trend of times through out history when powerful leaders don't like something so they change it. . . Lilith was dropped from earlier forms of the bible because she was a rebel, you go girl! Powerful men can't be intimidated by a powerful woman.

Answer 9

king james formed a group of scholars to create an english standardised version of the bible

and no, there were no plagues

Answer 10

to respond to one among your edits: A 'actual' Jew is absolutely everyone whose mom is Jewish, or who replaced into born into yet another faith, yet chosen to transform to Judaism. you do no longer must be orthodox to be a 'actual' Jew! EDIT TO ASKER, no, we are no longer a race; we are a faith, a human beings, and it passes down contained in direction of the mummy's line. So in different words confident, if the mummy is Jewish, so is the baby. If the father is Jewish, then the baby isn't regarded as Jewish yet in Reform and cutting-element synagogues, that are greater comfortable, they in all threat will. i understand this is slightly complicated, wish that enables!
