Question

One of the best known sites for Christian propaganda and studies.

Third, the King James Bible has undergone three revisions since its inception in 1611, incorporating more than 100,000 changes. Which King James Bible is inspired, therefore?

the actual link is http://www.bible.org/page.asp?page_id=665

Well personaly i don't know how many words in bible all togheter but 100000 changes seems way too much. I am not taken credits for thsi question or claiming this to be truth. WHile i was reading on different interpretations of different bibles ( which did effect several doctrines) i find this QUestion.

Answer 1

Keep in mind that they are reffering only to the KJB in this respect. How many other changes in the other 300+ versions of the bible?
Well since it's mythology anyway, who cares what they change? It's all immaterial...

Oh and Sandybeachbum?
Thank you for illustrating exactly why I reject christianity. If I woke up one day and was given a choice, be as mindlessly slavish to an outdated bronze-age jewish mythology, or shoot myself. I'd immediately ask for the gun.
Thanks for reminding me just how fortunate I am not to be like you...

Answer 2

The links at the bottom give a little history behind the process of translating the Bible into English.

You seem to be arguing from a false premise; Only a small handful of English-speaking Protestant Christians actually believe that the KJB is the only English translation that has been ordained by God for English speaking people to read.

The "divine inspiration" of the Bible is in the original Greek and Hebrew texts, not in the English translation process.

If by "changes" you simply mean variations in grammar, wording or spelling, to make a translation more "modern", then there have been many changes; if you are referring to changes in meaning, than there really haven't been any changes at all.

The first book that I have listed below is a lively and interesting read:

"The King James Only Controversy"
Author: James R. White
Price: $12.00
Product Description: .Is your Bible translation reliable? Is the King James Version the only real Bible? The "translation debate" rages on leaving confusion and misinformation in its wake. In The King James Only Controversy, James White leads readers through the basic issues of the debate and provides a lively and readable introduction to textual criticism. White examines specific scripture passages and the allegation that modern translators conspire to corrupt the Bible.

"The King James Version Debate: A Plea for Realism"
Price: $8.00
Product Description: .Is the King James Version superior to all modern English translations of the Bible? Many contemporary writers and theologians think so. Carson, however, thinks otherwise. In this book, he solidly refutes both the premise and propositions of this popular belief.

Answer 3

Due to language barriers, the original texts, which where just letters that the apostles wrote, wording has been changed around to a point, to make it easier to read and understand. Because the King James versions of the Bible, and this means all of them, were just copied from copies, they were NOT inspired by God, but by man himself. The original text was God Breathed, inspired, though.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

Answer 4

You're right it has been changed a lot. maliciously, or lost in translation? Don't know.

The thing is, just forget asking people, everyone will just tell you their version is right. (I was about to do it too).

If you want to know if an idea really comes from God that you read about in the Bible (or any other source for that matter) you should just ask Him. And if you really want to know (meaning your willing to act on whatever the answer may be) He'll let you know by either a good feeling in your heart and clarity in your mind, or a not so good feeling in the heart and confusion in the mind.

Answer 5

1.) the King James Version of the bible is just a translation of the original in Latin.
2.) look at the changes, they are mostly minor except for the whole "horns of light" instead of "beams of light" with moses.
3.) originally, the bible wasn't a bible, it was a collection of separate, divinely inspired texts that were put together to form the first bible.

Answer 6

When I read the article completely I still prefer the KJV. Here is another excerpt from the article:"Third, when one examines the variations between the Greek text behind the KJV (the Textus Receptus) and the Greek text behind modern translations, it is discovered that the vast majority of variations are so trivial as to not even be translatable (the most common is the moveable nu, which is akin to the difference between ‘who’ and ‘whom’!)"
Good article!

Answer 7

The inspired word of God is the Original Writings that were written thousands of years ago. The TRANSLATIONS are inspired in that God has caused them to be translated correctly FOR THIER TIMES the Message version for instance is a good translation for NOW. None of them Change in meaning just in some of the words used.

Answer 8

We should read the other spiritual texts. Like hindus and buddhists texts. They are more approach by the truth. Otherwise the Christianity try to restrain the entired history to a book. So much stupidity, a book is limited and is written by human beeings, not by the God.

Answer 9

King James Bible the 4th?
or maybe the 3rd?

Answer 10

It needs another revision yet, to eliminate such phrases as "four corners of the earth" which implies that the earth has corners.

Also, Matthew and Luke disagree on Joseph's lineage. The new revision should repair that. (And if Luke's lineage really is Mary's line, then someone should put MARY in that lineage and add in a note that Joseph married her).
