King James hired Constentine to remake the bible the way he wanted to hear it and they destroyed every other bible that he didn't like. It's true, research it....

I'd like an answer to that myself. Because there have been so many different version of the bible, each one written to fulfill the needs of different people. How anyone can claim it as truth when knowing full well that it has been altered from its original form is beyond me. But this is true for the rest of the Christian religion, for the church will change meanings and such to fit what they believe or how they believe it should be. Its sad really when a supposed so connected and strong faith has so much manipulation involved with it.
You are right to be curious like so many others or us. Good question and good factual point.

You're research is flawed. He did have that happen, but the remake is of the original Hebrew version. Additionally, he was not the only person, even in his time, to have the Bible re-written. The scrolls were made into manuscripts, and then translated into English through other various authors. The reason King James had the Bible re-written in the first place was to remove the footnotes placed from the church to allow everyone to interpret the words for themselves.
On top of all of that the Bible has more profoundly documented manuscripts than any other single piece of literature. -- 24,637 to be exact. (the Iliad is #2 with 647). This means that even though the translations have changed some words, here and there, throughout generations and versions, the principles ALWAYS remained the same. So, it doesn't matter what version of the Bible you read, you can KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is the truth. I I believe that a lot of people like the Old English dialect that the King James version is written in, though, and that is why it is so prominant in the US.

You got your history wrong. King James lived LONG AFTER Constantine. Anyway both of them firetrucked up the bible.

The KJV bible was God inspired. the new versions are man made and are counterfits of satan designed to confuse those who obey the laws of God. These newer versionsa re diluted and are no longer the word of God, but the word of man.

Constantine died in 337.
King James died in 1625.
Your post died 20 seconds ago.
