why dont people do there own research about the king james bible?i have included some of mine.?

Question

William Tyndale was the writer of it at least 90% of it.
he didnt even know hebrew at the time. and relied on a translation from Desiderius Erasmus for the greek text.
. It was Tyndale who first introduced the name “Jehovah” into the English language, in his translation of the Pentateuch at Exodus 6:3.

will you do your own research? if this research is false let me know where your research is found?

History of the Church of England, by R. W. Dixon

He was finally condemned as a heretic, and just before he was strangled and burned, he uttered the words, “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.”

Answer 1

Tyndale has 90% to do with the King James version? I don't think so. You say he wrote most of it? It is kinda tough to write even 90% of a book 80 years after you're dead.

Tyndale was a Greek scholar and did make use of Erasmus; which Wycliffe before him did not have access to. His command of accurate English probably did influence all later English translations. Wycliffe was about 1380 - Tyndale was published in 1525 and 1530.

Tyndale also used the Latin Vulgate which for 1,000 years was the Bible of the Roman Church. Tyndale was martyred for his efforts before completing the Old Testament.

Materials left by Tyndale are thought to be the basis of the Matthews translation of 1537. Miles Coverdale, a friend of Tyndales, published a Bible in 1535 dedicated to King Henry VIII. His New Testament is largely based on Tyndale.

John Rogers, a friend and companion of Tyndale, is credited with the Matthews Bible of 1537. Tyndale, Cloverdale and Rogers are used as the basis for the Great Bible 0f 1539. This Bible was large and chained to church reading desks.

Still before the King James is the Geneva Bible of 1560; translated by scholars who fled England under the persecution of Queen Mary. Next came the Bishop's Bible of 1568; prepared under the direction of the Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of Elizabeth.

Next we have the Douay Bible, an English translation of the Vulgate by the Roman Church about 1609.

NOW comes the King James of 1611 prepared by 47 scholars under the authorization of King James I of England.
For this version scholars made use of both Hebrew and Greek texts and consulted other English translations as well.
The basis of the King James, however, is not Tyndale but the Bishop's Bible of 1568. These men were not sipping tea and making copies of Tyndale.

If you insist that the King James is 90% Tyndale, you need to quote your sources. None of my past study or present references speak to your claim.

Answer 2

Here's an interesting fact:

In 1604 the king of England, James I, commissioned a group of scholars to produce an English version of the Bible. Some seven years later, they released the King James Version, also known as the Authorized Version.

In this case too, the translators chose to avoid the divine name, using it in just a few verses. In most instances God’s name was replaced by the word “LORD” or “GOD” to represent the Tetragrammaton. This version became the standard Bible for millions. The World Book Encyclopedia states that “no important English translations of the Bible appeared for more than 200 years after the publication of the King James Version. During this time, the King James Version was the most widely used translation in the English-speaking world.”

Answer 3

Too many so-called students of the bible are really just religionists with little interest in true bible-based worship. The facts plainly show that much of Christendom has worked to betray God and the bible.
http://watchtower.org/e/pr/index.htm?article=article_04.htm

True Christianity is based on living in harmony with and preaching the "good news" of God's Messianic Kingdom by Christ Jesus. The true Christian congregation is organized primarily to perform this global Scriptural assignment.

(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations

(Luke 9:6) They went through the territory from village to village, declaring the good news

(Acts 5:42) Every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.


By stark contrast with so-called "religious" activists, however, Jehovah's Witnesses note pointedly that biblical "good news" is not about such things as abortion or homosexuality or the death penalty or Iraq or pharmaceuticals or psychiatry. Individual Jehovah's Witnesses may have opinions on such issues, but they do not advocate for or against these issues as though it were a primary message from God.

Sadly, so-called "religious" activists distract from the real message of God and obfuscate the bible's "Good News". These self-absorbed religionists focus so much attention of their human agendas that they ignore the godly teachings that can really help people.

Jehovah's Witnesses go from house to house to encourage and upbuild. Their work is to spread the "Good News", which is about the Kingdom of God, and the blessings the Messianic King Christ Jesus will bring.

(Luke 8:1) Journeying from city to city and from village to village, preaching and declaring the good news of the kingdom of God

(Acts 10:36) Declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ

Let me be clear: I am NOT defending the Kingeth Jameth. That said, since you have made the assertions, it is the burden of proof is upon you, not the other way around. If you have done some research, bully for you! Let the rest of us ignoramouses benefit from your hard work and disclose your sources.

Answer 5

KJV version is one of the worst given the latest modern translation information that has arisen with discoveries of older manuscripts.

For an analysis of the various translations of the bible see:
http://faith.propadeutic.com/questions.html

For accurate translations of the bible at the literal level I recommend you use the NASB or ESV translations.

Answer 6

The bible was commissioned by the Pagan Roman Emporer, Constantine.
So does the translation of it really matter?

Answer 7

David Icke- The biggest secret. Email me and I will send you the book.
I also recommend James Allen, As a man thinketh. Really simple and great book that will help you understand the Bible and how the masses deal with it.

Answer 8

Answer 10

What exactly are you trying to find out? Are you using this as a argument for Jehovah witnesses'? Please. We all know they are a cult.
