Many book publishers will not even consider printing the book you've written if you used the King James Version.

This was a statement. What do you think of this fact?

The Word of God is like a two edged Sword, I can see why they would not publish the KJV. It is all TRUTH.

Huh? The King James Version of the Bible? What does that have to do with book publishing? You need to clarify this question. Have you written a book in which you quoted scripture, and they refuse to publish your book since you used the KJV?

You need to be more specific in what you are saying/asking:
They won't consider printing the book you've written if you used the KJ version FOR WHAT? In what way would you use it? Publishers have restrictions about using anyone else's
work within your own - it depends on what and how you are
using it, and whether or not you are giving the other book proper credits and have permission from the other publisher, etc. I cannot even begin to understand what it is you are
trying to do. Please edit.

The King James Version was written before the Dead Sea scrolls were found. This is enough for some publishers to have policies against printing books that contain them.

King James Version? You mean style of writing? Maybe because not enough people are interested in it to buy the book. I don't think it's censorship.

When you say many, do you have any statistics or data to back up the claim? I can't form an opinion without a proper premise to start from.

Why do you assume that it is "liberalism" if you use the KJV. Wouldn't that be more "conservatism"? An unwillingness to accept other's beliefs?
In any case, the question is underasked and I am not certain what it is you want clarification upon.

Many? Can you quote a fact before trying to put down publishers please?
I don't honestly believe that, to tell you the truth.

uhh...
perhaps a few more details would have helped....
and if that is how you wrote a book then the KJV of the bible has nothing to do with you not getting published...
