The thing is that our Bible translations are not accurate representatives of Greek translation

johnydon22:
Op do you know that King James was a Bisexual when he was alive?

he no concern me
no be him wrote the book self na Theologians wrote it and then honour him by putting his name there as KJV

Kalatium:
Most of us must have had about the king James Version (KJV). If you haven't, it is a bible version published in 1611. Today there are hundreds of Modern Version(MV) published which promises to translate the Bible safely and in current English.

Below are some of the reasons why KJV has shortcomings.

1. Since English language is evolving,the KJV contains hundreds of archaic(outdated) words that cannot be nderstood by us.such words include: whither,aforementioned,thither,whence,whosoever,thou,thine,thy,thee,ye,yea,nay, aforetime,it came to pass; eth endings like loveth,falleth,runneth;edst or est endings like shouldest;canst,.This is the main reason why in 1885,the English Revised Version was made to update the KJV.The NKJV is the closest update of the KJV.Even in the future,we still need Bible versions that will be comprehended.

2. The worst is those words whose meaning has change,thereby confusing the modern reader e.g Save during that time means Except,suffer means allow,let means hinder etc.

3 In 1samuel 13:21 KJV translated the Hebrew word 'pim' as file (which was a wild guess) .But in the 20th century an excavation was carried out, and pim was discovered to mean as NIV translates "2/3 of shekels".Compare KJV and other versions to see the difference.

4. Sometimes readings from Latin Vulgate were incorporated into KJV when translating the New Testament (NT) while some where transliterated which makes it different from Modern Versions (MV). e.g Esaias(KJV) vs Isaiah(MV),Elias vs Elijah, Timotheus vs Timothy etc.

5. The KJV and well even NKJV is not paragraph, there are no paragraphs, appropriate punctuations,sentence, phrases, etc

6. The KJV uses an inferior recent Greek text known as 'The Received Text(Textus Receptus)' but almost all MV uses a superior Greek text known as 'Nestle—Aland/UBS Greek text'

Yet, it has taken thousands and millìons of souls to heaven and still does today; and will continue to transform ordinary people into saintly, righteous and holy people! What a wonder.....!!!!!
