THE KING JAMES VERSION ONLYIST SAYS OF THE MODERN TRANSLATIONS
"I'LL PASS. I'LL KEEP MY KJV"
RESPONSE TO THE KJVOIST
That's like the farmer who said of the new John Deere tractor, "No, that's ok. I will keep my ox and plow."
THE KJV HAS
(1) One thousand different words that do not mean today what they meant in 1611. The word "let" which means "to allow" or "to permit" today meant "to stop" or "to restrain" in 1611. When the KJV says that the apostle Paul 'let the great apostasy into the church,' it actually meant that he stopped it.
(2) Archaic language (See below)
(3) corrupt readings that were not in the original: individual words to phrases, to sentences, and even up to 12 whole versus.

YES, by all means, keep the understanding of translators of 450 years ago instead of having what we have learned about Hebrew and Greek over the past 450 years. And keep that corrupt 16th-century Greek NT text that they used for the NT that dated 1,200 years after Christ, as opposed to the thousands of manuscripts that we have discovered since many of which date within decades of the original. That is what free will is all about.
