...The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible begun in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England.: "And now at last, ...it being brought unto such a conclusion, as that we have great hope that the Church of England (sic) shall reape good fruit thereby..." Printed by the King's Printer, Robert Barker, the first edition included schedules unique to the Church of England; for example, a lectionary for morning and evening prayer. This was the third such official translation into English; the first having been the Great Bible commissioned by the Church of England in the reign of King Henry VIII, and the second having been the Bishop's Bible of 1568. In January 1604, King James I of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England.

What's the difference between I just bought bibles for my
family and friends. Inside It
says Authorized King James
Version. What the heck?
Authorized? Can someone tell
me if this bible has been
altered in any way?
For those who haven't answered
yet. I noticed that at the
beginning of each book there
is a description of what the
book is about. In MY King
James Version bible, they
don't have that. It's just the
books of the Bible. Thanks.

My one King James bible says it is both. I have studied this bible [ or many just like it ], 46 years, if there is anything missing, I have not found it, it is true and complete in 66 Books. I am amaized that they began to be published 398 years ago, when Moses was at Exodus 3562 years ago and that was 430 years after Abraham's covenant that he got 427 years after Noah was in the flood year 1656. |

Wasn't the Authorized Version How then do so many homophobic
"Christians" justify this
tainted Bible?

Yes. And I have no idea. |

since King James was a King, or wanted? Because there is no
authority that isn't from God,
and even angels don't speak
bad about Kings.
So since King James Authorized
the KJV, does that mean that
God Himself authorized that
version?

1) since King James was a King, is the King James Version the version that God wrote? No. 2) or wanted? Possibly. The King James Version was probably the best (most accurate and precise) English bible available for about 250 years. By today's standards it is not a great translation, but in its time - clearly - it was outstanding. 3) So since King James Authorized the KJV, does that mean that God Himself authorized that version? We can certainly consider such a possibility, but then we would also have to consider the Revised Version to be authorized by God, as well as all of the Roman Catholic bibles (every one approved by someone in authority). The NEB and REB might also qualify, being approved by religious authority in the U.K. Then there's the HCSB, approved by the Southern Baptists Convention, etc. etc. etc. Jim, http://www.bibleselector.com/r _kjv_apoc.html |
