Trust

With the exception of Catholics, most Christians have accepted 66 books as the Holy Bible. These books were chosen and separated by men, presumably under the guidance of God. Several books were intentionally left out and removed from Holy Canon and placed under the category of Apocropha.

I believe the King James Version was translated with the guidance of God. Briefly, God appoints Kings thus the KJV was authorized. Moreover, I believe the men responsible for the translation were led by pure motives under the supervision of the Holy Ghost. If you get the opportunity, read the dedication page available at the front of some KJV Bibles.

It is good to question, but sometimes simple acceptance is the best choice. I believe my King James Holy Bible was assembled by men with the permission and guidance of God. If you believe this, you don’t need to chase after new translations or go back to the Greek or Hebrew. You can simply trust in the finished work of God.

Where does your trust begin and where does it end?

Outdated

Most Greek and Hebrew dictionaries or interlinear bibles used today were written and printed after 1950. Time wise this is more than four centuries away from resources used by translators in the 1600’s.

Ultimately, you need to ask yourself which translator do you want to place your trust in?

You can trust the Authorized King James Version or you can put your trust in modern translation which is often done by weekend scholars and teachers who desire to display knowledge they don’t actually possess (i.e. puffing themselves up, making comments like “a better translation would be” or “a more accurate translation would be”.)

Whenever someone says, “in the Greek it says” or “in the Hebrew it actually says”, just open your King James Version Holy Bible, turn to the verse in question, and you will know what it really means.
