1- When the Lord gave scripture to O.T. Jews, he gave it to them in their language.
2- When the Lord gave scripture to N.T. Christians, he gave it to them
in the language of the day.
3-Then the Lord gave nations Holy Bibles in their language.
4- Finally, the Lord gave the entire world Holy Bibles in the universal language,
5- which was translated into languages throughout the world.
The KJV Holy Bible is the most translated bible of all time.

Predestination, inspiration and providence continued
throughout canonization and publication of scripture.
6- While the entire line of scripture are records, the outstanding record of scripture and the scripture of final authority is the published text and form
of the AV 1611 KJV Holy Bible first edition.
All KJV Bibles are editions of the AV 1611 KJV Holy Bible first edition.
7- The KJV Holy Bible is the most published, distributed and read bible of all time.

1- To believe that Hebrew did not change for thousands of years is absurd. For example, in Ecclesiastes we have the PERSIAN word for paradise which did not come to the Jewish lexicon, as many other words, until the exhile. Frankly, I think all Genesis is a translation by Moses into early Hebrew of the patriarchal writings, but I admit that is specualtive.
2- So, when Latin replaced Greek as lingua franca, and Jerome produced the Vulgate, do you believe then the RC vulgate is more faithful than the original Greek?
3- Really, the Lord made sure each nation got a perfect translation. Think about that some more brother.
4- English the universal language? Please, please lets ask the Chinese, or how about South America? Oh and the French, boy they make sure theirs is THE universal language of diplomacy. As for universal languages, that claim belongs only to Esperanto, which is more Spanish than anything else. Friend you need to get out more.
5- The KJV the most translated book of all time? Are you referencing th NewKJV or are you just really, really confused between a translation and a reprint? The earliest translated set of books is the OT (septuagint), and by far the OT and particularly the NT are the most translated book. But the KJV is just one translation, very popular perhaps the most popular, but just one.
6- So now God's Word derive's it's authority from a homosexual King who was quite friendly towards Rome until (I think) Guy Fawkes and buddies tried to blow up parliament. Well, check me on my English history there, but that Queen Jamita was, well, in the terms of Koinonie Greek, a "soft man" is beyond question. Now this is interesting, like North American blacks voting >95% for the Democrats, party of slavery, the KKK and Jim Crow, we have the KJVOnly crowd having God submit to the authority of "soft man" James ehose intructions to the translators included that a "middle way" be found between the Protestants and Rome. To this day the Anglican Church promotes the Laodice... err, sorry, the lukewa.... err, sorry again, the "middle way": and THIS is the translation the hyper-strident KJVO crowd affixes itself to! Can anyone see the irony here?
7- The reason for the KJV success has less to do with it's inherent merit and more to do with the power of the British crown. When you could get free KJV Bibles financed by the Crown, but would be under suspicion at minimum for owning a Great Bible, or the Geneva Bible well, ladi da, presto magiko, or in the words of medieval Roman priests "Hocus Pocus" we have a financial winner.
So does that mean that I am wrong to prefer the NASB to the NIV "translation" because the NIV is the most common modern English translation? So now Truth is a matter of who has the most money to print? Really, this is quite the irony.
The KJV is a translation, I ought to think a good one (until I began to examine it carefully). To make it an Idol is sacriligeous.
Oh well, the last time I injected somebody's ankle at Church I took out a votive candle with the picture of the crippled "St Lazarus" and dripped melted wax in the shape of a cross on the ankle while chanting what parts of "Ave Maria" I still remember. That was funny, not really idolatrous, but you KJVO guys are close to the full on idolatry.
