And as a result of centuries of satanic oppression, opposition & persecution was birthed the most beautiful and powerful piece of literature that this world has ever known.

That was the right moment in time (birthed in blood) when God's word could fit into a style of English that possessed the correct capacity to represent it properly.
In other words “spiritual revelation” determined what was to be written in the English tongue (& that was done with the utmost sense of reverential awe).

Today that is not the case! What we are encountering today is "a worldly godless culture" that has not only gained a controlling voice within western Christendom, but is also determining what is to be placed into the text of these "so called new versions".

In 1611 the obvious fruits of the reformation was that the word of God was determining culture of the day, as today culture is determining factor behind what the word of God ought to say. The source of authority was what God said – now the word of God is being determined by what we say!

It was Tyndale who not only took on the “so called” experts of his day, but took from those same “experts” what which wasn’t known (i.e. The Scriptures) into the hands of the common people.
Today, that what is known is being taken from the common folk into the hands of the experts once again (e.g. “unless you speak Greek you are without authority!”)

Can you see what they are doing? They are taking our sword out of our hands (the purchase of which was the blood of so many martyrs) and giving us many different sizes & styles of sticks to fight each other with that can do no harm to our real enemy, but only each other).

When the KJB argument is entered into it is not a preference of English styles or words but a spiritual battle of the hottest sorts. And just look how far they will go their version of the Bible to create their own god.

“Yea hath God said” – the lie has never changed – it is just another old scenario happening to a whole new generation.

Paul,

Profound thoughts and I think very true. Thanks for sharing them.
