I used to read the king james bible until i realized(despite large chunks of substance and accuracy) that it was a joke and in bad need of updating.
The mistranslation of "easter" instead of passover is a classic example of how the king james is not perfect and therefore cannot possibly be the ennerant perfect preserved word of god in english.
all i have to do is prove that the word easter is wrong and that will silence you all.

The word easter(acts 12:4) in the king james version is a blatantly erroneous mistranslation that has been "correctly" corrected in virtually every other modern bible translation. The original greek word is "pascha" which is translated everwhere else in the king james bible as passover (so why the inconsistency in acts12:4?) which is what it means. It refers to the biblical passover originally instituted when god freed the israelites from slavery in egypt.
The original apostles, from the inception of the new testament church to near the end of the first century, when the apostle john died, left absolutely no record of observing easter or teaching others to do so.
The term "easter" is not of christian origin. It is another form of "Astarte, one of the titles of the chaldean(Babylonian) goddess, the queen of heaven. The festival of pasch(passover) held by christians in post apostolic times was a continuation of the jewish feast. From this "pasch" the pagan festival was introduced into the apostate western religion as part of an attempt to adapt pagan festivals to christianity.
What means the term easter itself? it bears its chaldean origin on its very forehead. Easter is nothing else than "Astarte", one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven, whose name, as pronounced by the people of Nineveh, was... "Ishtar."
As years went on among those who called themselves christian, the title easter was used to wrongly desribe the passover.
In reality, most of the trappings associated withy easter reveal that the holiday is actually a fraud pawned off on unsuspecting well intentioned christians. God wants us to worship in spirit and in truth, not to recycle ancient customs used to worship pagan gods.Rather difficult as it may be to admit, easter merely continues the practices pagans followed thousands of years ago to honor their non existent gods. Easter is a tradition that dishonors god and if you say the king james translation is correct you are contradicting the actual greek word and advocating ancient pagan practices falsely associated with genuine christianity.
I think i have said enough to prove the the word easter in the king james bible is out of place and a blatant "mistranslation" and therefrore i have proved that the king james bible then, cannot possibly be the ennerant preserved word of god in english. end of story.

I assure you all, that yoiu will buy my version and replace your ancient king james with it.
