The 1611 spelling
Jordan / thewoodsofjordan made a funny youtube video supposedly against King James Bible onlyism.
He writes:
"Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without forme, and voyd, and darkenesse was vpon the face of the deepe: and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the face of the waters."
Here is one of his examples, in which he tries to prove that the King James Bible is different now. Notice all the differences he shows in the above two verses are merely to do with the English presentation, not with any differences of translation or underlying text.
It should be obvious that "voyd" is the same as "void", and that the spelling now is uniform and proper.
He even says that the name of the Saviour is now different, that in 1611 people said "Iesvs" (pronounced literally), but now we have "Jesus". He fails to realise that the letter J is written as an I, and the letter u is written as a v in 1611. There is no change in sound at all, and no actual change in the name!
