What's the big deal with KJV?

Many christians swear by the KJV of the bible, written in 1611. I am a Christian, and it is very hard to follow the text and meaning given the 400 year old language difference.

If you and/or your church only reads from this translation, I'd really like to know what you see in it, and maybe why you only read that translation?

I too had that question. It is a language that is very hard to follow and I like to rely on my own ability to understand what is written then someone telling me "that is what it means." Who wants to go before Jesus on Judgment Day and be told that you were told the wrong thing?

I was told that it was the most accurate translation of the original writtings. The original works of the Bible were written in now what is a dead language, which means that the meanings of the words have not changed with time. My question on that was how do you know? King James was an actual King. The bible translation was O.K.ed by him, what if he did not like something that was translated, would he just have it left out? That being said, there are some translations out there that really add or take away from the KJV. I would suggest that you try a NKJV, it is written in todays language and stays strictly by the KJV.

All we can do is have faith that God will reveal all of His Truths to us as we study. I do not believe that anyone has ever challenged the KJV of the Bible as being accurate and I guess it has stood the test of time. Use the New King James Version, I think that you will be pleasantly surprised by the ease of understanding.

Good luck and God Bless
