I have a mate that truly idolises the KJV. he is nuts in his assessment of such, just childish dribble he has been indoctrinated in, yes it is one of the best I say and I do say that the newer versions are crap.
Be carful of the new KJV tho, you need the OKJV with the words of Jesus in Red. sure I thought the Old English at times hard to read and I bagged it for that but for a serious Bible studying reader that's a fine Bible that will give one true understanding, but you need more than just the Bible to comprehend it, one would do well to understand about Hebrew and real Latin and have a handle on Greek, so as to understand the English translations are coming from better, as English is a crappy language based on much like nick names words that can change and do not describe that well and the bastard of it is that it can change meaning over time even from 180 degree of what once was a meaning and we see that rubbish nowadays a lot with total moronic rad idiots saying just dribbling trendy rubbish claiming to be cool. then I find we also have a majority of people who claim that if I mention real true Latin they pull stupid face claiming, it's a dead language ? I say really moron, are you that uneducated that you do not under stand the context of what is meant by Dead ? I means that it does not change and that it describes everything there is, no nick names at all to anything and that's why Doctors have to know Latin, for if they did not know such you would be dealing with a quack. Chemist has to understand Latin, outside of that one would be hopeless moron not worthy to be in charge of such as their would be mistakes made like you would not believe.
One real good Bible is the old Catholic Bibles they have a lot of information in them, but the newer versions of Catholic Bibles are totally shocking, no doubt because the RCC has been bastardised.
I was informing my aunty about the shock I got when looking for a new RC Bible, now she goes to Church everyday full on and she had no regard as to such, I was like really ! now that's ignorance.
