I never said ANYTHING regarding the KJV being translated from Greek texts, original or otherwise; point of fact, the translators availed themselves of ALL sources that were available to them at the time, including the oldest Greek and Latin versions still in existance. And they then inserted a caveat into their introduction to the translation warning against taking their translation as 'the gospel truth' (pun intended), as they recognized that discoveries of older texts that may be made in the future would give additional information that would affect translations into English; they noted that they did the best they could with what they had available to work with, but that future discoveries could rightly modify their work... What I was referring to in my post was your claim that your ancestors worked on the translation in the 1800s; the KJ bible was created during the reign of James I of England, in the 1600s... >You will note the Hebrew alphabet is used in the 119th Psalm - more >ritual murders. Well since Psalms is part of the OLD Testament, of course it would be originally spoken, and then later written down, in Hebrew... >Further Jesus Christ closed the book at Isiah 60 and blew off the whole >god damned bunch. You once admitted that you not only do NOT attend church, but that you don't particularly even BELIEVE anything that is written in the Bible...so why do you consistently go off on wild tangents regarding what you think anything in the Bible 'means'? >My ancesators and relatatives on my mother's side in particular were ALL >Greek and Latin scholars virtually Are these the same ancestors and relatives who descend from Charlemagne and King Arthur and who have hobnobbed with all manner of royalty, the Kennedys, and the Mafia? Well perhaps these obsessive pursuers of The-Lifestyles-of-the-Rich-and-Famous-Throughout-History were indeed Greek and Latin scholars...but YOU, my dear Colleen, ARE NOT. And your manic meandering posts regarding your hallucinations on holy writ prove it.
