In this episode of Ask Doug, Pastor Doug Wilson answers the question, "Why do you preach from the King James Version of the Bible?" Ask Doug is presented by Canon Press.
It’s the true word of God. Man’s opinion doesn’t matter. Man is going back to the dirt. All of this manuscript stuff doesn’t matter. Devil has everyone focused on the wrong thing. Causing confusion. And people acting like they are such scholars. Not that serious. Whatever worked 30, 300 years ago is still working. Good didn’t leave his people without a bible that he said he would preserve for over 400 years. That’s foolish. What God says is what matters. Why no one is going to God behooves me. The devil has people so caught up in “understanding” Gods word. He’s blinded their minds and people don’t realize this is spiritual, and the word is our sword against the enemy. They don’t know it’s not all about understanding- which that’s what the Holy Ghost is for anyway, that they forget it’s about the power behind Gods word. The kjv clearly says angels hearken unto the voice of Gods word. So when we speak his word angels move on our behalf , and demons hate the true word. They are tripped up by it, because it thwarts their plans. Even when a demon is being cast out of someone, I notice they tend to use thee, and thus. Why is that? Why don’t they quote the niv or the others? Because even they know the true word. Niv, and all that other crap doesn’t even register with demons. If i say get THEE behind me Satan. They understand the kjv better than we ever will on this side of heaven. Therefore- I don’t need anything except the Bible that the devil is attacking. The one you can hardly find now. The one that’s hidden in my heart, even before I got saved. The one that worked when I quoted when I got saved. The one that ran demons out of the Alzheimer’s nursing home when I read it 23 years ago. The one people lost their lives over to get it printed. The one without the witchcraft symbol like nkjv. The one that gave me peace when I quoted it at night when I could hear what sounded like demons knocking on my window. The one that nobody had a problem with 100 years ago, or even 50 years ago- and worked for our grand and great grandparents, the one that I remember easily even with a bad memory- that’s the one I’ll stick with till I die!
@@Proverbspsalms WOW! WOW! WOW! Brother, you've said a lot....A REAL LOT....but unfortunately only we "with ears to hear", can hear you. But I hear you loud and clear brother. I am also, one more voice crying out in this hellish wilderness, called America.. GET BACK TO THE REAL BIBLE AND STUDY IT. There is a TREMENDOUS famine in this land, for the (HEARING) of the word of God. I'm with you 1000%. Very very very well put.
Thank you for laying this out so simply. I first watched this video over almost a year ago. After long consideration with studies of manuscript traditions and translation philosophy, I now read the KJV daily and I am blessed for it. Although it took a while for me to adjust, it forced me to carry out word studies and now scripture memorisation is much easier. Thank you again pastor Doug.
Grew up using KJV. my denomination got caught up in kjvonlyism and left my childhood church and went to other churches. Started looking at other English translation and I wanted a bible that I could read without a dictionary and thesaurus in hand. Went nkjv first then esv. Never looking back.

Not a KJV only person but your third point really resonated with me. I never thought of it in those terms. The fact that I am a Catholic may have increased my identification with your third point I don't know, either way, it was a unexpected and thought provoking point. Thanks,

While I disagree with Mr. Wilson on the Byzantine family being more reliable, I find the other points he made to be quite compelling and ones I’ve not heard from a KJV only type.
1 Peter 1:23-25 KJV Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. [24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: [25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
The underlying Greek text of the AV KJV, is by far the superior underlying Greek text, being in agreement with the majority of copies ever made or discovered. The reliability of a copy should not be determined by its age, anymore than a witnesses testimony in a court of law should be determined by the age of the witness. Especially when that witness's testimony disagrees with the overabundance of the majority of witnesses, whose testimony harmonizes with one another's.
this is not right though. what do you mean by majority of copies ever made ? the Greek text the KJV is based on, called Textus Receptus, was compiled somewhere around the 16th or 17th century, and had as few as 6 manuscripts and as many as 40, from the sources i’ve heard. the earliest Greek manuscript the compilers of the Textus Receptus had access to was written in the 10th century 900ad, 800 years after the original was written. The new Greek compiled texts, mainly Nestle Aland and the UBS are compiled based on the now roughly 5000 manuscripts that we have access to, with the earliest dating back to only about 50 years after the original texts were written, as well as complete new testaments by the 4th century. I could understand if you were arguing for Byzantine manuscript superiority over the majority Alexandrian, and I think Syriac as well, manuscripts. but if you are saying that - assuming you are talking about the Greek compiled text called “Textus Receptus”- that the KJV is most accurate compared to the Textus Receptus - well of course it would be, since the KJV was written from the Textus Receptus. Otherwise, if you’re not using the Textus Receptus Greek text - are you comparing the newer Greek compiled texts to paraphrased translations such as the NIV and NLT, and then contrasting between the KJV? because if you are comparing paraphrase translations to the literal translation of the KJV, you are essentially comparing apples to oranges. The common argument for KJV-onlyists isn’t majority of manuscript and historical tradition, it is Byzantine manuscript superiority
also it isn’t the same as a witness’ testimony being determined by their age. What we are arguing for is the credibility of a witness based on the length of time from the incident and their relation to the incident relative to their position in time from the incident. So you would much rather prefer to have an early 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd account witness who was alive when the incident occurred, or is at the least second generation, rather than only have a witness who lived 800 years later and is going off of information that has been passed down 100s of times. By all means, if all that we have is 800 years later and we can faithfully trust that account based on historical context, studies, and surrounding information, then it should be considered trustworthy, but if we have much earlier sources that are corroborated by commentaries from the same time period, then why should we deny them to their rightful place?
Can't wait to hear James White's take. I never heard of KJV being from a "better" manuscript tradition. Hopefully he goes into more detail about what this means in future videos.
Check out the writings of John William Burgon, and literature from Trinitarian Bible Society. Burgon was a great textual scholar who opposed the errors of Westcott and Hort with their preference for defective manuscripts.
He did say that it was better in his opinion. I have done quite a bit of research and will say it is a extremely deep topic. Afterward I was convinced of the Byzantines reliability over the Alexandrian. But that is my opinion. For clarity, I'm not KJVO. I'd recommend that you do your own research as everyone has their own bias. Including me. God Bless!
AFAIK James White holds the opposing view (which I also hold because of him) that the current research collected manuscripts that were not available 1500 ac. I want to emphasize we all agree that KJV and nearly all of the current translations have the same message and that the differences are very specific and insignificant! If you want ressources (and only if you want - this topic is NOT essential): The Video that convinced me was th-cam.com/video/pL0P6sH0cJM/w-d-xo.html . Mike Winger (proponent of modern translations) also has a Video about the 3 single passages in the NT with significant differences/uncertainties: th-cam.com/video/G0VE7f-CzOQ/w-d-xo.html If someone has as in-depth-Ressources for KJV/TR, I would love to watch it some time :) God bless you all :)
I agree with Doug Wilson. KJV is a different Bible from the others. Just compare the translations. I am not a KJV only. But believe it is the best English translation. If it wasn’t for copyright laws, modern versions would look different. They did not choose the best words. They choose words that allowed the publishers to own copyrights.

I agree. I do not use the King James any longer. At this point in life, it is to difficult to try and interpret what it says. I simply do not speak that version of English.
KJV for me just feels more authoritative and formal and meaningful. I think because I struggled with it so much as a kid while also having reverence for it.

@@Proverbspsalmsit is indeed the true and living Word that stands alone and above anything ever written. So many blinded as you so truly say. God bless you and Lord I pray that others turn to your book in these last days.
Statism gave us the Vulgate, Douay-Rheims, and King James Version. The free market gave us the New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), New Living Translation (NLT), Christian Standard Bible (CSB), New American Standard Bible (NASB), Good News Bible (GNB), New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), New King James Version (NKJV), New American Bible (NAB), New World Translation (NWT), New International Reader's Version (NIrV), The Message (MSG). Who did it right?
COPYRIGHT means some human or humans are claiming credit for having inspired it of themselves. Hence copyright royalties. (MONEY) Did you know you can't write a book and quote over 250 words from any so called Bible other than the KJV without permission from those humans who inspired it? I must cry out...... A copyright means someone has the demon inspired audacity to actually change God's Words here & there... and still tell the world its....GODS Word. They must not have read the warnings not to add to or take away from God's word, or simply dismissed these warnings.
Love my Schuyler Trevaris KJV! Thanks, Doug, for standing up for the better manuscripts! I agree: I would love to see a contemporary formal equivalence translation done from the TR with no copyright holder.
I see your point, and it lines up with your philosophy of also wanting to return to imposing Christian law on non believers. That said, I disagree because the "church" in the public eye doesn't represent the true church of Christ. Just because the people that wrote the KJV identified as Christians doesn't mean we should give them any special treatment or authority in what they do. From the small research I have done I thought that the manuscript tradition for the KJV was weaker, but I still have a lot to learn on that element so I'll give it to you. I've been mostly studying from the ESV as of late, but I always like to compare versions whenever anything seems remotely unclear to make sure that I don't misinterpret based on translation alone.
The 3rd point is a great point. The WEB is actually a non-copyrighted modern and literal translation and I believe it's based on the same/similiar manuscript family as the KJV. The NET Bible is copyrighted but provided free
@@1Sackettgirl if I remember the video correctly, he didn't like copyright and the business driven translations. The WEB doesn't have either "issue". In those regards, the NKJV is just like other translations. But it is based on a similar text to the majority text, so you're right in pointing that out. I personally think the comprehension factor of the KJV isn't worth the benefits Doug pointed out but that's just me.
2 Corinthians 4:8-12 KJV We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; [9] Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; [10] Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. [11] For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. [12] So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

I respect Doug greatly and follow his ministry and content he publishes. I will agree with his last point. It is too bad that our contemporary Bible translations are owned and controlled by corporate interests. My Bible translations of choice are the NASB 95, LSB NT 2021, ESV, CSB and of course the KJV. However I am a critical text advocate. I am not sure of the ownership/copyright status of the NET Bible. I have heard it is open and free and have heard otherwise from those I trust.
This is earnest and sincere. But absolutely incorrect in a lot of ways. To say that newer versions are devoid of the church involvement and to imply it’s all corporations and corrupt has no basis. The NASB for example was absolutely formulated with an ecumenical, Christian run organization. Created by Christian scholars that are masters in Greek Hebrew and Aramaic. We know more about ancient Hebrew and Greek today than they did in the 1600s. King James had given directives on certain things. We know this so it’s kind of funny how newer Christian organizations are supposed to be more corrupted than literally a king/government directive? To say that the manuscript tradition is more reliable is another blunder. Newer translations are again dealing with more information, higher scholars, more ecumenical, many more manuscripts and earlier manuscripts than the KJV. No and I mean absolutely no doctrinal differences are found in kjv or any of the reliable newer versions. I love the kjv, I was raised on it and still quote the kjv more often. But to say that you have to use it because the nasb2020 is lesser in any way, is absurd. If anything I trust its accuracy to the original Greek much more.
I call kjv "original intent", especially in this age of revisionist history. Before all of this revisionism to history, America went by the Geneva and Kjv Bible, as they were from the same manuscripts. Now, there is much more fracturing happening in the western church and everybody has a different translation. That's okay, but there needs to be where they go back to a word for word translation tether than a thought for thought translation.
Mark 8:38 KJV Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Pastor, you might want to check out the Simplified King James Version (SKJV) from Barbour Publishing. It is in contemporary English. It is technically not a new translation, but a revision of the KJV, so still based on the same manuscripts. So far from my studies of it, it seems closer to the KJV than the NKJV.. Unfortunately it is under copyright .
First in! Huge fan. I have a question though. There’s a lot of Traditionalist Catholics in Idaho. What are your relations with them, if any? Do any of them attend New Saint Andrews?

I often use the English Study Bible which is a revision of the Authorized Version, known popularly as the King James Version. This revision was done with constant reference to the same Hebrew and Greek manuscripts that the translators of the KJV used. It sounds like it is what Doug Wilson is looking for. It is available for free as an app from Grace Ministries India. It was produced by the American missionary Bob Crow and his Indian colleague Jeevan Nair. It also available in Telegu. Other languages are in the works. Have a look.
Good points. I find myself feeling the same way. I do use the NKJV and MEV in supplemental fashion to the KJV in preaching. Would be curious to hear his opinion on the WEB. Nov 2020 Edit: I've purchased and am reading the LSV, as well as the others, it's an update of the YLT, so far, I like it. Have to say, I'm using the KJV less in preaching and teaching

The NKJV checks all the boxes for him except that the copyright is owned by Thomas Nelson Pubs....and for that reason ALONE he does not use the NKJV? Not a good reason not to use it,
Why? What do YOU find lacking in the KJV? The NKJV has a few differing editions. I must question if you really believe "(ALL) scripture is given by inspiration of God" Remember Jesus said "but the WORDS I SPEAK they will judge you in the final day" Are you really okay with men changing (the words) by which we will all be judged in the last day?
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. All your reasons are reasonable AND KJV is so beautiful. It’s easier to memorize BECAUSE it’s Shakespearean English. Our current culture is so dumbed down; it would do them good to stretch their vocabularies. I love the KJV.

Protestant King James the 1st authorized and financed scholars who knew Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, and other relative languages to compile the most accurate translation of the Holy Scriptures in an English translation for the common man in his kingdom. Back then the average Bible was chained to the pulpits of the local Church buildings. There were scarce copies back then and a lot were in Latin. The Catholics hated King James for that and because the King was Protestant. Roman Catholic Guy Fawkes tried to assassinate the King and his court by using barrels of gun powder below the floor of the King's court to blow them up. But he was caught and executed.
@@MegaGeorge1948 You have to understand the context of the times. A Bible was chained to the pulpit because, prior to the printing press, every Bible was produced by hand, usually by Monks. In addition most ordinary people could neither read or write. However, in 1582 an English version of the Bible was printed by The Catholic Church, called the Douay-Rheims version, which predates the Protestant King James which appeared in 1611. You're right about Guy Fawkes being caught and executed. Not that I condone his efforts but when it became clear that King James was not to grant Catholics any relief from the persecution of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I, this desperate plot was hatched. Nothing to do with Bible versions though.

Why would someone argue with it? Point 3 is a blatant and lazy misrepresentation of Bible history. If it were a fair representation either of the church that produced the KJV or the so-called "corporations" that produce modern translations, perhaps there'd be credence to this view - but that's utter nonsense. The lovely irony is that Wilson recently released a book list and included the basic laws of human stupidity by Tebb... 👀
The "Archaic" language is absolutely imperitive. Removal of the thee's, thou's, thine, ye's etc. Has completely changed meanings of entire passages. Christians really need to stop elevating men of intellect and simply trust their Bible. Is the Creator incapable of preserving His word in one complete book? Has he left it up to modern scholarship to give you absolute truth? Have you ever wondered how a Pastor can hold up a bible and proclaim that it is the infallible word of God while simultaneously there are other Pastors doing the same thing with a different version? There can only be one my dear brothers and sisters. Start at the beginning and follow the line of manuscripts, research greek philosophies that were corrupting the word of God and use your own discernment through prayer instead of listening to men like James White. His sole purpose is to turn people away from the KJB and I will not be convinced otherwise. It is painfully obvious that he trusts his own opinion above the King James Bible and that should be alarming to everyone, but for some reason it is not. Why is that? Has satan so marvelously casted doubt in the minds of the majority of professing believers. Doubt that they can actually hold and read the words of Almighty God? 2 Corinthians 2:17 KJV: "For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God" Corruption has always existed and continues to this day. The King James Bible is without one single error because it has not been corrupted. Just look at the fruits that came once the KJB was complete and now look at the state of the supposed church since they decided that the KJV was too hard to read, which is absolute nonsense. I actually barely graduated high school and I read and understand it. God bless
Because my KJV Bible tells me so! When you read the KJV only like these Biblically misguided and miseducated KJV-onlyist guys here you get to believe that "unicorns" exist as they are mentioned (that is, erroneously translated) in the KJV Bible! Read: Numbers 23:22; 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Job 39:9-12; Psalms 22:21; and Isaiah 34:7.
All I needed to read was 1 John 3:9-10 KJV Just for starters...adding nothing, taking away nothing....and receive it into my heart. Anytime I want to test for demons in others, I just read those two verses..word for word.... ....and demons manifest in people to, in 10000 ways, war against the divine power over committing sin, EVER, Christ gives his true converts.
James White makes Christians deny Christ James white is a textural critic we shouldn't be criticizing the word of God we should believe in it the KJV that is all the other versions are perversions that leads you back to Rome and to hell
I will never understand the KJV onlyism logic - if there is logic - Three major reasons to choose KJV: 1. The familly of the manuscripts chosen by Erasmus. i.e the Byzantine late corrupted manuscripts of which Erasmus didn't have but half a dozen! you know that there is many differences between the TR of Erasmus and the Byzantine text? 2. The pholosophy!! what ever he ment by it, it has no weight or value in textual critic. 3. The church, where is the church in the new english translations? It is like hearing the Pope of Rome in the medivial ages. The Jehova witnesses have a translation that you can consider as a work of the church - not the building we call church they don't have one - and you can see the bad infulence of the church in this translation. Still who says that all the modern translations are made by atheists or non christians?
Assim como aqui no Brasil, eu percebo que nos Estados Unidos tem muita gente ignorante/incrédula. Defender texto crítico é coisa de humanista que se baseia no intelecto dos eruditos, ao invés das promessas do Senhor em preservar Sua Palavra.

@@joshhigdon4951 the Apostles were not Calvinist nor was Jesus a Calvinist. Calvinism started with gnostics. Then later was polished up by Augustine and then Luther and John Calvin. When you call yourself after another man’s name (who is not Jesus) you’re being carnal. My friend study the word for yourself. Many people can convince others of strange doctrines by using verses out of context. If the matter were not so we would not have so many different denominations. We would all do well to throw everything we once knew into the trash and start fresh from the ground up. Sift every doctrine through the scriptures. Not isolated verses. Read the whole books and letters in one sitting. You would be blessed. When you read always ask Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?

The kjv clearly says angels hearken unto the voice of Gods word. So when we speak his word angels move on our behalf , and demons hate the true word. They are tripped up by it, because it thwarts their plans. Even when a demon is being cast out of someone, I notice they tend to use thee, and thus. Why is that? Why don’t they quote the niv or the others? Because even they know the true word. Niv, and all that other crap doesn’t even register with demons. If i say get THEE behind me Satan. They understand the kjv better than we ever will on this side of heaven. Therefore- I don’t need anything except the Bible that the devil is attacking. The one you can hardly find now. The one that’s hidden in my heart, even before I got saved. The one that worked when I quoted when I got saved. The one that ran demons out of the Alzheimer’s nursing home when I read it 23 years ago. The one people lost their lives over to get it printed. The one without the witchcraft symbol like nkjv. The one that gave me peace when I quoted it at night when I could hear what sounded like demons knocking on my window. The one that nobody had a problem with 100 years ago, or even 50 years ago- and worked for our grand and great grandparents, the one that I remember easily even with a bad memory- that’s the one I’ll stick with till I die!
While I disagree with Mr. Wilson on the Byzantine family being more reliable, I find the other points he made to be quite compelling and ones I’ve not heard from a KJV only type.
1 Peter 1:23-25 KJV
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. [24] For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: [25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
The underlying Greek text of the AV KJV, is by far the superior underlying Greek text, being in agreement with the majority of copies ever made or discovered. The reliability of a copy should not be determined by its age, anymore than a witnesses testimony in a court of law should be determined by the age of the witness. Especially when that witness's testimony disagrees with the overabundance of the majority of witnesses, whose testimony harmonizes with one another's.
this is not right though. what do you mean by majority of copies ever made ? the Greek text the KJV is based on, called Textus Receptus, was compiled somewhere around the 16th or 17th century, and had as few as 6 manuscripts and as many as 40, from the sources i’ve heard. the earliest Greek manuscript the compilers of the Textus Receptus had access to was written in the 10th century 900ad, 800 years after the original was written. The new Greek compiled texts, mainly Nestle Aland and the UBS are compiled based on the now roughly 5000 manuscripts that we have access to, with the earliest dating back to only about 50 years after the original texts were written, as well as complete new testaments by the 4th century. I could understand if you were arguing for Byzantine manuscript superiority over the majority Alexandrian, and I think Syriac as well, manuscripts. but if you are saying that - assuming you are talking about the Greek compiled text called “Textus Receptus”- that the KJV is most accurate compared to the Textus Receptus - well of course it would be, since the KJV was written from the Textus Receptus. Otherwise, if you’re not using the Textus Receptus Greek text - are you comparing the newer Greek compiled texts to paraphrased translations such as the NIV and NLT, and then contrasting between the KJV? because if you are comparing paraphrase translations to the literal translation of the KJV, you are essentially comparing apples to oranges. The common argument for KJV-onlyists isn’t majority of manuscript and historical tradition, it is Byzantine manuscript superiority
also it isn’t the same as a witness’ testimony being determined by their age. What we are arguing for is the credibility of a witness based on the length of time from the incident and their relation to the incident relative to their position in time from the incident. So you would much rather prefer to have an early 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd account witness who was alive when the incident occurred, or is at the least second generation, rather than only have a witness who lived 800 years later and is going off of information that has been passed down 100s of times.
By all means, if all that we have is 800 years later and we can faithfully trust that account based on historical context, studies, and surrounding information, then it should be considered trustworthy, but if we have much earlier sources that are corroborated by commentaries from the same time period, then why should we deny them to their rightful place?
Can't wait to hear James White's take. I never heard of KJV being from a "better" manuscript tradition. Hopefully he goes into more detail about what this means in future videos.
I wondered about what he meant by that also - he kinda breezed by that one.
Check out the writings of John William Burgon, and literature from Trinitarian Bible Society. Burgon was a great textual scholar who opposed the errors of Westcott and Hort with their preference for defective manuscripts.
@@CornerTalker many thanks.
He did say that it was better in his opinion. I have done quite a bit of research and will say it is a extremely deep topic. Afterward I was convinced of the Byzantines reliability over the Alexandrian. But that is my opinion. For clarity, I'm not KJVO. I'd recommend that you do your own research as everyone has their own bias. Including me. God Bless!
AFAIK James White holds the opposing view (which I also hold because of him) that the current research collected manuscripts that were not available 1500 ac. I want to emphasize we all agree that KJV and nearly all of the current translations have the same message and that the differences are very specific and insignificant!
If you want ressources (and only if you want - this topic is NOT essential): The Video that convinced me was th-cam.com/video/pL0P6sH0cJM/w-d-xo.html . Mike Winger (proponent of modern translations) also has a Video about the 3 single passages in the NT with significant differences/uncertainties: th-cam.com/video/G0VE7f-CzOQ/w-d-xo.html
If someone has as in-depth-Ressources for KJV/TR, I would love to watch it some time :)
God bless you all :)
It just goes to show, you will never agree with someone about everything. TR is one of many we were blessed to have.
I agree with Doug Wilson. KJV is a different Bible from the others. Just compare the translations. I am not a KJV only. But believe it is the best English translation.
If it wasn’t for copyright laws, modern versions would look different. They did not choose the best words. They choose words that allowed the publishers to own copyrights.
And not for the best theological reasons st times either 😜

KJV for me just feels more authoritative and formal and meaningful. I think because I struggled with it so much as a kid while also having reverence for it.

that's like asking about Harry Potter authenticity
What about the Darby Translation?
Then comes their modernized Geneva Bible. What a cool church to be a part of.
The KJV is now, and always had been, under perpetual copyright in the UK. Cooyrights aren't a bad thing. And my choice of bible by far is the KJV.
COPYRIGHT means some human or humans are claiming credit for having inspired it of themselves.
Hence copyright royalties. (MONEY)
Did you know you can't write a book and quote over 250 words from any so called Bible other than the KJV without permission from those humans who inspired it?
I must cry out......
A copyright means someone has the demon inspired audacity to actually change God's Words here & there...
and still tell the world its....GODS Word.
They must not have read the warnings not to add to or take away from God's word, or simply dismissed these warnings.
Love my Schuyler Trevaris KJV! Thanks, Doug, for standing up for the better manuscripts! I agree: I would love to see a contemporary formal equivalence translation done from the TR with no copyright holder.
World English Bible. I think it’s the later mss and it for sure is public domain. The translators even volunteered to do the work.
I see your point, and it lines up with your philosophy of also wanting to return to imposing Christian law on non believers. That said, I disagree because the "church" in the public eye doesn't represent the true church of Christ. Just because the people that wrote the KJV identified as Christians doesn't mean we should give them any special treatment or authority in what they do. From the small research I have done I thought that the manuscript tradition for the KJV was weaker, but I still have a lot to learn on that element so I'll give it to you. I've been mostly studying from the ESV as of late, but I always like to compare versions whenever anything seems remotely unclear to make sure that I don't misinterpret based on translation alone.
The 3rd point is a great point. The WEB is actually a non-copyrighted modern and literal translation and I believe it's based on the same/similiar manuscript family as the KJV. The NET Bible is copyrighted but provided free
It still changes stuff.
The World English Bible is right up your alley. I think it uses majority text. Public domain. Translators donated their time I believe.
Why not NKJV ? It was also written off of the Textus Receptus. Doug isn't coming clean here.
@@1Sackettgirl if I remember the video correctly, he didn't like copyright and the business driven translations. The WEB doesn't have either "issue".

I personally think the comprehension factor of the KJV isn't worth the benefits Doug pointed out but that's just me.

I respect Doug greatly and follow his ministry and content he publishes. I will agree with his last point. It is too bad that our contemporary Bible translations are owned and controlled by corporate interests. My Bible translations of choice are the NASB 95, LSB NT 2021, ESV, CSB and of course the KJV. However I am a critical text advocate. I am not sure of the ownership/copyright status of the NET Bible. I have heard it is open and free and have heard otherwise from those I trust.
Pastor Wilson, For an updated KJV have you considered the KJ21???
This is earnest and sincere. But absolutely incorrect in a lot of ways. To say that newer versions are devoid of the church involvement and to imply it’s all corporations and corrupt has no basis. The NASB for example was absolutely formulated with an ecumenical, Christian run organization. Created by Christian scholars that are masters in Greek Hebrew and Aramaic.
We know more about ancient Hebrew and Greek today than they did in the 1600s.
King James had given directives on certain things. We know this so it’s kind of funny how newer Christian organizations are supposed to be more corrupted than literally a king/government directive?
To say that the manuscript tradition is more reliable is another blunder. Newer translations are again dealing with more information, higher scholars, more ecumenical, many more manuscripts and earlier manuscripts than the KJV.
No and I mean absolutely no doctrinal differences are found in kjv or any of the reliable newer versions.
I love the kjv, I was raised on it and still quote the kjv more often. But to say that you have to use it because the nasb2020 is lesser in any way, is absurd. If anything I trust its accuracy to the original Greek much more.
I call kjv "original intent", especially in this age of revisionist history. Before all of this revisionism to history, America went by the Geneva and Kjv Bible, as they were from the same manuscripts. Now, there is much more fracturing happening in the western church and everybody has a different translation. That's okay, but there needs to be where they go back to a word for word translation tether than a thought for thought translation.

I often use the English Study Bible which is a revision of the Authorized Version, known popularly as the King James Version. This revision was done with constant reference to the same Hebrew and Greek manuscripts that the translators of the KJV used. It sounds like it is what Doug Wilson is looking for. It is available for free as an app from Grace Ministries India. It was produced by the American missionary Bob Crow and his Indian colleague Jeevan Nair. It also available in Telegu. Other languages are in the works. Have a look.
Good points. I find myself feeling the same way. I do use the NKJV and MEV in supplemental fashion to the KJV in preaching. Would be curious to hear his opinion on the WEB.
Nov 2020 Edit: I've purchased and am reading the LSV, as well as the others, it's an update of the YLT, so far, I like it. Have to say, I'm using the KJV less in preaching and teaching

But when you hold our current translations up against the original texts, the KJV is not the most accurate. From my own studies and comparisons, I'd say the NASB ('95) comes out on top.

1 John 3:9 NASB 95
No one who is born of God (PRACTICES) sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:9 KJV/AKJV
Whosoever is born of God doth not (COMMIT) sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
So which type of " Born of God" man are YOU Mark?
A KJV type (like myself) who doesn't (COMMIT) the sin of murder, ever, or commit the sin of adultery, ever, or commit the sin ofraping women, ever, or bearing false witness, ever, or taking n forsaking women, ever, or commit the sin of molesting children, ever for examples. EVER.. etc.. (EVER) since the instant of my rebirth, 45 years ago.....
Or. .
An NASB95 type of allegedly born of God man, who doesn't (PRACTICE) the sin of murdering others,, or doesn't PRACTICE the sin of committing adultery, or doesn't PRACTICE the sin of raping women, or doesn't PRACTICE the sin of bearing false witness, or doesn't PRACTICE the sin of taking n forsaking women, or doesn't PRACTICE the sin of molesting children... etc...
Which kind of "born of God" man are YOU Mark?
A KJV kind? or An NASB-95 kind.
I'm a KJV type man, by the divine power of Jesus Christ within me.. with the same power that raised Christ from the dead quickening my mortal flesh over ever committing sin..
According to the KJV definition of what it means to COMMIT SIN. 1 John 3:4 KJV only.
How many rapes, murders, child molestations tips it over into actually (PRACTICING) sin..

I thought that the King James Bible came to be because of the rule of a king.......like maybe a certain King James.
Protestant King James the 1st authorized and financed scholars who knew Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, and other relative languages to compile the most accurate translation of the Holy Scriptures in an English translation for the common man in his kingdom. Back then the average Bible was chained to the pulpits of the local Church buildings. There were scarce copies back then and a lot were in Latin. The Catholics hated King James for that and because the King was Protestant. Roman Catholic Guy Fawkes tried to assassinate the King and his court by using barrels of gun powder below the floor of the King's court to blow them up. But he was caught and executed.
@@MegaGeorge1948 You have to understand the context of the times. A Bible was chained to the pulpit because, prior to the printing press, every Bible was produced by hand, usually by Monks. In addition most ordinary people could neither read or write. However, in 1582 an English version of the Bible was printed by The Catholic Church, called the Douay-Rheims version, which predates the Protestant King James which appeared in 1611. You're right about Guy Fawkes being caught and executed. Not that I condone his efforts but when it became clear that King James was not to grant Catholics any relief from the persecution of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I, this desperate plot was hatched. Nothing to do with Bible versions though.

With no freemasonic/ Jesuit shenanigans
The "Archaic" language is absolutely imperitive. Removal of the thee's, thou's, thine, ye's etc. Has completely changed meanings of entire passages. Christians really need to stop elevating men of intellect and simply trust their Bible. Is the Creator incapable of preserving His word in one complete book? Has he left it up to modern scholarship to give you absolute truth? Have you ever wondered how a Pastor can hold up a bible and proclaim that it is the infallible word of God while simultaneously there are other Pastors doing the same thing with a different version? There can only be one my dear brothers and sisters. Start at the beginning and follow the line of manuscripts, research greek philosophies that were corrupting the word of God and use your own discernment through prayer instead of listening to men like James White. His sole purpose is to turn people away from the KJB and I will not be convinced otherwise. It is painfully obvious that he trusts his own opinion above the King James Bible and that should be alarming to everyone, but for some reason it is not. Why is that? Has satan so marvelously casted doubt in the minds of the majority of professing believers. Doubt that they can actually hold and read the words of Almighty God?
2 Corinthians 2:17 KJV:
"For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God"
Corruption has always existed and continues to this day. The King James Bible is without one single error because it has not been corrupted. Just look at the fruits that came once the KJB was complete and now look at the state of the supposed church since they decided that the KJV was too hard to read, which is absolute nonsense. I actually barely graduated high school and I read and understand it. God bless
Amen and the NKJV is satanic.
Wow!!!
Now you, my brother, I'd LOVE to fellowship with. You have obviously NOT fallen for the Communist agenda.
Geneva Bible or nothing!😂
Because my KJV Bible tells me so! When you read the KJV only like these Biblically misguided and miseducated KJV-onlyist guys here you get to believe that "unicorns" exist as they are mentioned (that is, erroneously translated) in the KJV Bible! Read: Numbers 23:22; 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Job 39:9-12; Psalms 22:21; and Isaiah 34:7.
All I needed to read was 1 John 3:9-10 KJV
Just for starters...adding nothing, taking away nothing....and receive it into my heart.
Anytime I want to test for demons in others, I just read those two verses..word for word....
....and demons manifest in people to, in 10000 ways, war against the divine power over committing sin, EVER, Christ gives his true converts.
James White makes Christians deny Christ James white is a textural critic we shouldn't be criticizing the word of God we should believe in it the KJV that is all the other versions are perversions that leads you back to Rome and to hell
If god wrote a book wouldnt you want to read it in as close to the original as possible?
Could of simply just said 2 Samuel 21:19
I will never understand the KJV onlyism logic - if there is logic -
Three major reasons to choose KJV:
1. The familly of the manuscripts chosen by Erasmus.
i.e the Byzantine late corrupted manuscripts of which Erasmus didn't have but half a dozen!
you know that there is many differences between the TR of Erasmus and the Byzantine text?
2. The pholosophy!!
what ever he ment by it, it has no weight or value in textual critic.
3. The church, where is the church in the new english translations?
It is like hearing the Pope of Rome in the medivial ages.
The Jehova witnesses have a translation that you can consider as a work of the church - not the building we call church they don't have one - and you can see the bad infulence of the church in this translation.
Still who says that all the modern translations are made by atheists or non christians?
Short answer, there is no logic to it.
Assim como aqui no Brasil, eu percebo que nos Estados Unidos tem muita gente ignorante/incrédula. Defender texto crítico é coisa de humanista que se baseia no intelecto dos eruditos, ao invés das promessas do Senhor em preservar Sua Palavra.
Way more differences between Siniaticus and Vaticanus than between Byzantine MSS. Over 5k variations in the gospels ALONE.
