KJV not good compared to modern translations

1.    The NT was originally written in Greek. Whenever I compare KJV to NIV, the Greek always agrees with NIV better than KJV.

2.    King James was insane and had some strange theology. The translators had to please him or be punished.

3.    King James killed and persecuted Christians that did not share his beliefs. The Pilgrims left England (1620) due to religious persecution against them about the same time the KJV was translated (1611). The people who translated the KJV hated Christians who didn’t share their incorrect beliefs.

4.    KJV calls Holy Spirit “it.” Not true at all.

5.    Many historians believe King James was gay. The word homosexual is never found in the KJV and is soft on homosexuality in most places.

6.    They did not have copy machines, therefore did not have access to many ancient texts in 1611. The original texts were in different locations around the world. We can make copies today and scholars can study all of them together to ensure accuracy, they could not then. As a result, some verses were added in to the KJV which should not have been.

7.    Many of the words from 1611 have completely different meaning today than they did then which causes people to misunderstand certain verses.

8.    The KJV is too difficult for most to understand unless they grew up with it

9.    Some manuscripts have been found after the KJV was translated, so they didn’t have them when the KJV was translated. This means the KJV had less material to use.

10. There was an English translation of the Bible already in existence, the Geneva translation. King James did not like it because it had commentary in it that disrespected the pope. Since he was the pope of the Anglican church of England, he wanted that translation destroyed.
