Bible King James
King James Bible readers-By what Authority was King James Authorized to commission a Bible?
He was not a Holy Man, nor Ordained, nor Divinely inspired by God. King James was a King, a Head of State.
By that reasoning a George Bush or Barack Obama Bible would also be the word of God, right?
By virtue of being “King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith” as the dedication states. He headed up the Church of England and provided licenses and money for the translations (from the original languages) into the English language of the day. We all know how language moves on, don’t we? The last English translation had been the Bishop’s Bible in 1568, so a new translation 73 years later was not amiss. Language moves on after 73 years.
You are entirely correct about this man’s less-than-spiritual aspects. But do not get yourself into a state of apoplexy. The man did not translate a single word of this Bible. That work was done by a bevy of Hebrew and Greek scholars. Because the King authorised the work, the new Bible of 1611 was appointed to be read in churches. That’s what the King’s stamp of authority accomplished. That is why it is best called the Authorised Version, and not The King James Version, as some less particular people say. The Bible is the word of God because God inspired the original writers to write it. Translation work has to be done if people all over the world are to get copies in their native tongue. Or would you insist we all stick to the original languages of ancient Hebrew and koine Greek, or Latin? I think not!
