Is the KJV the most accurate translation of the Holy Scriptures?

[2timothy316]

There are those that think that the King Jame Version of the Bible is the most accurate Bible translation there is. Many have placed their whole dogma on this belief. What evidence is there that it is or it is not the most accurate translation?

In the 1611 KJV Acts 12:4 says, "And when hee had apprehended him, hee put him in prison, and deliuered him to foure quaternions of souldiers to keepe him, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people."

Here it says that people where celebrating Easter. Is this one of the errors in the KJV?

None of these scriptures are proof that Matthew 6:26 can't be taken exactly as it is written. There is no reason to add or take away from it. Jesus said look at the birds and see how well they are taken care of and how much more My Heavenly Father loves me than them. What else is there to explain? There is no 'dark secret' in this scripture. If there is I'd like to see you squirm trying to explain it. It is clear that we can observe the world around us for spiritual truth and these scriptures you quoted do not nullify the scriptures I quoted.

There is no 'dark secret' that we need to you explain. The Bible explains the parable. That is what 2 Timothy 3:16 means. ALL scripture is inspired and not just the ones you cherry pick.

Ok, well, at least I tried. At this point t we're just repeating ourselves and uts best not to. The information is there, should you choose to examine it against the scriptures and bring up any error I presented using the scriptures. Thanks for the dialogue.

Thanks for admitting you have no argument. The error is not the scriptures, the error is that you don't trust them when you read them. But I guess you were taught to do so. Sad. When you decide when you're ready to believe what you read without the rose tinted glasses of your dogma then let's continue.

I don’t believe any English translation is perfect. It’s why I use an Interlinear and lexicons.

That said, I trust the NKJV above all.

Regarding the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, it is a widely respected document translation with a significant historical and literary impact. However, it is not without its limitations and potential inaccuracies. Since its publication in 1611, our understanding of ancient languages, textual criticism, and biblical scholarship has advanced significantly. More recent translations benefit from access to older manuscripts and improved linguistic understanding.

The specific verse you mentioned, Acts 12:4, includes the word "Easter" in the KJV, which has raised questions and concerns among biblical scholars. The word "Easter" is derived from the Old English word "Ēastre," which refers to a pagan festival celebrating the spring equinox. This translation choice is considered by many scholars to be an error or a mistranslation.

The original Greek word used in this verse is "πάσχα" (Pascha), which is commonly translated as "Passover" in other Bible versions. The majority of scholars and translators agree that "Passover" is a more accurate rendering in this context, as the events described in Acts 12:4 occurred during the Jewish feast of Passover, not the Christian celebration of Easter.

Yes, that is one of the errors, and there are many more.

John 1:1
John 8:58
Philippians 2:6
Romans 1:20
Hebrews 1:8
Titus 2:13
IPeter 3:18,19
Revelation 1:8

I could go on, but perhaps these suffice.
