Guest Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 There are many, and each likely slanted in favor of authors’ bias. I can only offer some small tidbits of information based on my research. I’m certain many will claim I’m a heretic or blasphemer for saying any of this... From a scriptural point of view, the KJV has a number of translation discrepancies that I’ve found, some significant. Some were caused by King James due to his beliefs and arrogance. For instance, the book of James should be called “Jacob,” but the King actually wanted his name in the Bible as well as on its title page so he “convinced” the translators to retitle it after his name. Regarding his personal life, rather than reading a book just about him, I studied what others mentioned in writings and various records. That said, he was often cautioned about his close relationships with other men but didn’t seem to care. There is much more to who he was, but just those two generalities caused me to not regard him or His commissioning of a bible that bears his name to be legitimate. Too many people pay blind homage to him merely because his name appears on a bible. No KJV reader would ever begin to believe there is anything negative in the history of King James or his personal bible translation... My apologies to you or anyone if this is offensive, but truth is truth. Good luck in your quest for knowledge and wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard some similarities from others who have studied the history. I was hoping that maybe there were references to him, personally. My inquires are because I seek the Truth.
