"How many mistakes are there in the King James Bible?"
Where do I begin? Every single page is a lie. Every single verse is horseshit. The biggest mistake would be to believe any of it.
But then, you are an idiot.
I don't understand while they feel such an urge to defend something that obviously is going to suffer errors from mistranslations. I think they 'rationalise' the whole debacle on the translators being 'infallible'.
One has to look at this through context and indeed whether certain people had axes to grind.
Explanation: Goddiddit.
Fixed.
For more amusement and some explanation go there and click on the next question. That really IS fundamentalism in a nutshell.
Loosely goes like this:
Q: "What if I find a contradiction that can't be explained"
Explanation: "If we knew all the answers we'd be God. Obviously there will be things you don't understand. I mean, are you God? Well, are you? No. And neither are any of the people who point out contradictions in the Bible. So they should all just go away because we know it all works out in God's mind."
So in other words if you come across something really difficult just ignore it and carry on doing what all the bits you understand tell you.
Or the question after next (I paraphrase):
Q: Couldn't there be contradictions in the bible ater all?
A: No, that would contradict the bible.
Explanation: We don't actually understand it, and a lot of us fundies are so ignorant of history that we think the KJV is the "original" anyhow, and thinkin bout stuf makez our hed all hurtie, so we pretend the problem doesn't exist.
Madness - also, more accurate translations make it clearer that the whole thing's a mess, but don't necessarily support some of their weirder beliefs. Therefore they'd rather keep the Bible bafflingly obscure but sounding pretty.
It must be easy to get a degree in theology, considering his answers.
Read the bible -> You get your degree.
None? Yeah, right. Hell, most of the words in it don't even mean now what they meant when it was translated. You may as well be reading it in Middle English for all the good your translation is doing you, unless you happen to be a scholar of the English language which, I'm going to guess, you are not.
Jefferson said that the bible is a big heap of shit. It has a few kernels of humanist wisdom attributable to Jesus, but otherwise it's shit.
You can call me Herr Doktor Professor von Grigadil. I have rediscovered how to repudiate every page of the idiot god's book. [I'm indulging in massive meaningless ego-stroking like Sammy here.]
Have you ever read it objectively, as you would read any other book? I have found hundreds of "mistakes," errors, and contradictions contained therein. Unfortunately, you are so brainwashed that you choose to believe all of them.
@ Yama
These are taken out of context, but still:
"I got a good feeling!"
"Though there are many possible ways, 'Bridge' made it into one. This is a serious matter."
"It's impossible to describe 'horror'. But one may be able to know it if one tells it quietly..."
In addition to other similarly awkward quotes, many words are mistranslated throughout the game ("rich" instead of "lich" [the undead sorceror thing], "bracelet" instead of "breath," etc.)
FFIV's original translation, though not amazing, was really just stilted and dull. FFT's was downright confusing at times.
Chick - that says it all. Hi chick, how's your ancient Greek? How's your Hebrew and Aramaic? Canst th*u speak Elizabethan English? Cannst thu sprec Englisc?
If you cannot answer yes to these then kindly shut up. You are unable to form any kind of informed opinion on the KJV.
Unicorns are real?
Numbers 23:22, 24:3, Deuteronomy 33:17, Job 39:9, 29, Psalm 22:21, 29:6, 92:10, and Isaiah 34:7
"KJV is mai waifu" award?

More like Revelations: Persona (the original one, not the PSP remake) was better translated than the Bible.
QUESTION: How many points are in Samuel's I.Q.?
ANSWER: None.
EXPLANATION: None.
Confused?
