thoughts on the KJ21?

I don't get it....there has to be a catch. They didn't even change "thee" or "thou" or "ye"....

Proverbs 1:1 was nearly unrecognizable though, although the rest was somewhat close.

Did they translate it from the originals, or from the KJV?

It's amazing that the KJB has so obviously been blessed of God and used mightily for nearly 4 centuries now yet so many want to claim the KJB is flawed and needs replacing.

The very fact of the blessed success of the KJB coupled with the fact that so many are against it today should serve as a witness to the fact the KJB is the Word of God!

While I understand one's consternation; I would say that it is hypocritical to degrade this particular KJV version IF one allows their Pastor or others to explain (by using various newer words) the meaning of those old English words using the same method, but doing so verbally. I don't see what is the substantial difference; even Peter Ruckman corrects (whoops he would call it explains) the KJV when what he is preaching on calls for it.

The difference between a pastor trying to explain a passage to make sure everyone understands and actually changing scripture is that the pastor is giving his view of the passage as he believes it to mean but he may or may not be right. Change the actual wording of scripture to make it "clearer" and you have actually made a change to the bible if you are mistaken in what you think it means. It is a different thing all together.
