How ironic! It would actually be hilarious were it not for the fact that we are dealing with the most important book in the world. So then the most “Inerrant” English Bible translation, according to the KJV-only fundamentalists, is actually the most changed and revised version on the market. There have even been “updates” (more revisions) of some of the revised versions of the King James Version, the New American Standard Version being an example. Revised Authorised Version (RAV) (British edition of the NKJV) The Literal Translation of the Holy Bible (LITV) (formerly named King James II) King James Version II (KJII) (renamed to Literal Translation of the Holy Bible) Few people realize that all these Bible Versions listed below are nothing more than revisions of the original 1611 King James Version However, in recent times, in additions to changes being made in the text, even the very name of the Bible has changed. Many people do not realize how many times the King James Bible has been changed in some form or another. (23) undated, 'Fool' Bible, Psalm 14:1, 'The fool hath said in his heart there is a God' instead of 'there is no God.' 66:9, 'not cease to bring to birth' instead of 'not cause to bring forth.' 24:61, 'Rebekah arose, and her camels' instead of 'damsels.' 13:43, 'ears to ear' instead of 'to hear.' 47:10, 'the fishes shall stand' instead of 'fishers.' 4:29, 'to remain' inserted instead of a comma. (16) 1804, 'Lions' Bible, (1 Kings 7:19, 'out of thy lions' instead of 'loins.'

5:21, 'I discharge' instead of 'I charge.' (14) 1801, 'Murderers' Bible, (Jude 1:16, 'murderers' used instead of 'murmurers.' 22:34, Philip denies Jesus instead of Peter. (11) 1717, 'Vinegar' Bible, (Luke 20, 'parable of the Vinegar' instead of 'Vineyard.' 57:12, 'shall profit' instead of 'shall not profit.') (7) 1653, 'Unrighteous' or Field's Bible, (1 Cor. (2) 1611, Great 'She' Bible, (Ruth 3:15), 'and she went into the city.') (1) 1611, Great 'He' Bible, (Ruth 3:15, 'and he went into the city.')

Below is a list of some of the more humorous blunders contained in KJV printings. It came to be known as the “Judas Bible.” Many other such errors occurred throughout the printing of the King James Version over the centuries. One 1611 printing contained “and he went into the city” in Ruth 3:15 while another 1611 had “and she went into the city.” Another 1611 printing had “Judas” for “Jesus” in Mat. A careful review KJV Bibles with the date 1611 on them revealed they were not all identical. The very first year the “Authorized” Version (KJV) was printed, it went through several quick changes due to errors.

If it’s “Inerrant” to begin with, why all the modifications and revisions? The answer if obvious – the King James Bible is FAR from inerrant. I discovered that the people who were perpetuating the King James “Inerrant Bible” myth were actually promoting perhaps the most corrupt, inaccurate and error-filled translation of all of them! Furthermore, it has had more revisions by far than any other translation. But eventually, I was freed from their influence and decided to do some extensive research into Bible translations myself. They believed other translations were inspired of Satan, the “Alexandrian cult,” and the Roman Catholic Church. They believed the King James Bible was the only one Christians should use because it was inspired of God and without errors.
