The first and fourteenth, because they directly relate to the subject at hand, are here given in full: &quot;1. The ordinary Bible read in the Church, commonly called the Bishops Bible, to be followed, and as little altered as the Truth of the original will permit.&quot; &quot;14. These translations to be used when they agree better with the Text than the Bishops Bible: Tindoll's, Matthews, Coverdale's, Whitchurch's, Geneva.&quot; And thus we have our answer. The seven English versions that make the English Bibles up to and including the Authorized Version fit the description in Psalm 12:6 of the words of the Lord being &quot;purified seven times&quot; are Tyndale's, Matthew's, Coverdale's, the Great Bible (printed by Whitechurch, and also called Cranmer's Bible), the Geneva Bible, the Bishops' Bible, and the King James Bible.&quot;</span></span></span></p> <p style='margin:0cm;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;font-variant-numeric: inherit;font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit;font-variant-position: inherit;font-stretch: inherit; line-height:inherit;font-optical-sizing: inherit;font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit;font-variation-settings: inherit;orphans: 2; widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing: 0px'><span class=apple-style-span><b style='font-style:inherit;font-variant: inherit;font-stretch: inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit;font-feature-settings: inherit;font-variation-settings: inherit'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:black'><span style='font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch: inherit; line-height:inherit;font-optical-sizing: inherit;font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit;font-variation-settings: inherit'>Note</span></b></span><span class=apple-style-span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family: "inherit",serif;color:black'>: I used to think that Wycliffe's Bible of 1395 should be on this list, but it was translated from the Latin and not the Hebrew and Greek texts.

God's Word in ENGLISH is the King James Bible & and isn't it interesting that number seven is ENGLISH!!!<br> <br> When the translators of the King James Bible did their work beginning in 1604, they used Hebrew and Greek (and Latin) for their translating. But they were also provided with something else to assist them in their labors. Several other English translations of the Bible had been produced before the King James Bible of 1611 became the mainstay for 400 years. When the King James translators sat at their desks to do their translation work they were also provided with some of those previous translations. In fact the translators had loose-leaf copies of each of the following:<br> 1. Tyndale s translation (1525)<br> 2. The Coverdale Bible (1535)<br> 3. The Matthews Bible (1537)<br> 4.

During the next 158 years, the' English language, therefore, underwent rapid changes. Each time there was a plateau established, a new edition of the King James Bible was published to bring the spelling and punctuation in line with it.

Some won't.&nbsp; Gary Lehman, who himself is an &quot;only the originals&quot; type of bible agnostic originally posted this as the subject of the thread -<br> <br> &quot;Dr. Gipp says there was no perfect word before 1611. Huh?&quot;<br> <br> Here is the blatant hypocrisy right off the bat. Gary Lehman is mocking the idea that there was no perfect Bible before 1611. That much should be clear even to our bible agnostic friends.&nbsp; However, Gary L himself does not believe there was a perfect Bible before 1611 EITHER!&nbsp; Just ask him to tell you the name of a perfect Bible that existed before 1611. He can't and won't. Remember, he's an &quot;originals only&quot; type of guy and the originals not only never all existed together at any point in history, but they also never made up a Bible consisting of 66 books in a single volume.<br> <br> But wait a minute, not only is this true of our &quot;originals only&quot; friend Gary L, but it is ALSO true of all the mockers that came in afterwards to give us their shots from the peanut gallery.&nbsp; This would be other fine and upstanding members of the Bible Agnostics Anonymous Club like John Beavers, Strumpeto, and our beloved Princess Molly.&nbsp; NOT ONE of these people believes there was a perfect Bible before 1611 EITHER!&nbsp; In fact, not one of them believes there is a perfect Bible NOW!<br> <br> Though I do not agree with Sam Gipp on everything, and I'm am sure not every KJB believer agrees with me either, but at least we King James Bible believers DO agree on this one very important thing - God has given us a complete and perfect Bible NOW and it has a winning track record of over 400 years and it the ONLY Bible believed by thousands today to be the very words of the living God.<br> <br> The Bible Babble Buffet promoters and Bible agnostics have NOTHING to give you but the own hypocritical mockery.&nbsp; Think about it.</span></p> <p style='margin:0cm;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;font-variant-numeric: inherit;font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: inherit;font-variant-position: normal;font-stretch: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit;font-kerning: inherit;font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit;orphans: 2;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing:0px'><span class=apple-style-span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#3C3A3A'><span style='font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch: inherit; line-height:inherit;font-optical-sizing: inherit;font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit;font-variation-settings: inherit'>&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <h6 style='margin:0cm;background:white;vertical-align:baseline;font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;font-variant-numeric: inherit;font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit;font-variant-position: inherit;font-stretch: inherit; line-height:inherit;font-optical-sizing: inherit;font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit;font-variation-settings: inherit;orphans: 2; widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing: 0px' data-ft="{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;msg&quot;}"><span style='font-style:inherit; font-variant:inherit;font-stretch: inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit;font-kerning: inherit;font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit'><span class=apple-style-span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:black; font-weight:normal'><span style='font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit; font-weight:inherit;font-stretch: inherit;line-height:inherit;font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit;font-feature-settings: inherit;font-variation-settings: inherit'>Return to Articles -&nbsp;</span></span><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:black;font-weight: normal'><a href="https://brandplucked.com/kjbarticles.htm"><span lang=EN-US>http://brandplucked.com/kjbarticles.htm</span></a></span></span></span></span></h6> <p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>&nbsp;</span></p> </div> </body> </html>
