And then somebody said, what are your thoughts on the King James 21st century or the easy
to read King James?
You know, I, I, I don't trust these because it seems like whenever somebody pulls one
of these out, I can't really speak to these in particular because I haven't gone over
them with a fine tooth comb.
Seems like whenever people try to update the King James and modernize the language, that
there's always something squirrely that they do.
And it's just, ain't nobody got time to go through the whole thing and figure out what
they changed.
You know, the King James is reliable because we've had 400 years to look at it with a microscope.
And so we know that it's right.
It stood the test of time.
It's tried and true.
But as if something new comes out, you know, easy to read King James 21st century, King
James, in theory, if it actually didn't change any meanings, then I would say it's fine.
You know, if it, if it just modernized the language and pastor Jimenez said the same
thing in new world order Bible versions, people act like pastor Anderson's change in his view
on the King James pastor, he minutes stood up in new world order Bible versions in 2014
and said, Hey, if all the new King James did was just only update the language, then there'd
be no issue.
We wouldn't even care.
We wouldn't even be talking about it.
You remember that?
Yeah.
Hey, and can you blame us for having trust issues on them messing with the Bible?
When you think about all of these other versions that are out there, did you met?
Oh yeah, no.
I still do it right this time.
You know, I got a bridge to sell you when it comes to that.
Not worth it to start messing with it.
Because the thing is, you know, you, the people that are updating the language, they might
just think they're updating the language and they might accidentally change something because
they're not an expert in Greek.
They're not an expert in Hebrew.
Maybe they're not even an expert in English or the English of 1611.
They could inadvertently introduce error.
And so the King James ain't broke, so don't fix it.
Just leave it the way it is.
It's fine.
Now here's the thing, 200 years from now or something, 500 years from now, if the language
changes dramatically and it gets to where people can't understand the King James anymore,
then you're going to have to update it lest we be like Catholics or something, you know,
doing it in Latin when everybody speaks Spanish.
You know, once Latin had turned into a totally different language, Spanish, you got to translate
it into Spanish.
So 500 years from now, if our current English, you know, is not even close to the King James,
then you'd have to update it at that point.
Okay.
But it may never get to that point because the, first of all, Christ may return before
that, or it seems like technology has possibly kind of locked in the language a little more,
so it's not really changing much because you know what I'm saying?
Like English isn't changing as rapidly as it used to.
So the King James will probably do us all the way until Jesus comes.
But I mean, what do you think about that?
Yeah, I obviously agree with you.
I personally don't believe we'll get that far.
You know, I, I'm not saying he, I'm not saying that, and I'm not saying that Jesus is going
to come back in our day, but you know, I, I, I more so believe you will, you know, like
I'm just in that impression, like, Hey, you know, it's going to happen in my lifetime.
And that's the way I live, you know, like thinking, Hey, it's going to be in my day.
I'm going to live that way.
But I, yeah.
But I agree with you, obviously, if our language is deteriorated to the point where, you know,
no one speaks it, or it's just so foreign, you know, to what the King James is and you'd
have to change it, but.
