Re: Come to a Book Burning
One problem with the King James version is in its use of italics. When that version was first written italics were used for questionable or uncertain translations whereas in today's English italics are used in order to stress a subject. So that now we have a lot of people who are stressing questionable words which were never certain in the first place. The "Old Testament" is merely a translation of all the books of the Hebrews which were compiled by the Jewish elders in Alexandria, Egypt and translated into Greek before the time of Christ. There were also other works which were not included in the "official" compilation which were also translated and/or originally written in Greek and are in a lot of Bibles such as what the Catholics use. The Orthodox also have a few other books too. And about the "New Testament"? Well, I guess I can't know everything. The "Gospel of Q" might actually be the better book to read along with the "Gospel of Thomas".
