The King James Only movement has almost grown to a cult status. The movement teaches that the 1611 King James Version of the Holy Bible is the only God ordained translation of the scriptures. I have read numerous writings by their members and it seems they are worshiping the translation instead of God.
First of all, I would like to say that the KJV is an excellent translation. I would like to repeat that again, because some people read that I am criticizing the KJV and didn't absorb what I stated first. Again, the KJV is an EXCELLENT translation. However, it is not the only good translation available.
King James I of England came to power after a very uncertain religious period in England's history. The division between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants had separated the kingdom during the Tudor reign. King Henry VIII had proclaimed himself head of the Church and alienated his kingdom from Rome, but the kingdom was still very much divided between Luther and the papacy. James I hoped to unite his kingdom with a new Bible translation.
In 1611 the King's translation was introduced and authorized by the King. It was called the Authorized Version. The Tyndale Bible was already in use and the AV, as with any new translation, took some time to catch on. Keep in mind here, the King merely ordered the Latin scriptures translated for political reasons. The men that actually preformed the translation where the most qualified men for the job at the time. The result was an excellent translation into the King's language from the Latin. The original autographs, which are not available, where written in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.
Today we have more translations of the Bible than you could smite with a staff. Most of the modern translations have the benefit of being translated from older manuscripts than the Latin Vulgate that was used in the KJV. Some of the translations are excellent and some are not. The NIV, NASB, NKJV, and ESV are examples of excellent translations in todays English. Since we no longer speak the King's English the KJV can be very confusing for new comers. God is not the author of confusion, and the Gospel is intend to be taught all over the world. Therefore it is the duty of Christian scholars to bing the Holy Scriptures to the people in a language they can read and understand.
If anyone tells you that the KJV is the only path to Heaven, then they are teaching a different Jesus than is taught in the KJV. If you don't have any trouble reading and understanding Shakespeare, then you won't have any trouble with the KJV. Otherwise, the NIV, NASB, or ESV are easy to read and clearly lay out a plan of salvation through mercy, faith, and the Blood of Jesus Christ.
John, the KU4ME that reads the NASB.
