::If you can find a verse which has a dramatically different meaning in the KJV and our translation, please, point it out. We have in no way undermined the foundation of scripture, but rather made the meaning more clear. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 23:48, 24 December 2009 (EST)

The problem with sticking only to the KJV forever is two-fold. First, liberal culture has the effect of changing the meaning of words used in the KJV, such as "comrade", thereby leaving the reader with a mistaken understanding. English language changes over time, and a translation frozen in time will depart from the original intent as the meaning of language shifts.

Second, with each new year there are few people who can or will understand 1611 English. It's like Shakespeare, and it becomes increasingly more difficult for the average person to understand. With each new year fewer and fewer people use the KJV, and liberals delight in filling the void. Should we let that happen? I wouldn't mind if everyone stuck with the KJV, but people are drifting away from the KJV and I don't see that changing.

There is also another consideration: Isaac Newton described how beneficial it is to participate in translating the Bible rather than simply reading it. Ministers apparently feel likewise, studying the original Greek. Should that benefit of participating in translation be shared with the public?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:13, 25 December 2009 (EST)
