1611 King James Bible

It's in a Museum in England.From what I was told in the YouTube videos is the name of Jesus is Iesus in it .

A bunch of the words and verses are translated wrong so our bible isn't even the same bible.

28 of the books have been left out including the Apocrypha.


There are Masonic Free Masonry pictures on the old bible with secret symbols.

All that being said why do Christians believe they are reading the right bible?

There was no J in Latin or Greek (there still isn't in Greek, Jacob is Iakovos, Jerome is Hieronomos). Later on the Latin I became stylized into a J. Names like Julius or Jesus were rendered as Iulius and Iesus. However, the KJV followed the Latin convention. Italian still has no J except in words of non-Italian origin.

Not all Christians do. The KJV is not the de-facto bible of all Christendom, just as Prabhupada's Bhagavad Gita is not the de-facto version of all Hinduism. The RCC has its own sanctioned version of the bible, as does the EOC.

seems good.


Thing is, the kjv was written in a time where the methodology of reading, the religious aspect, was probably assumed.

Nowadays, there are people who have never read the bible, etc, just picking up a bible

I'm not sure just what your question is.

Nothing strange there. At the time I was both a vowel and a consonant.
To save confusion the I consnant was later changed into a J. This had not yet happened at the time the KJV was written. The long and short S were still both in use then, so many S's were written more like an f.
The KJV had nothing what so ever to do with masonry. It was written by scholars selected by the Church of England bishops, on behalf of the King

Apart for correcting a few minor errors it is the same now as it was then.
A vast majority of modern bibles are a reworking of the KJV, taking into account modern scholorship, and lanuage. But few have the KJV's beauty of language. As it was writter to be read out loud in church.

There are a number of the first editions of the KJV in libraries cathederals and museums through out the world. There are known to be around 200 still in existance.

I'm not sure about the state of this actual Bible, but my father was still learning Latin in school to read the Bible/understand mass. They didn't change this until 1962 at the Second Vatican Council. and I am quite glad I was born much later. :D

You are correct in the fact that Latin doesn't always directly translate into English, and in many ways it is a more expressive language. However, I would say why stop at Latin? The old testament Bible was certainly a mixture of Hebrew or Aramaic, and the new testament was surely mostly Greek (which was then the lingua franca of learning...). Latin was basically the common tongue at the time that the NT comes around, but Greek was the language of scholars and kings. The Bible was mostly privy to the upper echelon of society at the time (whether clergy, king, or nobleman of other sorts), and the commoners never used or heard Latin outside of mass. For the most part, and this was even true in my fathers time, lay person affiliated with the church had no idea what the priest was saying. :D There were, however, English language Bibles for the normal folks to read going back since forever. It is more likely your Bible there was used in some official capacity...

Though Christians themselves do it, it is probably an error to look for the original documents as a basis of a faith that exists in the modern age because all living religions periodically revise themselves over time. What they were doing two-thousand years in the past isn't particularly important these days. If we used that logic and applied it to all fields science, religion, and anything else would be "garbage" because they were all drastically incorrect (in respect to a modern understanding of the world) and we would reject everything. Mostly, this sort of thinking is revisionist in that it is looking to use the past to destroy the present - it is either dishonest, or malicious in intent with no productive purpose.

I actually disagree with those of you who say there's only a few mistakes.

The videos I saw and there wouldn't be videos about this if it wasn't a big is that there are so many mistakes and differences it's not the same bible.

So the question is what is the true bible.Sense there were 28 books including the Apocrypha left out :
It was frankly a huge big deal to me.why don't Christians read those books ?

Because the Protestant Church left them out. The Protestant Church used the Jewish Biblical canon, which did not include those books. The Roman and Orthodox Churches used a different canon to the Jews, and this canon included those books. The KJB sandwiched them in the middle but prefaced them with a disclaimer saying that they are not fit to make doctrine from.

It isn't that one can't read them. Many KJV have those books but we see them as historical in nature but lacks the qualities to be included as scripture.

Anyone know which books were left out?

This statement implies that it usnt just apocrypha
Any book that violates the principles laid forth by the Torah, the words of the prophets and the words of the Apostles. There are other reasons such as when then were written. So, contrary to some beliefs, the Book of Enoch was not the Enoch of Genesis and thus, along with what was written that violates other scriptures... it wasn't included.

Likewise for many others.

It seems that we call all of that "apocrypha"
