Is King James Version of the Bible right?

Answer 1

A:No version of The Bible can be more right than the Hebrew and Greek sources. So, when we see errors and contradictions in the Bible, they will be in all or most English translations. Even when scholars are agreed that generally accepted passages were not originally in the scriptures, they are allowed to remain, and the King James Version (KJV) was written long before these changes were identified.

As to whether the King James Version is a true copy of the sources, many Christians believe there is none better. This is not really true, first of all because when reading the King James Bible, we often come across words in italics. The italics were used whenever the translators were not sure of the correct meaning, or when they chose not to translate a word literally. In other cases, such as the four New Testament gospels, they changed some words in Mark, to harmonise with Matthew's version of the same account.

Answer 2

Well, it's not "wrong". There's probably no version that is perfect -- because Bibles that are translated from the original Hebrew and Greek are translated by humans, and humans make errors. The KJV has errors in punctuation and using some incorrectly translated words, etc. But, even though the KJV (and the other translations) have errors, the message of the Word is still inerrant.
