You still haven't offered us anything. You just attack. You quote a KJV only website and try to make a case against the kjv?? Sadly, you don't even know what you're defending or why.

It is NOT a KJV-Only website. It is a website which tells the truth about the absurdity that is KJV-Onlyism.

Actually, it was Bacon who was responsible for the King James Bible. Few know of Francis Bacon’s connection with the Bible. The King James Version of the Bible was a revision of William Tyndale’s translation of the Greek and Hebrew texts (i.e., the Geneva and Bishop’s Bibles) by committees of scholars appointed by Bacon, and revised by him while serving as Solicitor General to the royal court. Bacon was the greatest intellect of his time. Besides his contribution to the revision of the English Bible stands his works on science, philosophy, history, law and literature. There is even considerable scholarship that would attribute the works of Shakespeare to his hand. The language of these works is a form of literary expression that Francis Bacon invented and perfected in his Essays that were written (and revised) contemporaneous in time, and which express his ideas in his unmistakable writing style throughout. While the authorship of Shakespeare is subject to dispute, one can say with confidence that the King James Version of the Bible is one of the great works of English literature because Francis Bacon made it so.

Default Now that's an original thought!

It amazes me that so many people who call Christ Lord are unable to ask themselves the same question, and answer God's request for trust and faith with a hearty, "Yes, Lord."
Good post.
