And the King James is even better still, having been translated to English from Greek by a German man
What? That's not true at all. It was translated by a committee of English scholars and clergy. It is also a landmark of literature and history that contains some of the finest English ever written.
- godDLL 17y agoOoh, look, I am being wrong on the Internet. I am now ashamed to have remembered this incorrectly. Thank you for pointing out my error, I'll be sure to double check things I have only passing familiarity thereof in the future. But you could have provided a link, like this one: http://www.av1611.org/kjv/kjvhist.html http://www.av1611.org/kjv/kjvhist.html EDIT: I'm not being sarcastic up there. I'm being sarcastic below here. EDIT: and the historical/literary value remark is just plain balls. "And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months." If that's not balls I don't know what is.
