Some Christians worry about the translation of the Bible they use. Thus, they try to become experts in the history of the version they use, the theology of the men who translated it and then, get involved in the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts they are based on.
I was recently taken to task on a forum claiming to be for free and sovereign grace for stating my views on translations of the Bible as set forth in my Brief Comments on the King James Version.
In the 2nd Article of the
Statement of Principles we find the following: “The King James
Version is the preferred English Translation.” Just because it is
the “preferred” translation doesn't mean it is the only
translation. We are not of those who loudly proclaim themselves to
be “King James Only,” We certainly are not of those who claim
that any English translation of the Bible is inspired.
