The video provided fascinating insights into the translation process of the King James Bible. I found it particularly interesting to learn that contrary to popular belief, King James himself did not directly control the specific translation choices. Instead, he issued general guidelines for the translators to follow. The video's emphasis on the substantial influence of William Tyndale's earlier translation, with around 75% of the Old Testament and 84% of the New Testament mirroring Tyndale's work, confirms my understanding of Tyndale's pioneering role in making the Scriptures accessible to the English-speaking public. Additionally, the flexibility the translators had in interpreting King James' instructions, as evidenced by the inclusion of over 7,000 margin notes, aligns with my belief that the final product balanced royal guidance and scholarly integrity. Overall, this video provided a valuable and insightful look into the fascinating history behind the creation of the King James Bible.

The Vatican translated the bible from the sumerian cuneiform tablets which predates the bible by thousands of years, Emuna Elish 7 tablets of creation, Epic of Gilgamesh ( the original flood story) Emerald tablets of Thoth, Lost book of Enki, Atra Hasis and other ancient tablets

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for watching and engaging! It’s interesting to delve into the connections between ancient texts and the Bible. While it’s true that many ancient civilizations, including the Sumerians, have texts that predate the Bible, it’s important to clarify a few points. The Bible was NOT translated from Sumerian cuneiform tablets. Ancient texts like the Enuma Elish, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and others certainly provide fascinating parallels and cultural context to biblical stories, suggest that the biblical authors were aware of these storieS we see one such example explicitly in the encounter between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Contrary to your belief, the Bible is a very distinct set of texts with its own theological messages and purposes.

Those stones in which you think proves anything does not because the free Masons came across tablets with cartoon type stories the are noticeably similar to the bible. Or they very likely have made these tablets themselves. After all data carbon testing is controlled complete by the free Masons and the way they come up with dates is to have a date In mind and cherry pick the one that fits their story. So that is proof no history we have had correct dates on anything.

I've noticed God first gives his word to the world. At the time that was to Adam and Eve. Then the devil came along to twist his words. Then with the invention of the printing press was the first time God's word went to the world and that was the KJV. Is this a coincidence I think not? TC

Blessing and thank you for watching and engaging. Your thoughts are intriguing but might I add some key facts? Before the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible was printed in 1611, other notable Bibles were printed long before including the FIRST BIBLE PRINTED the Gutenberg Bible in 1455, the Tyndale Bible in 1526, the Coverdale Bible in 1535, the Matthew Bible in 1537, the Great Bible in 1539, the Geneva Bible in 1560, and the Bishops' Bible in 1568.

[@abubenadem]

Anyone with a modicum of common sense or actual knowledge of, would realize that King James himself didn’t translate the KJV! Plus it’s known that he commissioned the work! Yet despite those things I’m to understand that at least two changes were made, so as not to inflame the King! One was the word TYRANT, because the king was considered one by many, the other had to do with the church(I forget), sure both didn’t really have a significant impact on the understanding of scripture but they were changes, something which some believe could never happen! Furthermore it must be evident that with the passage of time and discoveries over the centuries as well as deeper understanding of the Hebrew language, that there are mistranslations of words! Let me direct you to the 5thKind with Paul Wallis and UsefulCharts, both channels have interesting and informative content! All in all this was revealing for me! Now things I supposed are now made clearer!

[@gclmedia]

Thank you so much for watch and engaging! I appreciate you! May I add that there is just a tad bit more nuance…The 1560 Geneva Bible, was the first and only to use the word “tyrant” to describe oppressive rulers. King James wasn’t born until June 19, 1566 (6 years after the Geneva was published) and he didn’t become King until 1603. That’s 43 years. 🤔So it definitely was not a direct slight to KJ. Earlier translations, such as the Wycliffe Bible (late 14th century) and the Tyndale Bible (early 16th century), typically used terms like “king,” “ruler,” or “prince” without the explicitly negative connotation carried by “tyrant.”

I would rather read the Ethiopian Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls... The way the King James and the Gideon Bibles are written gives me a headache... Psalms are the only ones that read in a linear format...

[@gclmedia]

The language and style of the King James Bible and Gideon Bibles can be challenging, due to the use of early 17th century English, which can “feel” quite different from modern usage. For many would be Bible Readers, this can be a barrier to understanding and enjoying the text. But, thankfully I have videos that can help with that like “How to Understand the Language of the Bible: KJV Words Decoded” 👉🏾 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZDFaJKleK-kmLM Psalms are indeed structured in a way that seem much more straightforward and poetic, and seemingly easier to read. But the Psalms are prophetic, and packed with hidden features that get completely overlooked. If you prefer a more modern phrasing, you might find translations like the New International Version (NIV) or the New Living Translation (NLT) more approachable. Both strive to balance readability with faithfulness to the original texts.

Dearly beloved, I'd just like to share that the word "Church" was never the original ecclesiastical word used in the original manuscripts but rather it was congregation. The word Church comes from the word circe/kirke, which is a name for a goddess of sorcery (pharmakeia) who was skilled in the magic of transmutation, illusion and necromancy, and which the Bible clearly forbids. I also do not buy into the notion the 1611 we are presented with is the original, as there are so many inaccuracies, corruption and discrepancies. First one that stands out is the finding King James IV and I of Scotland was a black man of Jacobite blood. This doesn't match up with the European image presented to us in the first pages of the 1611 KJV bible.

Blessing and thank you for watching and engaging. Although the words circe/kirke may appear to be similar to "cirice," using the English Alphabet but they are NOT! Completely different etymology. The English word "church" comes from the Old English "cirice," which is derived from the Greek word "kuriakē," meaning "of the Lord." This term has no connection to the goddess from Greek mythology associated with sorcery Circe (Kirke). While the Bible does forbid sorcery and related practices, this has absolutely no bearing on the etymology of the word "church."

I noticed that the KJV changed the translation in the Gospel of Mark. In the Septuagint, which is still the oldest translation, the naked young man with Jesus who ran away when the Romans arrested Jesus is an incorrect translation because the Septuagint says that it was a “naked little boy” 🧒 and not a naked young man 🤮

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for watching and engaging. It’s important for me to respond to your comment to ensure clarity. The Greek word translated as “young man” in Mark 14:51-52 is νεανίσκος (neaniskos), which typically describes a male in his youth, usually under forty. If the text were referring to a “little boy,” such as Jesus at 12 years old, the term used would be παῖς (pais). This term, found in Luke 2:44, is closely related to παιδίον (paidion) and can mean “child” or “boy.” It would be misleading to claim that the Septuagint states “Little Boy” in this context, as it uses the term νεανίσκος (neaniskos).

The word "Bible" in Latin is "Biblia," which is derived from the Greek word "βιβλία" (biblía), meaning "books" or "scrolls." As Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire, the Greek "βιβλία" (biblía) was adopted into Latin and then entered Old English as "bībel" or "bīble," exclusively referring to the sacred Christian scriptures. The transition from "Biblia" to "Bible" demonstrates the nuanced linguistic evolution and the influence of Latin on the development of English.

Sir, you are grossly ignorant...the King James Bible is a version...based on the Douay Rheims version of 1609 which in turn was translated from the Latin Vulgate of the Jerome's translation right up to the 16th - 17th Century.

[@gclmedia]

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify some important points regarding the history and origins of the King James Bible (KJV). Contrary to your claim, the KJV was not based on the Douay-Rheims Bible. The Douay-Rheims Bible an English translation of the Latin Vulgate made by Catholic scholars. Instead, the KJV was translated directly from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts with the base of the Bishop's Bible by wåy of the Tyndale. Specifically, the translators of the KJV primarily used the Masoretic Text for the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus for the New Testament, ensuring they worked from the original languages rather than Latin texts. St. Jerome directly translated the Vulgate, St. Jerome's translation of the Bible into Latin, into the Douay-Rheims Bible in 1609. However, this Catholic translation is distinct from the King James Bible and is not its source. A large and diverse committee of scholars produced the KJV, cross-checking and reviewing each other's work to ensure accuracy and faithfulness to the original texts. This rigorous process helped to establish its lasting reputation. Despite being contemporaneous, the Douay-Rheims Bible and the King James Bible translated from different source texts, representing distinct traditions within the Christian faith. The KJV's reliance on Hebrew and Greek manuscripts differentiates it from the Douay-Rheims, which was a translation from St. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate. It was a significant work in its own right and became the standard Bible of the Western Christian Church for many centuries. However, the KJV translators aimed to return to the earliest available texts in their original languages rather than relying on the Latin Vulgate. I hope this helps clarify the origins and sources of the King James Bible. Thank you for engaging in this discussion.

Wow...you can truly lie to the world about everything. Come now sir, is there any truth left in America! Africa reels under your American pagan lies and deception. Our children in Africa have lost their identity thanks to America. Enough now....I used to be a member of the IBS (International Bible Society translation committee), and a former Bishop of the Anglican church (Episopalian Church in America) excommunicated because I refused to accept their erroneous doctrines any longer and their LGBTQAI+ movement coming from your country...wow, in the land of the blind the one eyed is king! We are not ignorant in Africa no sir, just sick and tired of the continual lies and deception....I share this with you dear sir, no bitterness from my side just enough is enough don't you think?

It's true. I've heard that some parts of the KJV were taken from Douay Rheims. This is recorded history. You can google it for more info.
