The King James Version is stupid

Without further ado, I will begin arguments. Arguments:Contention One: The King James Version is archaicThis is fairly self explanatory. As I mentioned in Round 1, the King James Version was translated in the 17th century. That's a while ago, and if you try to read the King James version you'll find the English is quite outdated. In addition, the King James version was translated from inferior Greek manuscripts. 'The translators appear to have otherwise made no first-hand study of ancient manuscript sources, even those that – like the Codex Bezae – would have been readily available to them. ' - WikipediaThe King James version was translated from the Textus Receptus, which is widely acknowledged as a complete disaster. It was translated by Erasmus, and was somewhat rushed and as a consequence is absolutely riddled with typographical errors [3]. Contention Two: The King James Version is wrong about the DeuterocanonA quote from this [1] source:"The apocrypha is a selection of books which were published in the original 1611 King James Bible. These apocryphal books were positioned between the Old and New Testament (it also contained maps and geneologies). The apocrypha was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A. D. A portion of these books were called deuterocanonical books by some entities, such as the Catholic church. "Either the Deuterocanonical books are inspired, or they're not. If they're inspired, the King James Version erred in putting them in their own section and unjustly seperating them from the rest of the Old Testament. If they're not inspired, the King James Version erred in including them at all in the first place. While claims have been made that even if the Deuterocanon is not inspired it is still profitable for reading, it would blatantly wrong to put uninspired writings in if they were actually uninspired. It might be profitable to read my random musings on life, the universe, and everything, but I hardly think that would justify my inserting 'The Epistle of AlwaysMoreThanYou' into a translation of the Bible. Contention Three: FlawsWhile translation errors are not unique to the King James Version by any means, it makes some errors that are particularly egregious and not found in most modern translations. 'And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. ' - 2 Samuel 29:19 (KJV) The problem with this verse is that the underlined portion does not appear in the Hebrew at all [2]. Therefore, it is a complete interpolation. 'For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. ' - Hebrews 4:8 (KJV)This is translated as 'Joshua' in almost every other translation. 'He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. ' - Genesis 10:9 (KJV)This implies that Nimrod and God were pals, which couldn't have been less true. 'If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ' - Luke 14:26 (KJV)So Jesus said that you must love your neighbor as yourself, yet you cannot be his disciple unless you hate your family? 'Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. ' - 1 Corinthians 7:19 (KJV)This doesn't make too much sense. I would also like to humbly submit my theory that the KJV translators had a unicorn fetish. 'His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. ' - Deuteronomy 33:17 (KVJ)'Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? ' - Job 39:9-10 (KJV) 'He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. ' - Psalms 29:6 (KJV)'And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. ' - Isaiah 34:7 (KJV)Conclusion:While the King James version doesn't exactly deserved to be burned, it is a fairly poor and outdated translation.
