@ s c: If you'll kindly, carefully re-read my comment, you'll notice that I did not say that the KJV is incomprehensible. In fact, to say that I did is a total misrepresentation. I said that it's unreasonable to expect sixth graders today to keep up with an ever-evolving English language to the extent that they understand exactly how the language worked 400 years ago.As I said, that's like trying to ask 17th century children to interpret an ancient book from the 1200s, expecting them to comprehend it. It's ludicrous to make that argument. Sure, the KJV has parts that aren't too different from modern English. But then there are passages where we're told that an army "fetched a compass." What's any 6th grader today going to think of that expression? That a group of people picked up a magnetic device that displays directional angles. But that makes no sense, since compasses did not exist at that time. In fact, one might argue (with argumentation methods similar to your faulty argumentation) that a young person's faith in the inerrancy of Scripture could be faltered by such a misunderstanding. In reality, however, all that passage would be saying is that an army turned around, did a 180 degree turn. But is any average modern reader going to understand it that way? No. Langu |
