The translation work of the KJV was a monument to "King James" and not King Jesus. Have you ever read the "Epistle Dedicatory" to "Your Majesty, the Most Dread Sovereign" the head of the church of England at the first page of the KJV? Look it up sometime. Talk about male ego bias with a side of alpha dog. That Dedicatory is simply pathetic.
The KJV became known as the "authorized" version. Authorized by who? God? Of course not! Authorized by the hot-headed King of England! For nearly 3 centuries the British monarchy prevented better and more accurate translations, and
not tied to the Textus Receptus.
Did you know that the translators added a word to I Cor 13.5 "
love is not easily provoked," with King James in mind. Who knows how many more verses were influenced by ole King James!?!
