King James Bible: The Most Reliable Translation?

It’s official, no one else should be allowed to conduct an interview until they’ve watched Sean multiple times. He is hands down the best interviewer I’ve seen, and he continues to prove that. Also, the exchange regarding placing Christ and His Sacrifice, the Gospel, at the center of our Faith, rather than a translation (or preacher or tradition, etc) was FANTASTIC! Tim your response was so beautifully thought through, every Christian should hear it and really soak it in. Thank you both. God Bless!

This gentleman had the opportunity to overreact and hold on to bitterness, but instead he speaks with love and honor towards those with whom he disagrees. Praise God! That in itself is a godly witness. Thank you and God bless you, good sir!

When the 1611 KJV committees disagreed on a translation, the other translation was often put into the margin. Those marginal readings have mostly been deleted, even though the editor (Miles Smith) stated that the marginal readings were as likely correct as the reading put into the text. Both were considered essential.

What a great interview; so informative and done with grace and truth.

Absolutely a joy of an interview!! Thank you both.

I loved Timothy’s very winsome presentation. Thank you both for this interesting conversation!

Great interview. Thanks Timothy for all your doing.

I use the KJV for clarity. The "thee/thou" "ye/you" is immensely helpful for determining who is being spoken to: the person or the group.

Great stuff! Enjoyed this conversation. Thanks Gentlemen!

There's a difference between viewing the King James Version as the BEST vs King James only.

Sean, all your presentations are impressive, and I always learn something. You manner and tone is top notch, always.

Thank you for this! This happened to me and I ended up in Word of Faith for 11 years. Praise the Lord Jesus brought me out and realigned me with His true gospel! 💕

The English speaking churches all owe a great debt of gratitude to the KJV in its origins and to its legacy, but it should never become enshrined as the only reliable translation. One can extol its beauty, brilliance, and majesty while still noting the inevitable changes in language and the ways in which it comes up short as a translation even on its own terms. One can also note the mixed blessing that some modern translations are and the appalling inadequacy of a few terrible translations without idolizing the KJV.

The KJV bibles should have the preface to the reader compulsory because the translators stated that all the previous translations are the word of God and even the meanest translation is the word of God. Furthermore they stated it was not their intention to make a new translation but to make a new translation better.

Hello Thanks for posting this video. I have some questions, if that's okay. 1. Which denomination are you sympathetic with, and why? 2. What Bible dictionary would you recomend? 3. What Bible commentary would you suggest. Respectfully Thomas

Loved this program!!!!! I was raised on KJV, I learned all of my scripture from it. It has been my Bible for 50 years. But I use other other translations all the time. Thank you for this discussion.

This was fascinating. I learned more than I ever thought I would about the King James Bible.

I find it hard to comprehend the devotion to a single translation. I definitely have some issues with certain modern translations but ultimately I understand that all translations are ultimately written by human beings and influenced by them in some way. I would suggest to everyone that they examine multiple translations when studying the Bible and decide for themselves which translations they prefer.

I watched the whole interview and am so impressed by Timothy's study findings, the questions you asked. The info in the last several minutes is what I was looking for. I have the KJV, NKJV, NIV, and NLT Bibles and have an appreciation for them all. God bless you two gentlemen for this wonderful information.

Thanks AGAIN! So Good, and Useful Post! I felt it was Very VERY Interesting, a very informative!
