I like the KJV too (although I like Tyndale more).
But I just don’t feel tempted to attend this pastor’s (and what a nice touch to be interviewed in his overalls) barbeque – even with the promise of meeting most of his 14 church members.
You see, I’ve never done [and never plan to do] the Fahrenheit 451 thing – too many bad memories.

I've never quite understood why some Fundamentalist sects believe that the KJV is more God's word than any other translation. I know they understand that it's a translation from Hebrew and Greek. Most can't appreciate the poetic beauty of a seventeenth-century text, and surely they wouldn't approve of something translated by committee, created for the Church of England, and authorized by a bisexual king and adulterer. So why is it so near and dear to their hearts?
ReplyDeleteOh my.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope they're using the New Cambridge Paragraph Bible rather than some Satan-spawned pseudo-authentic burnin'-worthy post-1611 edition of the King James!
I myself am almost convinced, however, that fried chicken with all the fixin's covereth a multitude of sins.
