That's a great song!! God bless

[thekingdomcomedotcom]

@BibleVerities -- thanks. I've been listening to your songs too. Great stuff!!

[Rhuanjl]

Confused by King James being credited with the first translation. Tyndale translated it far before then in the time of Henry the 8th, and died for doing so.

[thekingdomcomedotcom]

@Rhuanjl -- certainly the KJV as an English translation came much later, 1611 whereas the Geneva came 1560 at least, and Wycliffe's NT even earlier. Thanks Rhuanjl.

[thekingdomcomedotcom]

Yep, that's the tune.

[kjvonly01]

God Bless Tyndale, and King James, and Queen Mary was a creep.

William Tyndale translated the New testament into English in 1525.

In fact many of the scholars today believe that such is the case with Joan Bridgman who makes the comment in the Contemporary Review "He[Tyndale] is the mainly unrecognised translator of the most influential book in the world. Although the Authorised King James Version is ostensibly the production of a learned committee of churchmen, it is mostly cribbed from Tyndale with some reworking of his translation."

[ArmorOfGodMinistries]

This is good, but people don't be deceived, King James was no Christian man, he was an evil politician like them all. Also, the Geneva Bible was in 1560 one of the first ones in English!

[teologen]

A lot of bull here. There were english translations before Wycliffe. And King James wasn't exactly a protestant in a modern sense; he was an Anglican Catholic...

[BenAliGtor]

An oversimplification, to say the least.

AMEN!

@Imaginefree69 I certainly respect your opinion. If I am wrong and you are right I will never know it. On the other hand if I am right some day you may have to face the fact that you missed the whole purpose of life. I believe I have lived a life that has helped others, shown kindness, and yes honored my Creator. It has not been a bad life at all! I am genuinely happy. Much of what science said fifty years ago is not true today. Be careful not to put too much faith in science.

[Imaginefree69]

@pjohnstonsr " Its a matter of faith" Right. That's what you have to use when the thing you choose to believe is contrary to nature, reason, and the data. There's simply no purpose to be served in continuing this conversation. There is no evidence or fact I can show you that will make the slightest difference to your belief. Religion begins with a conclusion and seeks data to support it. Science follows the data to a truthful conclusion. Adios, pj.
