The KJV is not perfect by no means, but I'll take it, warts and all, thee's and thou's included, over one of such questionable origins as Westcott and Hort, arising in such a melange as listed above. The KJV is fine if that speaks to you the best but I believe that a little research would show you that more recent translations are not based on the translations of Westcott and Hort. Even if what you said were true, the fact that some bad things were happening in England at the same time Westcott and Hort were alive means absolutely nothing. You might as well say that Ronald Reagan is a bad person because Hitler, Mao, and Stalin all lived during the same century that he did. Besides, 19th century England and Scotland was also the birthplace of the modern missionary movement and I don't think that you can argue against that.

You remind me the Democrats, Dallas. You may be conservative politically, I would think so, most on this board are, I sure am, but when it comes to the scripture, you are a liberal, I'm a conservative.
I don't know about cheese, but when it comes to butter, I'll take real butter, thank you. Don't care for margarine.
