I really didn't want to get involved in this, but Connie that is a ridiculous statement. How is not wanting to change the written Word's of God studied by true believers for over 400 years humanistic compared with those that want to change the word of God to fit their own needs. as in wanting words changed so that they personally can understand it better without having to take a little extra time in study? or maybe so that it flows better for them. We have so many changes based on every whim of man that we now have what over 90 English translations of the Bible? I'm not sure how many we have, corrections on my number are welcomed. Those that prefer "street language" now have "word of the street" Those that are new age have the message......it goes on and on. All based on the preference of man. The goal of the KJB translators was to have an English translation as close to the original languages as possible. It was not based on their personal wants. and if we prefer to change the Words now it is based on our personal wants.
