- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, Daily Edition, where we provide a quick Biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. There are some people who are under the assumption that the
- 00:18
- KJV, King James Version of the Bible in 1611, was inspired by God.
- 00:25
- If those who believe that listen to this podcast, they may be upset with me.
- 00:31
- But the King James Version of the Bible, in the original edition that was begun in 1604 and completed in 1611, contained the 39
- 00:41
- Old Testament books and the 27 New Testament books. But for those who believe it was inspired, well get ready, you're going to support the
- 00:50
- Roman Catholic Church. Because yes, they also included the 14 books known as the
- 00:56
- Apocrypha. These books were included in the original printing of the
- 01:01
- King James Version. The history behind that, we're going to look at tomorrow. When we look at why it is that King James decided to commission a printing of the
- 01:13
- English Bible. Because that reason has much to do with why the
- 01:18
- King James Version included the Apocrypha. The 1611 edition of the
- 01:24
- King James Bible is actually one that we would not be able to read today. Because its
- 01:29
- English is so different. And it also was not the last edition. It went through a major rewrite in 1769.
- 01:38
- And if you look at many of your authorized King James Bibles, that's right, because it's not the original
- 01:43
- King James. It's been changed quite a bit. Most translations you look at today are back from 1980.
