Rewind: Does the KJV introduce confusion?
7 views
Rapp Report Daily episode 9 With the introduction of the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, there is some today that claims it was inspired. However, if that were true then God introduced theological confusion with the invention of two new words; baptize and deacon. This podcast is a ministry of Striving for Eternity...

- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. As we've already seen in previous podcasts this week, that those who hold that the
- 00:50
- King James Version of 1611 was inspired have some serious problems. One of which being that because King James wanted one
- 00:58
- Bible for all of England, he brought together the Roman Catholic Church and the
- 01:03
- Protestants through an English translation that included the Apocrypha. Therefore, if the
- 01:08
- Bible was inspired in 1611, then the Bible includes the Apocrypha and the argument that many
- 01:15
- Protestants have against the Roman Catholics, well, that would fall flat. Is the King James Version the only
- 01:22
- Bible we should have? Well, we've already seen there were other earlier English translations, but let me give you two reasons why
- 01:29
- I think the King James Version of the Bible should not be seen as inspired, other than the fact that it includes the
- 01:35
- Apocrypha. And that is that I do not believe that God is a God of confusion. What do I mean? When we had the
- 01:41
- English translation, we had two words that were transliterated, not translated.
- 01:48
- What does that mean? Well, simply put, we had the word baptismo and deaconos.
- 01:53
- We have two perfectly good English words for both of them. Baptismo means to dip or plunge.
- 02:00
- Deaconos means to be a waiter of tables. Why did we have to create new English words? Well, because if we translated the word baptismo into dip or plunge, we wouldn't be allowing the sprinkling that the
- 02:11
- Anglican Church did. And if we use the word deaconos as a servant, well, then we can't use them as leaders like they were.
