The king James version was written by a committee of 9 leading clergy of the time. The Christian Standard Bible was compiled in a similiar fashion. They themselves commissioned the gathering of stories then voted on what were to be put into the bible. I highly doubt anyone here speaks Hebrew. This is afterall, according to what i see, an English speaking forum. I don't give Atheists a bad name. People who pretend to be Atheists and speak without being truly informed do that already. Example, people who try to get churches removed from neighborhoods. Religion or any belief system in a deity doesn't offend me nor effects me. I rank all modern deity beliefs into the same categories as viking lore, greek mythology and so forth. In case why you are wondering I haven't flew back at you with a rant, rave or a just all around exchange of insults, the answer is easy. I'm an adult and make little time for such things. I view the time responding to you as a waste in fact as well. Have a good day.
The KJV is a translation. The people who produced it did not ‘write the Bible’, nor did they vote on what would be included.
If you want to say the Bible is rubbish, I’m on your side. But trotting out historical errors isn’t going to help the case for atheists.

Books don't write themselves lad nor, do they mysteriously just appear. Someone has to write them. Even copies. I already know these things.
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)]The idea was proposed at a conference of scholars at Hampton Court by a Puritan, John Rainolds, the seventh President of Corpus Christi College during the reign of King James. King james then had the bible rewritten after a conference to decide what would go in the new bible. I never said the King James version was the original book. I said it was a collection of stories that had been gathered and voted on to go into the King James version. This is historical fact, not an inaccuracy. Unless you think the Royal Archives in London are wrong. I never said the King James Version was the original bible. Like every other book, it's a "version" of long told stories handed down through the ages.[/color]
