So the men who wrote it down in their original tongues were heretics? Because those texts say different things than the 1611 does.
Edit: I'd like to clarify this. The KJV is translated in such a way as to be lyric. It was meant not just to be a translation of the words, but to be a work of art in literature. As such some of the connotations of the words are lost. In the parts I've read the original connotations of the words imply or state that the translation in the KJV was not accurate. There are countless works that talk about mistranslations, but I have only read parts in Greek and the largest problems I saw were those of lost context and connotation.
