Errors in the King James Bible, part 4

Errors in the King James Bible, part 4.

“Then we have the issue of verses which have been omitted entirely from various translations,” explained, the Reverend J.A. Layman, evangelist with Sterling Ministries, before The Lay School faculty here in Clinton, Tennessee. “The Septuagint alone has omitted dozens if not hundreds of verses or portions thereof compared to not only the King James Version, but most of the others in our study. And while it may be, by all of our accounts, the worst offender in this regard, it is hardly alone, as many of the other fifteen translations/versions in our study also omit words, phrase, or verses. On the flip side of this issue, what about those translations/versions that ADD words or phrases to the received text? Is not this also in some way an ‘error’, or, at least a ‘DIFFERENCE’ that needs to be identified and considered in our study?”

“And then there is the issue that the Septuagint raises in the book of Jeremiah, an issue that, in our first reading and color-coding of that book in the Septuagint, was overlooked at first: the FACT that the chapters are arranged in a different order than that of the King James Version, and, therefore, the received text! Shall we assert that each and every instance of this is an ‘ERROR’?”
