![Maybe It's About Time We TRUST THE (Original) PLAN [474x247 - 163KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/ZeIigw.png){kind=link}
I'd say the King James 1611 is perfect in the sense that it is a beautiful translation, highly accurate, and has been embraced for four centuries around the world. It's the Bible in English. All other translations are inferior to it. They may have a few verses that are more accurate to the Greek, but that doesn't mean they are more meaningful, or more beautiful, or more powerful. Most of the new translations I've read are lame, lame, lame. They sound terrible. The King James is Shakespearian English, and sounds beautiful to the ear. The words of the King James have power when spoken on the air. Speaking aloud a word is what makes it live. Scripture lives when vibrated on the air by the human voice, and nothing is more potent than the King James translation.
Why do we put our faith in man, who is mortal, fallible, fallen, weak, and pitiful? Even if the authenticity and intent of THE PLAN was legitimate and sincere, why should we abandon the promises of our Lord and Savior; who came to overcome the wiles of Satan and to bring remedy and hope to our fallen fate? Has any man besides our Lord - made manifest in the flesh, been able to resist Satan's temptations? The worldly plans of worldly man is too brittle for the requirements of a corner stone.
Does John not say, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."?
Be wary of all men who make promises unto you. May we not be like Esau, selling our inheritance to our brother Jacob, for a meager bowl of political porridge.
