Amen. Psalm 12:6-7 KJV — The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

[preacherman]

6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 
Proverbs 12
Praise the Lord!
Holy, holy, holy! 🥺

Amen. Really our God is Awesome...How Great is the Lord.

The history of the King James Bible is very fascinating. To witness how God worked. Also what is more fascinating is to understand why he worked this way.
God is the Original Autographer and he is very much alive and eternal. So the words of God have never been lost or cease to exist because God is the Word or words.
It seems that God wants us to want it, to seek and persue him and his words. Mankind runs into trouble because they seek through the flesh like Cain did.

Erasmus was rebuked by Luther in the bondage of the will and called him a heretic because he taught the Arminiunst view of man's Free will for salvation. In fact Luther said that he was revising an old heresy called pelagianism.

Was there no power and authority in Gods word until the King James Translation? How can it be said that the King James has the same authority as the original documents as we do not have them to compare? These are genuine questions.
God bless

The HOLY SPIRIT GUIDED THESE MEN TO TRANSLATE AND KEEP HIS WORD PURE

[evelyny]

So my question is when the seven different works were articulated, I only got five before it said the last one was the king James at number seven. So I’m wondering if the Bezos fifth edition was number one? I’m sorry that I am not very well-versed in all of this and I’m trying to put things together. I appreciate any help you could give me in this effort.

And Luther refutes Erasmus' view on free will in "The Bondage of the Will" so perfectly that we're STILL waiting for a reply after 500 years:
LUTHER ON FREE WILL
Sect. 45.—"DO you see, friend Erasmus, that by this definition, you (though unwittingly I presume, ) betray yourself, and make it manifest that you either know nothing of these things whatever, or that, without any consideration, and in a mere air of contempt, you write upon the subject, not knowing what you say nor whereof you affirm? And as I said before, you say less about, and attribute more to "Free-will, " than all others put together; for you do not describe the whole of "Free-will, " and yet you assign unto it all things. The opinion of the Sophists, or at least of the father of them, Peter Lombard, is far more tolerable: he says, '"Free-will" is the faculty of discerning, and then choosing also good, if with grace, but evil if grace be wanting.' He plainly agrees in sentiment with Augustine, that '"Freewill, " of its own power, cannot do any thing but fall, nor avail unto any thing but to sin.' Wherefore Augustine also, Book ii., against Julian, calls "Free-will" 'under bondage, ' rather than 'free.'—But you make the power of "Free-will" equal in both respects: that it can, by its own power, without grace, both apply itself unto good, and turn itself from evil. For you do not imagine how much you assign unto it, by this pronoun itself, and by itself, when you say 'can apply itself:' for you utterly exclude the Holy Spirit with all His power, as a thing superfluous and unnecessary. Your definition, therefore, is condemnable even by the Sophists; who, were they not so blinded by hatred and fury against me, would be enraged at your book rather than at mine. But now, as your intent is to oppose Luther, all that you say is holy and catholic, even though you speak against both yourself and them. So great is the patience of holy men!"

Didn't he also reject or have great doubts about the Trinity like Letis says?

[Roterodami]

Erasmus learned himself old greek in order to read the original writings of the evangelists

[rikimez]

As a Catholic i am very thankful for Erasmus. A great man and speaks to how you should work to improve your institution not separate from it. He supported some of the reformers but absolutely did not want there to be a split in the Church.

Does the KJV research council, research the fact that James hired the team of scholars with the explicit edict to alter God's Word in order to reinforce his divine right to rule, and to squash all public opposition to his tyrannical monarchy? That's why so many verses were outright changed without explanation, which is blasphemy and treason to God, all to appease a power obsessed man, with an "authorized" version he endorsed. By the way, there were already half a dozen other beautiful, accurate, well read English translations prior to this artificial superfluous forgery being government sponsored, like something straight out of Orwell's writings. The KJV is an objectively provable perversion of the manuscripts, and a literal state-orchestrated psyop to quell the citizenry from uprising.

The KJV is, in truth and fact, a perfect case study in what happens when men make private interpretations on Scripture, wresting it to suit their earthly sinful agenda. It is a synthetic antichrist work of manmade polluted corruption, and certifies in a multitude of verses just how unholy and contaminated it is when compared to the Geneva Bible and others, that were ACTUALLY translated with a heart for God, and strict adherence to transliteral Koine and Hebrew to English.
