Welcome to the new, unfinished modern language King James Bible. Note the "alpha" and "beta". Alpha is an in-house test, beta is a public test. If you find any errors; misspellings, missing quote marks, grammer errors, please email publish@mcgrewbooks.com. If I make a change as a result of your email, you will get a bound book I've written, your choice of book, or hardcover or soft cover as long as my supplies last.
From 1611 until the early 1970s, the King James Bible (KJV) was the only Christian Bible (although there were earlier English language Bibles), and several groups of people decided separately that the old KJV is too hard to read for modern readers. Even though I’ve read hundreds of old books, some passages are hard for me.
But all of the new versions have two huge problems: None of them match what the KJV says; One of them says, in the ten commandments, “do not lie.” That’s not what KJV says, it says “thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor”. It says “do not slander”, not lie.
The second is worst: all the other Bibles are under copyright; their words are owned by men who worship money. They will sue if you publish their Bibles.
This Bible is under copyright, but you are free to share it any way you wish, even selling copies, but you must share the entire Bible with no changes whatever. Unlike the other Bibles, its copyright will expire 95 years after I die. The others continually change theirs periodically, claiming they made mistakes, but they’re really in it for the money. You can’t serve both God and money.
This is obviously a work in progress. Where progress ends, there will be a link to the traditional KJV where you left off here.
