Biblical Hebrew Forum

KJBO = King James Bible Only
My experience with such folk is that if there is a discrepancy between the 
King James Version and the Hebrew or Greek (whether text or grammar), then 
the Hebrew or Greek is wrong. God inspired the Authorized Version translators 
on the same level as the original authors. Further, only the 1611 AD version 
of the Authorized Version is the Word of God. We have such folk by the bushel 
in Oklahoma and Arkansas sporting bumper stickers that read "1611= Word of 
God". These are fundamentalists of the most characatured stripe. There is a 
whole publishing industry devoted to this topic, both pro and con. This could 
be interesting.
