REFORMATION BIBLES
The 1611 Fellowship discusses leading Bibles prior to the translation and publishing of the 1611 AKJB. We explore reasons why those Bibles are not in the same class as the 1611 AKJB.

I do not see the 1611 as the 1611 but just the only bible that has ever spoken directly to me and all witnesses agree.
I hear you, but unfortunately I have to constantly stress (especially with KJV 1769ers) the difference between their Bible and the real King James Bible. Fortunately, there is a small group of us that know the difference and why it is important.
You have spoken about dross being removed from silver which, for me, remains the best biblical analogy for the progression of the Reformation Bibles -- from Latin Vulgate translations to AKJV. But the historical record of these translations also reminds me of John the Baptist's statement "And thinke not to say within your selues, Wee haue Abraham to our father: For I say vnto you, that God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham." Matthew 3:9. The Catholic clergy claimed that they had "Abraham as their father", and their laity was spiritually as stones. But through the Reformation and their bibles culminating with the AKJV, they became children of Abraham (just as occurred when Our Lord came and brought forth children of Abraham from the stones who had previously followed the Pharisees.)
Nice analogy.
Amen!
