apparently the NIV committees' goals outdo the intent of the KJV's--they want ppl to actually understand the WoG rather than pack a hefty volume (to/from) somewherejt: Then why did they make it basically more difficult to understand; the KJV is understood at a lower grade levelthan the NIV.also, the linguistic heyday of the KJV affected George Washington more than George Bush--obviously his modern audiences who long ago abandoned King J aren't necessarily liberal, they merely speak the current language of the modern worldjt: And in the current language of the modern world God is old fashioned and irrelevant because they are taught to take care of themselves.this means that one reason Kevin's SPs must confine themselves to preachg in SLC rather than (e.g.) in Bush's DC is that street level Mormons, unlike the ppl in downtown DC, traffic in 19th c. Shakespearean linguistics and the modified code/s in their 'KJVs'jt: There are SP's in DC along with every other "nut" You see everything on the streets of Washington D.C.in sum, outside of 'the history of English lit class' and the antiquated pre19th c. world view of ppl like the Mormons, current KJV-only mindsets are evangelically irrelevantjt: Not to those who earnestly seek to understand the mind and the ways of God rather than to enhance theirown religious reputation and image.On Sun, 20 Feb 2005 13:25:21 -0800 (PST) Kevin Deegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:[KJ] wanted the Bible in the hands of the common man
