What is it with all this barfy language?
The answer to "Is The King James Version The Only Perfect Translation
Of The Bible?" is:
There is *NO* "perfect translation" of *ANY* text from one language
to another; it is not possible.
Idioms get lost and/or mangled.
References to things or events that are local and/or recent AT THAT
TIME are gibberished even more.
Concepts known and understood due to the culture AT THAT TIME also get
mangled or worse.
Hell, even the Muslim concept "Allah is with me" gets mangled by the
Muslims, to the extreme that "it is OK to kill oneself for
excuse>" on the "theory" that dead or alive, "Allah is with me".
Well, that statement is true, but....
In Roman Catholic terms, it is a mortal sin to kill oneself; it is
even worse than to kill another.
So, while one states that blah blah is right, and another states that
blah blah is wrong, remember: both are right and both are wrong - at the
same time and on occasion on the same exact point(s).

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
There is no way to translate modern German to modern English.
But, the KJV is the greatest piece of English literature ever Witten,
whether accurate or not.

Probably it's not putting enough cash in the collection plate.
