We must first realize that the King James Bible is the only translation of The Bible into English straight directly from the textas receptas(the recieved texts of the Bible in the original languages). All the others like the NIV, NKJV, NAV etc...were all taken from the KJV and added to, compermised or twisted in some way to "accomadate" this "new evangelical church movment" and its fallowers that are emerging. From the textas receptas the thealogians, philosaphers, and pastors translated it into English for the first time. Then it went threw a purification process were seven times(was fortold in the Bible) it was re written to be sure that it matched up with the original but just in a different language. The seventh of course was the KJV. Psalmal 12:6 KJV
