The Authorised Version of the holy scriptures, commonly known as the Authorized King James Version or KJV, is the word of God and the glory of the English language. For almost 400 years it has led multitudes to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and a whole new life in him and his word. The King James Bible has spread across the world reaching mankind generation after generation. It has saved, comforted, exhorted, rebuked, admonished, warned, enlightened, and edified without ceasing.

King James VI & I, founding monarch of Great Britain, not only commanded the translation of the Authorised Version but he actually took an active role in developing the rules for translators and encouraging the completion of the work. The King's College website states,

The development of the Bible in English differs from that of other European vernacular translations. Only England has an "authorised version", issued under the auspices of a king who was also the head of the Church. The vernacular Bible was illegal in England long before the Reformation and so began its development at a great disadvantage, but once England became a Protestant country the translated Bible became a symbol of state.

The Authorised (British spelling) Version of the holy scriptures, commonly known as the Authorized King James Version or KJV, is the word of God and the glory of the English language.

King James boldly testified of his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and was very concerned about the spiritual well being of his realm. Unbeknownst to many, James I was as much of a reformer as Martin Luther was. This is easily seen when one peruses his Workes, published in 1616. Find out more about King James VI & I at this link.By divine providence, the King James Bible is still available to the true church today but, unfortunately, a plethora of modern perversions of the scriptures have sprouted forth from the earth like a field of so many tares. Men of corrupt minds have developed and sold many of these scurrilous productions that they call Bibles. Notwithstanding this grievous situation, the Authorised Version stands alone as the word of God. It is tried, true, and tested. For those that love it, the modern versions with their missing verses and inserted heresies are only impostors. The Authorized King James Bible alone speaks with the voice of authority and holiness and has done so for almost four centuries.

For those looking for God, the website at this link may help you in your journey. It contains articles on heaven, hell, comparative religion, and much more; for those that are saved, the Deception Series provides critical information and insight on these last days.

        Strangers have entered the sanctuary and 
even modern Cambridge editions of the King James Bible do not agree with each other. This free KJV    download is a good one.
  • Read the Authorized King James Version (KJV) Online 
    Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

  • The Epistle Dedicatory of the Authorized King James Version 
    Translators identify King James as the principal mover of the work and reveal that they were traduced by popish and puritanical persons. Of especial note, they mention the damage that the king's "writings in defence of the truth" did to the papacy.

  • The Translators to the Reader 
    Both the translators and the king were calumniated in the translation of the Authorised Version.

  • Overview of the Authorized King James Bible 
    Showing the flow and substance of the entire Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments.

  • The words of the Authorized King James Bible are not archaic. 
    Not only are the words of the Authorised Version not archaic, they are of critical importance in today's world.

  • "Authorised Successor"?????

  • The Cambridge website claims that the Authorized King James Bible has never been perfectly represented in print. They have also introduced their new edition of the King James Version.
    This is a bold, aggressive, and startling move--essentially taking away the scriptures and replacing them with something else.

  • John Wycliffe 

    William Tyndale 

    King James VI & I 

    Called "the morning star of the Reformation," John Wycliffe caused a stir by preaching against the abuses and heresies of the Roman Catholic "church." He and his followers (called "Lollards") pointed people to the word of God, not the Roman Catholic hierarchy. In the 1380s, Wycliffe published the entire Bible in English. The Roman Catholic "church" burned his Bibles and his books. Approximately forty-four years after his death, in an act of contempt, the Roman Catholic "church" dug up his bones and burned them. They did not stop with Wycliffe, they also persecuted his followers like Bohemian priest John Huss who they delivered to the "secular authorities" to be burned at the stake. 
    Translated the holy scriptures as an outlaw on the run. It is said that Tyndale was once told by a clergyman, "We had better be without God's laws than the Pope's." To this, Tyndale responded: "I defy the Pope, and all his laws; and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost." Tyndale's translation of the New Testament was published in 1525. Roman Catholic Cardinal Thomas Wolsey demanded his arrest as an heretick. Tyndale was eventually burned at the stake during the reign of Henry VIII in 1536. 
    The first king of Great Britain, James I commanded the translation of the Authorised Version of the holy scriptures, identified the pope as antichrist, and through his writings (such as his "A Premonition to All Most Mightie Monarches, Kings, Free Princes, and States of Christendome" found in his Workes, pages 287-338) he was the principal force in discovering to European rulers the injuries that they had long sustained by the usurping tendencies of the Roman Catholic papacy. His defense of the Divine Right of Kingswas simply a defense of kings being able to run their own kingdoms without papal (or Jesuitical) interference. Roman Catholics (including Jesuits Owldcorne and Garnet) tried to kill King James during the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. James' "Remonstrance for the Right of Kings" (Workes, pp. 381-484), explores the meddling of popes in government affairs and the devastating results of Roman Catholic recusancy.

It reveals the king's thoughts and Christian testimony during his imprisonment and impending death.


    "Religious truth is imprisoned in a small number of manuscript books which confine instead of spread the public treasure. Let us break the seal which seals up holy things and give wings to Truth in order that she may win every soul that comes into the world by her word, no longer written at great expense by hands easily palsied, but multiplied like the wind by an untiring machine."
    Johann Gutenberg, 


    c. 1455

    Desiderius Erasmus 

    "I would have the weakest woman read the Gospels and Epistles of St. Paul... I would have those words translated into all languages, so that not only Scots and Irishmen, but Turks and Saracens might read them."  
    Erasmus was a brillant Dutch scholar and reformer in his own right who: (1) examined and compared various Greek manuscripts found in the finest libraries in Europe, (2) selected those renderings received by the true church throughout the ages, and (3) compiled and published his own edition of the Greek New Testament which later became known as the, "Textus Receptus"--The Received Text. The Textus Receptus was consulted during the translation of Reformation era Bibles including the Authorised Version and represents readings found in the overwhelming majority of Greek texts available in the world today. On the other hand, modern Bible versions such as the NIV are based on a small number of dissenting, obscure, minority manuscripts that disagree with the majority of extant (available) Greek manuscripts at many points and lean toward Roman Catholic readings. Some question the authenticity of Codex Sinaiticus, one of the manuscripts that a number of modern versions are based on. Some modern Bible versions appear to be based on little more than the authors' own imaginations.
