Why does Les stay with the King James Bible instead of modern translations?
He stays with the King James Bible because he feels its translators were about 200 and some years closer to the Greek than today's scholars. Although they did not have computers, he trusts the old King James translators and chooses to remain with that translation.
Les teaches that he will not take the Greek and twist it to make it mean what someone wants, as he says theologians like to do. Instead, he stays by what the translators did, because he feels the King James translators were about 200 and some years closer to the Greek than today's scholars. Granted, they did not have computers, but he still trusts the old King James translators and is going to stay with it. He also calls this comparing Scripture with Scripture.
