Question #49 -
QUESTION:
Is it true that the King James translators were nothing but a
bunch of Episcopalian baby sprinklers?
ANSWER:
No.
EXPLANATION:
The company of men who did the translating of the
Authorized Version was made up of Bible believing men from both
the Anglican and Puritan churches. Their character and
qualifications have been attested earlier.
Such a statement as, "The King James
translators were nothing but a bunch of Episcopalian baby
sprinklers," is one of those statements which is sadly not
based on fact nor conviction. It is made with the hope of
character assassination and an ultimate hope of overthrowing the
authority of the King James Bible in the minds of believers.
It might be beneficial at this point to note
what the King James translators were NOT.
They were not adulterers, as David. Nor were
they murderers as Moses and David. Nor had any of them sacrificed
any of their children to Chemosh or Molech as Solomon had in I
Kings 11. Nor had they vehemently denied the Lord as Peter.
These short comings are not pointed out to
bring disrespect on any of the writers of scripture. But are noted
so that we should be a little more gracious in our description of
the men whom God has chosen to use.
