Favorites · 3h · “When we read the writings of George Washington or Patrick Henry, we do not read King James Bible English. Their everyday language was much closer to ours. The books of Edgar Allen Poe or James Fennimore Cooper are not written in the English of 1611. Abraham Lincoln or Robert E. Lee did not grow up speaking English as it was spoken in the 17th century yet none of them has trouble reading the King James Bible. The educators of their day believed in making their students smarter to match their Bible. Today’s educators believe in making their Bibles stupider to match their students. By all accounts, both achieve their objective.” John M. Asquith, Further Thoughts on the Word of God, p.119
