- You gotta love this group. Actually, Paul didn't write the KJV. As
- the name implies, the KJV was written by James, the brother of Jesus,
- and author of the biblical epistle that bears his name. He was called
- "King" because of all the spot-on Elvis impersonations he performed
- at bar mitzvahs, Day of Atonement bashes, and the like.
-
- The most accurate version by far is the Queen Mary Version (QMV), used
- throughout Scotland and on most luxury liners. A close second is
- the Old New England Words About YHWH (ONEWAY) Version favored by
- most Coptics and Manicheans, and later adopted by the Pilgrims, the
- Puritans, and Larry Norman. It's the only version that contains
- the long-disputed but now accepted verses, "Thou (or you) shalt not
- wrangle over thous and thees; neither shalt thou engage in doctrinal
- hair splitting, or doctrinal hair styling, or any other acts of
- cosmetology. You (or thou) shalt wear thy hair unkempt and shall
- love one another instead, and if ye persist in such unloving nonsense
- YHWH shall personally come down and rend thy concordances and smite
- thee on the noggin'."
-
- I don't think anyone could dispute the fact that the QMV and ONEWAY
- versions are God's annointed Word. All other versions are perversions
- of the truth. And I'm willing to fight about it and pray for your
- lost soul if you tell me I'm wrong. Okay? I hope I haven't offended
- thee. Or thou, for that matter.
