I do not believe that God directly inspires any translator's choice of words. The translators of the KJV give evidence in their preface that they didn't think so either. I believe that God preserves His message only to the extent that He does not allow human error to pervert his intended meaning. He does NOT prevent human error from occurring in ANY translation.
This is absolute twaddle - with bells on!
God did not publish the KJV.
It was a translation from Greek and Hebrew/Aramaic manuscripts to English.
It was undertaken by men who were those very philosophers you appear to have a problem with.
They had great knowledge of the original languages as well as a theological position that influenced their approach to translation.
Like everyone else they were human and subject to human foibles.
Did they do a great job given what they had?
Yes!
Is it a perfect translation?
Absolutely not!

Back to making silly statements I see!
You are the one who made a claim that you cannot in any way substantiate.
You claim that current translators somehow do not understand the original meaning of words in the original languages - a claim that you are profoundly unqualified to make.
Perhaps if you were an expert on Koine or Hebrew someone might actually take you seriously.
As it is.....

No, I don't put my faith in James Strong's ability to understand a 2000 year old language. I admit I know absolutely nothing about Greek and Hebrew and I could care less what the original languages say because those writings were written for that day and time.
All I have to do is pick up my KJV and believe every word is right and God does the rest.
