Navigators, in Columbus days, believed the earth was like a table and "believing it was so", they navigated believing as much as they could, they would reach a bay, a country... same way we hope we would reach Heaven (but it is it the one that approached humankind) just by Christ, the Son of God, the one HE appointed as LORD, to save us for our own hands (not gropinly walking in old times darkness).
the fact that the ancients thought that God created the Sun Moon and stars on the fourth day when the context of the text makes it clear that it was actually microorganisms that were created on the 4th day teaches us that the ancients once had knowledge of microorganisms but that that knowledge was at some point lost.

God is "perfection." He gave us the Holy Spirit to impart His Word to us........the Holy Spirit will instruct us "perfectly" with no errors..........but I truly love to study the Written Word.........and don't care how it is criticized or misrepresented by others.
God is Great, God is Good........and He is surely "perfection."

I really believe you are better off ignoring Religion Wiki and just reading the Bible. Take 90 hours to do it for the first time. That can be broken down into a month of 3 hour sessions daily, or one hour every 4 hours of each day. I began with 1 hour before going to work, then in the evening turned off TV and read at least 2 hours before bed.
The second time through the next month you will get more of the overall picture. 10 years later you will have most of it down fairly pat. Dig it out for yourself, brother.

Heres an error most of you in here going on what I read so far dont belive God still desires to heal all today. You think the word saved only means saved. It means so much more . But best english word they had to dicribe the full greek meaning was saved. It means so much more . look it up and see for your self.
The Bible is not a book where you get to pick and choose which parts you want to believe in. God doesn't make mistakes. For the Bible is NOT called the holey bible as if it was full of holes like a slice of swiss cheese. The Bible is actually called the Holy Bible because it is divinely inspired by God (i.e. the KJV). There are no errors in God's true Word.
Granted, while I believe the KJV is the divinely inspired perfect Word of God for our day (In a line of other perfect Word's in other languages thru out time), I am not currently interested in debating the KJV issue at this time. I have debated the issue using Scripture more times than I can count. But if you are honest before God in wanting to follow God in the most smallest details of your life, then you at least owe to yourself to put aside what you think you know and look at the issue from a Scriptural standpoint and not with outside evidences (i.e. your supposed expertise in manuscript evidence) that you cannot really prove because you don't have a time machine to witness those accounts yourself. We are asked to have faith in God's Word. You either have it? Or you don't have it. For God doesn't want us to except just certain parts or certain words within the Bible. It's an all or nothing deal.
In fact, I believe this is an issue of a person not properly understanding Sola Scriptura (As described in the Bible). While, I created a Sola Scriptura Article (Using Scripture to back up Sola Scriptura), I strived not to specifically mention the KJV issue within it. But if you were to read the article, and think about the points I made (With Scripture and in prayer with the Lord), I think you will come to the conclusion that there has always been a perfect Word available to the people of the world (i.e. the world's language) thru out time.

I believe the KJV that says it is 130 years. I believe this because God's Word claims that it is perfect and pure and that it would be preserved forever. In other words, God preserved His Word thru out time in one specific chosen language (Which was usually the world language). But this is a faith issue. Scriptures states the fact that is perfect and that it will be preserved forever. You either believe these facts or you don't believe these facts in God's Word. It's the same with the gospel. You either believe Jesus died on the cross for your sins and rose three days later or you don't believe it. You can't actually prove whether Jesus actually resurrected or not. You have to have faith and just believe God's Word. Once you take that step of faith, then you will be able to see (Sort of like when Indiana Jones stepped off a cliff and landed on an invisible bridge in the Last Crusade - For he could later see he was on an invisible bridge by throwing stones onto it).
I wasn't born again yesterday, my friend. I didn't just randomly pin the tail on the KJV with a blind fold. I have many (not some) but many evidences that back up the KJV as the divinely inspired Word of God. That's a journey you will have to make for yourself to discover, though. As I said before, currently I am not interested in debating the KJV issue at this time.
Peace be unto and God bless you.
Side Note: Oh, but ask yourself this question. Why would God make it difficult for the famer or the bum on the street to know the Word of God? Was it not the poor and simple people that found more favor with Jesus? Was it not the Scribe (i.e. the people who transcribed the Word of God) that Jesus warned us about?
