Welcome to the Unicorn Debate Forum. I am going to throw my weight behind the Unicorn.

Given that the "unicorn" is probably a rhinoceros, that's probably wiser than throwing your weight in front of it.

A "unicorn" as referred to in the KJV of the Bible (and fortunately not found in the NKJV of the Bible) is a one horned horse, as found on Lord Rothschild and the British monarchy's coat of arms.

Well... there's an argument for the KJV if I ever heard one.

Rabbi Yair Davidiy, orininally from British Empire Australia, tells us more about the KJV "unicorn", and the zionist Rothschild's and British Monarchy's "unicorn" coat of arms, which will "reunite" Judah and Ephraim under the Davidic British Monarchy (not Christ Yeshua in His Millennial Kingdom after his second coming as prophesied in Ezekiel 37 through Ezekiel 48, to be fulfilled in Revelation 20:4-8):

I have a special section for unicorns, dragons and mermaids in my school library.

as for deacons, KJV has described Phoebe as servant of the church.

I wouldn't wish to insult your knowledge but I was not trying to promote an argument for which bible to use but just explaining why I soon learned to leave the choice to God. Do you not wonder why God allowed the King James Bible to be the only english translation for about 400yrs and while english became the most common language used and why so many came to faith in him as a result.

It's just as bad as the old NASB. Can a leopard change his spots?

The very fact that these CORRUPT modern versions must be constantly updated confirms two things: (1) they were faulty to begin with, and (2) the motive for coming up with new versions (like fashion changes) is purely monetary -- cash for corruption.

Numbers 23 (King James Bible)

22God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

Numbers 24 (King James Bible)

Deuteronomy 33 (King James Bible)

17His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Job 39 (King James Bible)

9Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? 10Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? 11Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? 12Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

Psalm 22 (King James Bible)

People in england call KJV the AV meaning 'authorized version' as it was appointed to be read in churches...there were many english versions floating around at the time, but this one was picked as oustanding above all the rest. It was especially commisioned, it wasnt like it was some random publishers trying to make a buck, or disgruntled scholars touting their own version.

KJV has been revised several times since then. I dont think there have been any drastic changes except for spellings and maybe more informal use of pronouns.

the other versions that ppl talk about are from different mansucripts that dont use majority texts. They are problematic because they miss out verses and words, its as simple as that. When you compare them they dont even match.

Here is a breakdown of how this type of accusation against a brother is manufactured.
It is a work of deception.

False claim: "Hort taught that Revelation 3:15 proclaimed Christ was the first thing created, agreeing with the Gnostic teaching that Christ was a begotten god. [F. J. A. Hort, The Apocalypse of St. John 1-3: The Greek Text with Introduction, Commentary, and Additional Notes (1908; reprint, Minneapolis: James and Klock Publishing, 1976), 36.]" (Crowned With Glory, by Dr. Thomas Holland, chapter 2)

This claim by Dr. Holland is a vain and libelous attempt to portray Hort as an Arian. Hort had "deeply-rooted agreement" with official Anglican views, "above all, Creeds" (Life and Letters of Hort, volume 1, p.400). The Creeds which were written to combat heresies such as Arianism (e.g. the Nicene creed says "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father.", the Athanasian creed says "the deity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, equal in glory and coeternal in majesty", "the Son uncreated", "the Son eternal", "The Son is neither made nor created", etc.). It is inconceivable that Hort could believe that Christ was the first thing created, while at the same time believing the three most-accepted Creeds (Apostles', Nicene, Athanasian). But nevertheless, what does Hort actually say on page 36, regarding "the beginning of the creation" (in Rev 3:14-15)? Here it is (bold added):

Hort did NOT "proclaim Christ was the first thing created", as Holland claimed. He simply recognized that the precise Greek words of this particular verse (n apxh thc kticwec), on their own, from a grammatical perspective could mean "the first thing created" - but they could also just as easily mean the source of creation, which is the meaning we accept because it is the meaning the rest of Revelation and the Bible (such as Col 1:16-18, which Hort mentions) and even the Creeds (with which Hort had "deeply-rooted agreement") compel us to accept.
