POI- In the original Old Testament, the word translated as "DAY" in KJV et al in the book of Genesis is NOT the same word as the Hebrew word for a day of 24 hours- it is more like an age, ie "in the day of our ancestors" . Same problem with the supposed biblical injunction "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" In the original, the word is "poisoner", not witch. The bishops in 264 ( I think it was) decided what parts of the bible they wanted to base their church on, thus deleting a number of texts as well. One book was found in NE Africa ( in a monk's grave) in 1880- so much for the KJV using all texts to determine the word of God. The KJV is a great piece of literature- but hardly the Word of God.
