I've brought this question up, but never gotten a satisfactory answer: what happens to someone who doesn't read Jacobean English? Are other translations acceptable in God's eyes for non-English readers? Or is God's word just perfect in 17th century English and everyone else doomed if they weren't enlightened enough (or lucky enough to live post-1604) to read it in the original English? If I can read the original Hebrew and Greek texts, is that okay, or would I be just as guilty of reading false scripture as if I read another translation? What if I take the KJV and make the language user-friendly? Is that heresy or something?
