Well Rich, Paul
did have the
authorized version (i.e., he wrote part of it, and had the
authorized writings of the other NT writers -- those that were written and available to him at that time); but it wasn't in English yet! No uppercase A and V! I suppose the real question is, was his authorized version equivalent to our Authorized Version?
About “breeches” in Exodus, Leviticus, and Ezekiel (not Genesis): what’s a better word? Drawers? Britches? Loin cloth? Breech cloth? It’s a Biblical word – a technical word – for what the priests wore under their garments.
About Easter being an error in Acts 12:4:
I post links to some interesting articles on this. First, Will Kinney’s, which I consider the best. Then Jack Moorman’s, which although good, is based on what I believe to be faulty research by Alexander Hislop in
The Two Babylons. Sir James G. Frazer, in his,
The Golden Bough, does confirm Moorman’s excerpted passages re the myths/religions involving Tammuz and Ishtar (Astarte), but I do not think there is any substance to the allegation Herod was into their worship. Kinney addresses this. (Ezekiel 8:14 does show there were some in Jerusalem who worshipped Tammuz, but this is not relevant to the matter at hand.) Pastor Moorman is almost always spot on, and this is a rare exception. Then there is a link to an article (in PDF) from
The Christian Research Journal of 2000 which scrutinizes the work of Hislop, and finds it wanting. This is a significant article as many Christians use Hislop’s work as though it were reliable, and it is not.

This is from Jack Moorman’s book,
Conies, Brass & Easter
The excellent critical review of
The Two Babylons:

I think Kinney ably defends the use of Easter in Acts 12:4, for those interested in this.
Incidentally, I don't have a hard copy of the Geneva, and would like to get one, it being a highly significant version.
