What do you guys think...in a simple answer.
I just want to see what people really think about this.
No. No way.
the terminology used by people belonging to a specified group or engaging in a specialized activity : gardening vernacular.
To say the 1611 version uses the Vulgar Tongue is bizarre. The arguments supporting this use the same basic logic as those arguments supporting unicorns, dragons and troglodytes.
But, WCF 1.8 doesn't say that the KJV, or any other translation shouldn't be used in the pulpit, does it? Is it just me? Isn't the idea that a vulgar translation be available? And don't we have several?
I mean really! I love the KJV. And there isn't any major Reformed denomination that forbids it's use in the pulpit, is there? Thousands of brilliant people, and none of them claim the KJV is against the WCF? Isn't that weighty?
