Variant Translations
This is a list of variants in the King James Bible translation. Some of these are minor differences in the translation, others are believed to be outright errors by the translators. This is based on the belief that the Bible is the word of God. God wrote the Bible, men merely recorded those words. Therefore, all words are chosen by God for a specific reason. To not use the correct translation would be to not honor the original author.

Note to the user, translating an ancient language is not as simple as translating a modern language. In the case of the Bible, translations are often men’s opinion or a result of inserting personal doctrine into scriptures. This is a reality of all biblical translations. As such, this presents a problem for the reader/student, because no translation is absolutely free of opinion or doctrine. The individual must exercise some personal intelligence, in what, they accept or disregard.
During the time, that the books of the Bible were written, there was not a lot of confusion as to the meaning of words. When God spoke, the individual recording the words understood the meaning of a word.
Today, even the most basic student of the Bible should be able to see that there is inconsistency in how a word is translated. So much so, if results of a word’s translation were to be indiscriminately redistributed; the Bible would quickly become a nonviable document.
As such, when the Books of the Bible were written, one may not have always understood God’s intent, but there was clarity of words. Today, we have not only lost God’s intent in many ways, we as a people have lost the clarity of the meaning of words. This is an attempt to standardize the clarity, so that the reader can decide meaning of scriptures for themselves. The subsequent pages used a number of sources to draw conclusions, none of the sources are documented. This was to avoid any potential conflict and ensure free usage of the material. As to the value of the subsequent pages, it is only a resource and not to be the definitive source. In all cases, you will have to decide for yourself.
