I was talking to my friend today and was trying to convince him of the TR/KJV position. He is a ministry intern at our church. He mentioned the fact that some words have changed meanings between now and when the KJV was translated, and advised me against using the KJV in evangelism as he thinks the average person would get lost in the thees and thous and archaic language.
He also asked why there isn't an updated translation of the TR.
So why is that? Why don't we get a bunch of Reformed Hebrew and Greek scholars who are committed to the TR to do a fresh translation into modern English? We could make sure they are godly men who believe in the inspiration of the text and reject the critical text (in fact there could be no consultation of the critical text whatsoever). So why aren't people like MW, Jerusalem Blade and the Trinitarian Bible Society doing just that? What is stopping them?
