You're reading Why do some tout the "if it ain't King James, It ain't bible" philosophy when the original scripts of the bible were written in Hebrew, Greek, and other languages, not Olde English?

Thanks for clearing that up, I was pretty sure I was wrong about the type of English. Now that you mention it, I remember trying to read Beowulf in its original form and found it very hard to do. If I remember correctly, true old english sounds a bit like modern german (I speak German). Same romantic roots, right?

Thanks for the points. Yes, Old English (Anglo-Saxon) was a Germanic language.
