What is /x/ thoughts on the King James Version Bible? Is it a good translation? Can it be used for exorcisms in a pinch? I have an exorcism coming up and all I have is a KJV version.

It's a terrible translation laden with wild inaccuracies (unicorns) and pro-monarchist propaganda, since it was commissioned by a king. Newer translations are infinitely better as Bible scholars have obtained older and better preserved manuscripts, many even being original works rather than translations or copies. The only reason why it's so popular is cause it's the only translation the US had for a few hundred years, so they became convinced it was 'divinely written' and 'the only real Bible translation' and started coming up with other copes like insinuating that newer Bibles are being tampered with, as if their precious version doesn't wear its tampering on its literal sleeve.

tl;dr: the KJV is loved by larpers and by Americans only.

>inaccuracies (unicorns)
See footnote on ver. 7. Also Webster's 1828 dictionary: 'an animal with one horn; the monoceros. this name is often applied to the rhinoceros.'
>pro-monarchist propaganda
Not really. The translators avoided the use of the t-word (tyrant), other than that you really can't make a case that it's pro-monarchist.
>obtained older and better preserved manuscripts
Incorrect. The 'oldest and most reliable' manuscripts are provably corrupt. E.g. Augustine stated that the pericope adulterae and been removed from certain manuscripts (De Adulterinis Conjugiis 2:6–7).
>many even being original works
False. No originals have been discovered.
>it's the only translation the US had
Also false. The first Bibles in the US were Geneva. People chose to use the AV instead.
