Tiny Church Finds They Own Original KJV Bible!
A small village church in England has discovered that the church Bible, on display in the open on a table, is an original 1611 King James Bible!! One of only 200 surviving of the orignal 400.
I am pasting a link to the video and printed news report below;

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

That so cool. Just to be able to hold something that hold, with that much history behind it would be exhilarating.

I for one would like to point out that this Bible has been preserved, with apparently the need of just one rebinding, for 400 years because its owners never left it under the windshield of their car.
... something to think about.
Happy 400th Birthday KJV.

Re: Tiny Church Finds They Own Original KJV Bible!
Just a random thought... if someone created a Surfer bible today... in 400 years would there be tongues and interpretations in Surfer talk?

Re: Tiny Church Finds They Own Original KJV Bible!
That is exciting to think the KJV withstood the test of time. But it is not the first English translation of older text. It was the first to be approved by King James so that the public citizens could read it. Now today just look how many secular controversies there are that have come out of one book. Surprising isn't it!

Im curious how that was possible. If that was in a museum they'd have it in an enclosed protective case to preserve it. wow

Apparently, it was "chained" to a roster like most Bibles in Anglican churches of the time, for the first century or so of its life. It was "found" preserved in a chest in the priory in 1858, so it spent most of its life tucked away.
In 1858, it was rebound. Keep in mind, the paper and papyri used (especially for Bibles) in those day was acid free and of much higher quality than is generally available today. The pages look like parchment - leather skins - when being turned in the video. If they are not parchments, then they're of a very high quality of paper.
I take it no one knew of the Bible's unique quality until very recently, thus, perhaps explaining to rather lax care that was taken.
