Corey's "The Sword of Christ" opens with the following forward:
> *As Steven Anderson has conclusively demonstrated, the 1611 Authorized King James Version is the only Bible translation which we can trust. Aside from its infinite beauty, the King James Version is the only English translation that approaches parity with the Greek and Hebrew.*
Uh, no. The Douay–Rheims Bible is a translation of the Latin Vulgate, which is itself a translation of original first-hand Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts, from the tireless efforts of Saint Jerome (345–420), whose translation was declared to be the authentic Latin version of the Bible by the Council of Trent. Corey himself admits to being a Calvinist, so no surprise he upholds a politicized translation like the King James Version, [which removed and altered many verses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Testament_verses_not_included_in_modern_English_translations) (such as Matthew 23:14, Acts 13:42) that reference the Jews and their bad behavior.
Of course, the Reformation period in England led to a stronger connection with the Jews, so this comes as no surprise. Without the support of the Catholic Church, James I would need another source of money loans and economic advisors ... but who? Hmm. Where else could James get money and advice on how to cheat his fellow Christians of theirs? Hmm? Who nose.
Anyhow, I just found the PDF version of Corey's "The Sword of Christ" and will give it a browse. The chapters look interesting. Thanks for sharing.
