(John 1:14, 1 Tim 3:16). The Word is, as God, one with the Holy Ghost (Mat
28:19, 1 John 5:7).

The non-scriptural word ‘Bible’ should not be used by Christians as far as possible
as it misleads Christians away from the scriptural terms Word and Scripure with
the result of much confusion (Rev 22:18-19). There should be no copyright on the
Word, this is a sin under the Law, and whenever the misprint-free document is
present it must not be copyrighted as no man can own God (Gen 1:1, Zech 11:13,
Mat 22:20-21, Mark 12:16-17, Luke 20:24-25, Eph 1:21). This means that as there
is no ownership there can be no sale or purchase price (Zech 11:13), though a
freewill offering is acceptable (1 Tim 5:18).

Whilst the labourer, translator, printer etc. is worthy of his hire (Luke 10:7) and
could therefore be paid by the King or whoever; no purchase price can be levied
upon the Word or the scripture for it is without price (Job 28:12-13, 15, 18, Zech
11:12-13, Mat 27:4-6) and no man owns it to sell it (Mat 22:20-21, Mark 12:15-17,
Luke 20:24-25, John 1:1, 14, 2 Cor 4:4, Col 1:15, Rev 19:13, 16). The Word-as-
book-in-the-material (the Scripture), as opposed to as text-in-the-material
contained in a book not representing as a whole God’s Word, will not exist until
the above conditions are met including no purchase price on the book and no
copyright or ‘license’ being claimed (see above).

It was not necessary for the King or the translators to be perfect men, anymore than
David’s adultery or Peter’s denial invalidates their contribution, unblemished by
any sin (1 John 1:8) as the Word is given of God (2 Tim 3:16). Even though other
factors will always be present given the sinful nature of Man, God will deal with
this where he is minded to bless the result (2 Tim 3:16, 1 John 1:8, 2:20-21, 3:9).

The translators did not claim inspiration from the Holy Ghost but this does not
invalidate the fact that they were so inspired as men of God do not always know at
the time what God is doing (Mat 17:12-13, Luke 1:17, John 1:21, 3:8, 1 Cor 7:40).

Such factors, in some combination or other, as a genuine and Spirit-inspired
concern for doctrine and the faithful, and an absence of copyright, purchase price
and commercial concerns will need to be present if any future edition, version,
updating or translation is to be inspired of God to be the Word as a book-in-the-
material (in obviously other than King James English). An ‘updating’ is impossible
in that there is still only one Word per language (Rev 22:18-19). A true ‘updating’
is only possible as a work of Holy Ghost-inspired translation into a different
language, that is we shall have to wait until God decides that the English of the
