What’s wrong with the KJV only teaching? (in 500 words or less)

The KJV is not “old English”, though it certainly appears that way to modern eyes, but rather “Jacobian” English. Old English would be what you would have heard in King Harold’s army at Hastings. Middle English would follow in the Middle Ages, and then with the Renaissance, you have the dawning of modern English.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
Beowulf = Old English
Chaucer = Middle English
Bible, Shakespeare = Early Modern English
Bieber, Justin = Contemporary Modern English

[Andrew K]Beowulf = Old English
Chaucer = Middle English
Bible, Shakespeare = Early Modern English
Bieber, Justin = Contemporary Modern English

Waiting for the Bieber edition!
I believe my 1599 Geneva is superior to the KJV!!!
