Recent studies have shown that in translation, some things in the bible were PURPOSEFULLY changed in the King James version. There have been serious suggestions made that the line which now reads ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live’ was originally ‘Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live’. There was even a book written around the time the King James version came out that specifically denounced the intentional mistranslation. http://www.hollowhill.com/fun/halloween/witch-bible.htm King James was very superstitious, which is evidenced by the fact that Shakespeare wrote ‘MacBeth’ SPECIFICALLY for him. http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/kingbio.htm (And that’s even a very right wing, fundamentalist Christian website). He was pretty worried about the supernatural, and had a particular fear of ‘witches’. I’m not saying that the things you said aren’t the actual translations. I’m just saying, it’s really worth looking into before you start believing strongly in something a corrupted king may have paid off his translators to ‘fix’ for him.
