This answer is quite easy if you believe that the authorised version (king james version, kjv) is the only inspired word of God. Many false bibles are sent into the world to decieve many..
So I guess that since the KJV is the only inspired word of God, then anyone on Earth who does not know English, indeed, the King's English, is somehow further from God.
How nationalistic of you.
Additionally, perhaps you should know who King James VI of Scotland, later King James I of England really was. Such a character seems an odd choice at best for having the ultimate responsibility for approving any infallible and inerrant Bible.
Perhaps if you believe that God speaks through the text, then maybe, just maybe, how the text came about is somehow worthy of your consideration.
If I were you, I would not imply that all Christians who died prior to 1603 and who did not then or now know the King's English were clueless concerning any 'word of God.' Such a position makes you appear narrow-minded and somewhat racist.
BTW, welcome to EVC.
ABE - This is an example of going off-topic, which leads to all kinds of problems and is frowned upon for that reason. If you are still willing to support your assertion concerning the KJV being the only inspired word of God, I'm sure it would be quite active. Perhaps you would like to propose a new topic, when comfortable.
