The KJV renders 5 different Hebrew and Greek words as “book”
How the KJV renders it
book
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
Questions this word decides
- Will there be a literal thousand-year reign (the millennium)?
- Is purgatory taught in scripture?
- Is hell eternal conscious torment or annihilation?
- Will everyone ultimately be saved?
- Does continuing to sin after conversion cost you your salvation?
