We all know the bible has been thru so many translations that alot of the bible is simply false. The King James version of the bible is written in what I guess I consider Old English...i.e., "thee" "thou" "hence" etc....

I've always been curious why, considering the above, does the B of M carry many verses from Isaiah and from the b-attititudes (sermon on the mount) that are word for word/identical to the King James version of those same verses in the Bible.

It just seems to me that after many different translations and the fact te Bible is written in an older English language, that the B of M may have similar teachings from Jesus and Isaiah, but the EXACT wording would not be the same.

Any insight? Its bugged me for years.
