I've recently been going through a season of searching deeply for truth. In this, I have been finding some things in King James Version scripture that I've missed over the years. And based on friends I have showed this to, most folks have missed these as well. It has provided me a few laughs over the past few days. Just so you know I'm not making this up, I will give a link to the King James Version scripture on Bible Gateway - see for yourself.

"But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?" (II Kings 18:27)

"therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jerobo'am, and will cut off from Jerobo'am him that pisseth against the wall..." (I Kings 14:10)

"And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends." ( I Kings 16:11)

Even though a legalistic Christian would have a full blown self-righteous meltdown if I said "piss", That "vulgar word" is found in every bible sitting in most every hotel room and traditional church in America.

Most "old school" American Christians still prefer the King James Translation. Some have gone as far as to say it's the only God pleasing translation (Ex: King James Only Movement) Next time you hear someone singing "Gimme that Ole Time Religion"...is this what they want? :-)

Keeping the walls dry,
