James White, Vice President of Human Resources at Unit, participated in a September 2023 debate arguing that the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) is textually superior to the King James Version (KJV). White stated that the LSB is based on older manuscripts with more evidence than those available to KJV translators, and that the KJV contains errors such as a scribal error in Ephesians 3:9 and the inclusion of the First John 5:7 passage, which he said is absent from Greek manuscripts. He characterized the KJV-only movement as rooted in tradition and a modernistic desire for certainty, asserting that advances in manuscript discoveries and linguistic understanding should be incorporated into translations. In a separate September 2021 presentation, White, as founder and CEO of Legend Story Studios, offered business advice on inventory management and financial reporting. He discussed stock turn rates, noting that a rate between two and four is a sweet spot for retail, and advised retailers to identify high gross profit and high stock turn items to invest in while divesting from low-performing stock. He encouraged allocating dedicated time for business development and using point-of-sale systems to track cost of goods sold and gross profit by SKU.
“The Legacy Standard Bible is textually superior to the King James Version because it is based on a text that is far older and more manuscript evidence is available today than was to the King James translators.”
“The King James translators would be completely on my side in this debate; they believed translations should be in the common language, understandable and accessible to people, and that translations must differ from one another as long as the original meaning is sought.”
“The King James Version is based on the Textus Receptus, which was compiled from printed editions of Greek New Testament texts available in the 16th century, and it contains errors such as a scribal error in Ephesians 3:9 that the Legacy Standard Bible corrects.”
“The Legacy Standard Bible translators have access to manuscripts 1200 to 1800 years older than those used by the King James translators, providing a more accurate text of the New Testament.”
