    I'm just a truck driver, a fisherman, a carpenter, and a born again child of the King. But one thing I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that the KJV is annointed by God to serve the following purpose:

    Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

    Therefore, I personally, do not need any other translation. I have a lifetime of experience with it, and detailed knowledge of the exceptionally brutal lifetime that it carried my grandfather through. I trust it.

    And I am committed to sticking with the KJV, with the same dedication that I have towards my wife. Till death do us part.

    The KJV rests upon scholarship and not blind faith. People who do not have the time and money to study all of the textual criticisms rest upon 400 years of use all over the world.

    None of these is exclusively "the Bible". The very makers of the AV 1611 called it the "authorized VERSION". The makers of any Bible version are wrong to call it "THE Bible", same as calling a Ford or Chevy "THE car". Call it "A car" or "A Bible".

    Through all this thread, no one has posted one verse of Scripture supporting the KJVO myth.

    Why ?

    Because THERE ISN'T ANY !

    The KJVO myth is man-made; its origins have been posted more than once on this site. The fact is, NO man-made doctrine of faith/worship is true. Jesus raked some Pharisees for their man-made command of ceremonial handwashing before eating. And God has severe penalties for those who add to or subtract from His word !

    Let us consider Romans 14 in our Bible versions discussions. If one wishes to use only the KJV (or any other one version) as one's only Bible version, fine, but let that one not criticize anyone else's choice of Bible version (s). For, no matter what, any "one-version-only" doctrine is false !

    Are you admitting that modern, human KJV-only reasoning rests upon traditions and opinions of men which KJV-only advocates try to make sound scriptural by use of terms such as "inspiration," "preservation," and "faith" without presenting any sound Bible doctrine concerning them?

    Where do the Scriptures teach blind trust in the biased, imperfect scholarship of one exclusive group of doctrinally-unsound Church of England critics in 1611?

    Believers could study the Scriptures and see that human KJV-only reasoning/teaching is non-scriptural, unscriptural in some aspects, and wrong.

    Do the Scriptures teach that faith in human scholarship and human reasoning is sound Biblical faith in what God actually stated?

    And yet I've never noticed you complain when people use these other initials. Kind of like when you say no one has one verse of Scripture supporting the KJVO myth, then post that God did not allow the original autographs to survive so people would not make them objects of worship -- without one verse of Scripture supporting the assertion! Physician, take a look at thyself.

    Seen any originals lately? And the users of certain names or initials for their Bible versions are just-as-wrong as KJVOs are for referring to the KJV as "KJB".

    No. Neither have I made any bogus claims about why I have not seen them.
    Now I will be expecting you to squawk anytime anyone makes reference to those initials.

    Why not go all way back to the Vulgate then?

    Why ? There are no widespread "onlyist" groups for them, as there is for the KJV.

    I see no defense of Mr. Kinney's stuff by any KJVO here.
