    G. John Rov, perhaps the most extreme or radical KJV-only author that I have read, wrote:
    "Yes, the King James Bible was at Calvary" (Concealed from Christians for the Glory of God, p. xi).

    G. John Rov claimed that "this book strictly uses the King James Bible's own self-disclosure and nothing else" (p. x).

    G. John Rov wrote: "Even as the Romans did not know that they had nailed Jesus, the Word of God, to the cross, so they did not know that they had nailed the Bible, the word of God to the cross either" (p. 55).

    G. John Rov claimed that "it [the Bible] was nailed to 'his cross' when Pilate nailed the 'superscription' to the cross" (p. 55).

    G. John Rov asserted that the superscription "was prophetically representing the plenary of the Bible which had been nailed to the cross. As the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, this was the seed of the Bible. The emerging New Testament, written in Greek, was the growth. The Latin, of course, was the seed of English, and therefore represented the maturity of the Bible as it would come to be in the King James Version" (p. 55).

    Concerning his chapter thirty-seven which deals with foreign language Bibles, G. John Rov wrote: "This reflects the strata of God's choosing, election and favor toward one man (the English speaker) over another (the foreign language speaker), in privilege and proximity to Himself" (p. xiii).

    seems that some KJVO elevate Kjv to being in the Trinity now!

    I have read some KJVO that equated the word of John 1 as being the Kjv itself!

    Which would be heresy, as that means that they really elevated the KJV to being like unto God! They treat the Kjv as the Muslims do their Koran!

    Why should erroneous, harmful, human KJV-only reasoning/teaching be left alone instead of being exposed as the false doctrine that it is?

    This is why we have a separate forum to discuss (and in many cases, to mock) topics like this apart from serious biblical issues.

    Mr T. gives salient advice. Pity the fool.

    Because maybe then you could find something else to spend your time on. You've EXPOSED it already! A million times! You've been posting countless places, for countless years, on this topic, with countless "copy and paste" diatribes that have changed no one's mind, as far as I know. Answer me this....what would you DO if the KJVO issue went away? Your life would be over! :)

    And someone on BB thought I was way off when I said that (facetiously) the Apostle Paul used the KJV!

    Do some regard the Bible doctrines of inspiration and preservation to be unimportant biblical issues?

    Human, non-scriptural KJV-only teaching has not gone away. It is still being advocated and taught, and more new books advocating it are still being printed such as the one mentioned in this thread.

    It would be great if it went away. Sound teaching concerning the Bible doctrines of inspiration and preservation would still be needed even if there were no false KJV-only teaching. Sound teaching concerning the subject of Bible translation would still be needed even if there was no false KJV-only teaching creating confusion and conflict.

    My life would not be over if it was not needed for believers to answer and expose present, incorrect, human, non-scriptural KJV-only reasoning/teaching.

    Well, you would still be very busy, as there would still be the issues between TR/MT and Critical Greek text advocates, and between various translations!
