    You do not present reliable research that can be checked and verified and that would back up KJV-only claims.

    One could rightly also paraphrase Logos' comment as a turnaround rebuke to the critical text position:

    "Critical text advocates are men who are using their human reason and who lean on their own understanding to reach their non-scriptural critical text conclusions that are not stated in the Scriptures....

    The Scriptures do not teach that the word of God is bound to the textual criticism decisions, Bible revision decisions, and translation decisions of one exclusive group of German-based critics in the 21st century. "

    Sorry folks, my earlier post didn't make it. I was just agreeing with Logos1560 that as a KJV preferred I know that all KJV-only advocates can't be lumped into one group.

    All KJVO hold that the Kjv is a perfect translation though, and that the TR is the best greek text!

    All KJVO despise the Nkjv as being a worthless translation!

    I have no idea what you are saying was the originals. Your declaration does not match my post.

    Do we need to have a perfect translation to have the word of God to us in English?

    One can be KJVP, but no logic nor bible to support KJVO!

    You probably should review the BB Definitions of KJV-Only. According to this and even White in his book, the label covers a wide range of thinking.

    Do you hold that the Kjv is a perfect copy of the originals that were inspired by God?

    You stated that scriptures were inspired, and I agreed that they were in the Originals!

    That is why many have found Confessions helpful to summarize biblical truths and doctrines!

    Yes, the originals were inspired. As Paul says, so were the 1st century Scriptures (which were not the Originals but copies and translations).

    God's Word is not as superficial as you seem to think.

    Some seem to equate though that cannot have infallibility without inspiration, but very few equated the two in regards to translations until KJVO!

    Did Jesus that the Spirit would inspire just His Apostles, or translators also much later?

    Not saying his view, but some KJVOv views border on Idolatry!

    Where does it state translations will have inspiration then?

    When you hold the Bible in your hands you do hold the inspired Word of God.
