How do you know God added to it, instead of the text simply being slightly different back then than it is now? And again, even if God did add it, how do you explain the KJV-only definition of "preservation", since God's actions are then *against* how KJV-onlyists define preservation? Are you not thus demonstrating the KJV-only position is in oppostion to how God acts?

Surely you can see that your reply does not answer the question. Either Jesus was reading a scroll with words added to it or the KJV is missing words in Isaiah 61:1 or the KJV has an inaccurate account in Luke. Do you know of another explaination that accounts for all of the text?
Your answer simply cannot do it since the KJV clearly say Jesus was reading from Isaiah. -

Like I said before, I don't have a problem with the fact that the words in Luke 4:18 are not identical to the words at Isaiah 61:1. But I have not yet seen a KJVO explaination of how this can be possible. My contention is that saying the same thing does not require saying it with the same words. That is exactly how I view this issue- the pursuit of the words is an academic pursuit involving evidence and evaluation but the pursuit/application of the Word (what was said) is a spiritual one.
Word for word perfection is not required for perfection of the message.
I can completely buy in to the explaination promoted by kman. But his post just further supports my contention. Jesus took the whole of Isaiah and the scriptures in context. The Bible is one Word, not limited to the sum of its human words. -
