    The issue is regarding how God preserves His immutable word. Psalms 119:89, "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven." And what God requires of us, Luke 4:4, "That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."

    Perhaps you misunderstand or misinterpret "every word". William Tyndale and the other English Bible translators did not understand Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 to mean that they had to make an every-word perfect Bible translation.

    In some of their 1611 marginal notes, the KJV translators even acknowledged that they did not provide an English rendering or word for every original-language word of Scripture in their underlying texts.

    None except KJVO have ever claimed that for the Bible translations!

    Many see the Nkjv as being a better revision of kjv!

    Did any Christians hold to the KJVO viewpoint of any translation being perfect, as it was always seen as just the Originals as being perfect!

    So are you saying it, Psalms 19:7, is no longer true?

    If only the originals are perfect, how can we trust the Word of God at all when the manuscripts we have are preserved copies and we don't have the originals?

    God protected and preserved to and for us thru all of those manuscripts, lectionaries, variants, etc His word unto us, as we have very close to what was Originally written down!

    You are wrong about that statement.

    Hmmm could it be you use the above excuse so as not to answer our questions.

    So does that mean you do or do not believe God's word to be immutable, Psalms 119:89?
