As a non KJVO and even non KJVP, I would say "9".
The KJVO will say "1" and supply quotes from "3" as proof! -
-
tee hee, Brother WebDog -- you get "A" in insight but "D" in diplomacy -- :laugh:
-
ok..9 then
now let me go cast my real vote. Go Dallas!!! -
I voted #4, USA super patriotic answer, in honor of
the Comic Book Bible Scholar: Jack Chick at:

Yep, look at the strange history of the KJV1611, two or
three points of which are actually correct.
I do know that there was a heavy tax on the KJV1762 Edition
and the KJV1769 Edition. Those nonrepresented taxes
on even God's Holy Word lead in the USofA and its precusor
colonies to many a
unauthorized so called 'AUTHORIZED VERSION'. -

I voted "None of the above, don't know, etc." because even the KJVO folks aren't sure which KJV it is that they are calling the KJB. Many claim it is the 1611 but use one of the later editions instead. If the KJVO folks are so confused, how do you expect the rest of us to know, Ed? :rolleyes: :confused: :thumbs:

Foolish Question
II Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. (KJV 1769)
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. (KJV 1769) -
I agree PB, although this thread can not be considered inflammatory, it does seem a little silly.

Missed one
Ed, Very interesting poll and it is going to be interesting the results. I do think you should have included the NKJV. It is my opinion that it will become an accepted KJV in the near future.
I have predicted before that many people are already seeing the NKJV as a KJV. I even know of people at my church who would not accept anything but a version of the KJV and now they are accepting the NKJV. Our pastor is now using the NKJV because he was afraid to use any other modern version. Of course, we're a small country church with lots of older people. I don't know any who are KJVO, but there are several that are preferred.
In saying that I predict that as soon as this generation passes (another 10 or 20 years), then the NKJV will become an accepted version and be considered a "King James" version. Mark my words. -

Like I said, I am not a Bible versions expert. If you would care to edumacate me, I remain open minded. (always) -
I am learning too brother about this issue. I too need edjamacation (LOL). As I understand it---and please those who know more than I add some clarity----the same basic manuscripts used in the translation of the KJV were used in the NKJV. I know those who are KJVO don't like this because they want everyone to believe that they are KJV 1611, when in truth the KJV they use and quote from are actually updates from the 1611 version. That is my understanding and am open to help in this area.
God Bless,

I find it interesting that the New American Standard Bible can be called such, but the KJV defenders cannot use the term to describe their Bible. -
Ye olde double standard..

The KJB is not
NKJV,NIV,NASB,Good news Bible,TNIV,NAS, RSV, NLT and any version from W/H But before the reformation one would not read out of any thing other than the TR.The Bible ought to be the common possession of all Christians, and needs to be made available for common use in the language of the people.But we dont need 100 translations and many Versions only one will do the job! Thorpe ""I indeed clove to none closer than to him, the wisest and most blessed of all men whom I have ever found. From him one could learn in truth what the Church of Christ is and how it should be ruled and led." said about "Doctor evangelicus" -
2 Timothy 2:23 (KJV1769 edition at Crosswalk.com ):
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes.
2Ti 2:23 (KJV1769 edition at e-Sword.com ):
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do engender strifes.
Checking in with a real Bible:
2Ti 2:23 (Geneva Bible):
And put away foolish and vnlearned questions,
knowing that they ingender strife.
