That sounds harsh, but here's why:
John 14:23-24 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
How can we love Jesus and keep His words, when we don't have His words? If all we have is errant copies, we don't have His words. We cannot keep His sayings, no matter how badly we want to, and we can't love Jesus.
To keep God's words would include obeying them as well as reading, studying, and memorizing them, which would require actually HAVING them.
A Burger King version adherent doesn't even HAVE the pure word of God. Thus he can't read, study, or memorize the pure word of God. Therefore, a modern versionist cannot love Jesus, since he CANNOT KEEP God's pure words.
In fact, a mv advocate doesn't even believe GOD could keep His own words, much less than we could. If an mv advocate claims he can keep God's pure words, even though God couldn't, he is admitting that he is an authority over God and God's word.
