WHAT VERSE SAYS KJB?

Another commonly parroted question is, "Where in the Bible does it say the King James Version is the only true English Bible?" For example:
{{ Do you have a verse that KJV is the one and all other translations, including the ones kjv came from are not? }}
First, what is this Bible you speak of? Some translation containing errors? But, to answer your question, Yes.

1 Tim 3:15  ... the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

The church is the pillar and ground of the truth (the truth being the scripture, John 17:17). Only ONE Bible version can be pointed to as having general recognition from the overall body of Christ - the KJB. Even many places which speak other languages use the KJB when they recognize they don't have an accurate translation in their own language (i.e. Philippines, Kenya, China).


And here's another verse:

1 Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

The KJB has been PROVED to be GOOD over 400 years. The modern versions fail one after another. Few have a shelf life of over 4 years let alone 40, much less 400.

The KJB is the ONLY English Bible to meet that criteria.


Now tell me, in the past half century (century, or four centuries):

Which Bible has caused the most conversions, the KJB or the Greek?

Which Bible has built more churches, the KJB or the Greek?

Which Bible has called the most preachers, the KJB or the Greek?

Which Bible has sent the most missionaries, the KJB or the Greek?

Which Bible has been printed and distributed more, the KJB or the Greek?

Which Bible has led to the most revivals, the KJB or the Greek?

Need I continue? By ANY measure, the KJB is the Bible God uses and blesses. Apparently the English is more able to accomplish God's will than the Greek of today. If the English was not pure, inspired scripture, why would God use it instead of the Greek? Why would God give us second best when the best was available?

If God could move from Hebrew to Greek, why couldn't He move to English? God created all of those languages. In fact, the pre-KJB English Bibles were used more than the Greek before 1611 and the Latin Bibles before them. God is not bound to one or two languages. You are putting God in a box. If God wanted to, He could have His pure, inerrant word in French or Swahili and use & bless it above all others. But God was wise enough to use the language that would reach most of the world (that's kind of the idea, right?). Greek does not do that.

You NEED your Hebrew and Greek experts to tell you what God really meant. You can't be certain the verses you trust for your salvation are accurate without those experts. They are your real final authority and god. I need the Bible on my desk - the word of God, the inspired scripture.

Even on a human scale, I'd put my experts, the KJB translators, up against your experts, and come out way ahead. But I'd rather trust that God preserved His pure scripture like He promised.

  1. 2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (KJV)

    Re 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
    19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. KJV
