Why King James Only?

[2ndTimothy]

I must apologize for the tone of my post. I read most of the posts and it was tiresome to see the tone of some of those. I did not consider the whole matter and skipped past the posts closer to the end. My point was well stated by many others and I did not need to add to them. The last post is very clear.

Ok. It's been said in many ways, but let's try it again. BACK TO TOPIC, which is "why King James Only". If you do not have a post in regards to WHY YOU ARE ONLY KING JAMES, stop posting in this thread. Also, if you are posting about why you are only KJB, do not jab at someone or bring up the name of someone you know who isn't.

I hope that's good and clear.

The question does go past that initial question with - "or if you aren't why not?"

And as such I answered with that part.

Happy Fathers Day fellas!

Actually, you went beyond answering it. Hence the stop posting...

I know this is an older thread that I am "reviving"...but I feel the need to put my $0.02 in here as a newcomer to the IFB 

I started with the NIV, went to the NASB then to the ESV then back to the NIV...I will say that now that I have started with the KJV, I am rapidly becoming a "fan" of it in an enormous way. It speaks to my spirit in a way that no other bible has. I cannot explain it other than it quickens me and forces me to really stop and THINK and PRAY about what I am reading...it is no longer like reading just a book, it is so much deeper than that. 

The KJV stirs something that is beyond what the more modern versions do.

I agree.  The KJV is not merely the best version that is available; it is the perfectly preserved words of God as He has promised us:

(Psalms 12:6-7) "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. {7} Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

When we hold a King James Bible, we can be assured that it is just as perfectly His words as the originals and may be treated and studied as such.  That is the difference between the KJV and all the rest.  It is the difference between a real Rolls Royce and matchbox cars made from chocolate and arsenic.

I was reading John, in the 10th to 15th chapters...and although I've read it many times, reading it now it's different...Much different, there's a whole other layer to the words. Kind of like the difference between a cracker and a scrumptious, multi-layered ice cream sandwich...layers of texture, meaning, visual pictures. Amazing!

It is glorious, isn't it?

Don't worry, we won't make you eat your words.
