Everyone engages in textual criticism whether you know it or not. Every single person involved in "a" Textus Receptus was a textual critic. They all practiced textual criticism. Erasmus, Stephanus, and Beza! The King James Translators practiced textual criticism. Other KJV editors that came after the original ones changed readings practicing textual criticism. You yourself practice textual criticism. Just the most primitive form, whatever your particular edition of the KJV you happen to use you think it is right verses all the others.

You are a textual critic, because you had to choose one reading over another one. God does not want you to be in the dark about how the Bible came to us, nor is there any reason to be afraid of variations in the Bible. They exist. They happened. Even between different editions of the KJV there are variations.

You seem like someone that cares about Gods word. But if all you do is think that the KJV is always right even in the face of overwhelming evidence then perhaps not as much as it appears.

May God lead and teach you in his word.
Those who are into KJVO seem to not trust at all in any textual criticism though!

Well, he did answer your request regarding any KJVO that would support only saved by the Kjv!

Well, actually he did not. First he insulted me, then he didn't answer the questions that I asked......

do you PERSONALLY....I don't care about KJVO authors who wrote some book you read.........do you PERSONALLY know anyone who is guilty of all the things you accuse KJVO people of? ...........church splits?.....not saved?.......corrupt Bibles from Satan?......

.... Or you could just let this dead horse rest in peace, and find something else to be obsessed with.

KJV-onlyism is not a dead horse.

It is a fact that KJV-onlyism is still being presently believed and taught. There are some KJV-only advocates who are members of these forums. There are likely many guests or visitors who visit these forums that have been exposed to KJV-only claims.

Besides all the prior KJV-only books that are still in print, there are some recent new KJV-only books. There are new KJV-only authors who may be attempting to take the place of Peter Ruckman and other older KJV-only authors that have died. KJV-onlyism is still being taught and spread.

It would be great if KJV-onlyism was dead and could be permitted to rest in peace, but that is not the actual reality. It seems that some seek to try to deny reality and pretend something that is not true. Some poster may agree with a vain attempt to deny reality, but that does not make an incorrect claim become true. It would be wrong to attempt to allege that a positive love for the truth and the presenting of truth as supposedly being a negative obsession.

When non-scriptural false teaching is not answered and refuted, it spreads even more.

As you don’t have evidence to support the assumption that KJO’s have no evidence.

How do you know your claim is true?

I have read over 150 books and pamphlets by KJV-only authors so I may know whether they have any sound or scriptural evidence for their view. I have not found any KJV-only book that presents a positive, consistent, clear, sound, true, or scriptural case for a modern KJV-only view.

I am a user and a defender of using the KJV over most modern versions. I have never seen any evidence to justify KJV onlyism.

Well, actually, I DO-that evidence being that all the KJVO "facts" & "evidences" are simply untrue.
Some of them are:
The KJV is perfect. (Proven false long ago; the proof has been presented on this board.)

Psalm 12:6-7 is Scriptural proof for KJVO.(Proven false long ago; again, the proof has been presented on this board.)

The KJV was made from better texts. (NO proof whatsoever!)

The same ole arguments have been used by KJVOs since the 1970s. Everything since then is the same ole garbage in a repainted dumpster, false then, & false now.

Does a poster's appeal to modern movie culture outweigh an appeal to sound Bible doctrine?

Since I do not recall having watched that movie, I do not know what an appeal to it supposedly means. I may be uninformed about modern movie culture.

CT versus TR versus MT versus f35.

The TR has more in common with the MT and f35 than the CT. The KJV used in the NT for the most part the TR.

So am I to assume that you think the CT is the better text?

The Tr and the MT and the CT can all said to be the word of the Lord to us in the original Greek, and any of them can be used to make a valid translation!
