Here is an important event I should have included in the 1990s. It caused a big stir at the time. 1998—Pensacola Christian College (PCC) hosts an “Enrichment Conference” with Dell Johnson, the head of their new seminary, and Lutheran Theodore Letis. In the conference, Bob Jones University (BJU)...

2000s Throughout first decade of the new century, D. A. Waite and The Bible for Today produce many short works, including defenses against Bob Jones U. (Bob Jones University’s Inconsistent Position, 2000) and Central Baptist Theological Seminary (Central Seminary Refuted On Bible Versions...

We can add this to the 2000s 2008--Life Bible-Presbyterian Church (LBPC) launched a lawsuit against the Far Eastern Bible College (FEBC), which is one of an extremely few non-US bastions of KJV-Only doctrine, and is connected to the Dean Burgon Society. This college is Bible Presbyterian, a...

There is a Japanese NT version that divides the writings of Paul into two sections: "The Epistles of Paul," and "Epistles Purporting to be by Paul." It was translated by liberals. The idea that one can reject Paul's teaching, even some of it, is thus a liberal idea and false. Someone might...

John's Map to Heaven These are the verses I used for personal evangelism sometimes in Japan. As can be seen, the Gospel is clear and no different from Paul's Gospel. 1:1-3 Jesus is God 3:16 God loves you 3:19-20 We are sinners and lost 19:17-18 Christ died on the cross for us 20:6-8 and...

I see you got to John 20:31 before me. Good job!

I'm amazed at the direction this thread took. John specifically stated that his Gospel was written with the purpose of telling people how to believe in Christ: "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through...

Update from a friend: Since then, Hudson has apostasized and become an atheist, running a guitar shop in Florida. Kutilek continues serving the Lord in many capacities.

1990s This is a big decade for the KJV-Only movement. Some very influential books are published by Waite and a new author, Gail Riplinger. It is also a big decade for those who oppose the movement. Several major works are published by those in opposition. 1990-1992--Gary R. Hudson and Doug...

The KJV says in Psalm 119:89 that there are originals: "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven." Now can we get back to the timeline as the OP asks?

The KJV says in Exodus 22:28, "Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people." This is an error. The correct translation is, "Thou shalt not revile the judges." I have many times reviled the gods of Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto. And we should. God Himself often does so in...

1970s The great majority of Fundamentalists still use other versions and avoid or ignore the growing controversy. Throughout the 1970s until his death in 1980, John R. Rice writes various articles in the Sword of the Lord opposing Ruckmanism. For this he earned the opprobrium of early KJV-ONLY...

Thanks for all the information, but it's a little complicated for my simple timeline. :) I'll see what I can incorporate.

Thank you. That is helpful.

Next corrected installment: 20th Century to 1970 1930—Seventh Day Adventist Benjamin Wilkinson publishes Our Authorized Version Vindicated. An abbreviated version will later be included in the book edited by David Otis Fuller, Which Bible? 1955—Jasper James Ray writes God Only Wrote One Bible...

You could say that. My view is that there wasn't actually a movement launched until 1970, though there were individuals who were KJV-Only before that.

I'm essentially done with the timeline now, so I'll post it a section at a time for your final perusal as I am able to proofread it. I do still need to comment in the last section on foreign KJV-Only organizations, which are very rare. Note that this is copyrighted material. You may use it...

We must distinguish between revelation and witness. Hypothetical: Say a missionary preaches the Gospel to an unreached tribe. If the tribe told him later he was speaking in their language when he was speaking in his own, that would be biblical tongues, but not revelation. Revelation is when one...

Fair enough.

Not really. "Accurate" and "Inerrant and inspired" are two totally different concepts. Something can be "accurate" and still have errors. In fact, I personally believe that the KJV is an accurate translation, but I am certainly not KJV-Only. I read from the NKJV, the ESV, the Japanese...
