Dave Reese declared: “The Lord Jesus Christ will not allow one of His Words to pass away” (The Book No One Can Read, p. 2). Caleb Garraway asserted: “Don’t lessen, remove, or withhold anything from what God has given” (Pure Words, p. 282). Caleb Garraway wrote: “God promised to preserve every word—we either have it or we do not have it, and those manuscripts that do not contain it are corrupted” (p. 117). D. A. Waite wrote: “We have no right to subtract anything from the Word of God” (Defending the KJB, p. 92). D. A. Waite wrote: “It’s not faithful if it ADDS to the Word of God.

In volume one of his commentary on the book of Psalms, Peter Ruckman asked: “What is the point in ‘verbal plenary inspiration’ if you are going to lose the words on purpose?” (p. 70).

One can take these very own words and assertions made by KJV-only authors and demonstrate that a consistent application of them would in effect disprove or refute their own exclusive only claims for the KJV. Does the KJV actually provide English words for all words in its underlying original-language texts of Scripture as some KJV-only authors clearly suggested or directly asserted? How does the KJV keep intact or preserve by accurate or inerrant translation those original-language words of Scripture for which it gives no English word/rendering? Does the KJV actually have each and every original-language word of Scripture accurately or perfectly translated into English when it has no English rendering for many of them?
