Personal testimony. I was a speaker at Camp Grace and an area pastor involved with the camp was there for the week. Each day he would sit in the dining hall with books/notes to make an "interlinear" English/Greek NT. Since I was well-versed in Greek, he asked questions about the words of the Koine Greek NT.
I said "an interlinear should have the inspired words, then below each, the receptor (English) word exactly. Even if it isn't the best flow in English, since the key is the Greek". He looked at me and said we HAVE those sort of interlinear available. He was going to start "with the inspired KJV - he was using 1769 Oxford over the flawed 1762 Cambridge KJV - and rewrite the Greek text under it, to match the KJV."
Dumbfounded. He went on to school me that in 1611 God did a secondary work preserving the Greek so that a PERFECT ENGLISH BIBLE could be given to the world. The KJV "corrects" the short-comings of the Greek. Then read a text from Jack Hyles (IFB pastor who is guru to the KJVonly sect) that only using the KJV produces genuine converts. It is the true and living seed, and all other translations produce false professions and not real.
I told him that God would judge him for twisting and changing the actual inspired Word of God to a man-made (therefore fallible) translation. And added not to listen to me, since I was saved by preaching thru the 1901ASV, not the KJV, and probably not genuinely saved.
Grrrrr.
