Rev. Lowery, you're bordering on blasphemy here, and I don't think you want to go there.
Literal English translations fo God's word are 100% accurate in that they all (KJV, NKJV, NASB, etc.) without error convey the gospel, There is not a single legitimate Bible version that contains any differences in doctrine. It is true that there are small differences in each version. The KJV of 1611
was not perfect as you assert, for then there would have been no need for the changes made between 1611 and 1769. The KJVO myth leads you into circular reasoning - pretty soon you're going to catch your own tail!
The KJV 1611, the KJV 1769, the NKJV, the NASB, the MKJV, the AKJV - none perfect in every word, yet they
all completely, accurately and inerrantly convey the word of God to English-speaking people. The belief that the KJV 1611 is the only accurate Bible version limits your faith in God. If you believe God gave us only a single accurate Bible version in English, then you believe God does not have the power to carry His inerrant word through various translations.
If you believe that Psalm 12:6-7 is a promise that God would perfectly preserve His words for all people and you believe that every English Bible version
except the 1611 KJV is flawed, then you believe God broke His promise or that He did not have the power to keep the promise you claim He made. (He didn't promise to preserve the words in this passage - look at it in context. God is promising to preserve the oppressed.)
If you believe the 1611 KJV is the only true word of God and if you carry the 1769 KJV, then you do not carry what you claim is the only true word of God - you contradict your own claims.
Rev. Lowery, I pray that you and others who hold to the KJVO myth will soon begin to see that the KJVO myth is made up of errors and contradictions. You have been shown the truth repeatedly - your next step is to accept the truth. The KJVO myth you hold so dearly is
not the truth - never was, never will be.
Here, let me help you with some of the Bibles that are the accurate and preserved word of God - ASV, NASB, KJV, NKJV, MKJV, AKJV, KJ21, TMB, ESV. The list goes on. All these versions accurately preserve the word of God. Just because a few words are different doesn't mean the thought has changed. If you say these versions are
not the word of God, then you must also include the KJV in the list of versions that are not the word of God. When you falsely claim that God's word
is not God's word, then you blaspheme the word of God. Do you really want to go there?
