The question is not about KJB. It's about any Bible now.

It's easy to believe in the "authority" of something [originals] that doesn't exist. That doesn't take faith nor requires accountability. There is no "authority" to something that doesn't even exist.

The heretic Bart Ehrman is at least consistent: if preservation is not true, then inspiration of the originals is a moot point: if God didn't preserve perfectly, then he didn't inspire perfectly.

Duh.

This teaching is the logical end point of the denial of a perfectly preserved Bible (I didn't say KJB) and it is now being taught to the new generation in Christian institutions.

Those heretics will be your children, for you deniers of any perfect preservation have fathered them.

The issue is regarding how God preserves His immutable word. Psalms 119:89, "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven." And what God requires of us, Luke 4:4, "That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."

Perhaps you misunderstand or misinterpret "every word". William Tyndale and the other English Bible translators did not understand Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 to mean that they had to make an every-word perfect Bible translation.

In some of their 1611 marginal notes, the KJV translators even acknowledged that they did not provide an English rendering or word for every original-language word of Scripture in their underlying texts.

KJOnlyism has never made sense to me. I saw a reason the KJV was likely the better Bible, looking up references at issue using a Nestle's (not Aland) Greek NT in 1968.

Many see the Nkjv as being a better revision of kjv!

What entitles you to put words in the mouths of others that they do not state?

Perhaps you assume incorrectly or jump to wrong conclusions.

Did any Christians hold to the KJVO viewpoint of any translation being perfect, as it was always seen as just the Originals as being perfect!

Imagine a Muslim forum where the majority-and-Orthodox Muslims pride themselves in stating that there is no perfect Qur'an anywhere.

Welcome to modern American Christianity where Orthodoxy is denying the perfection of the Bible.

The serpent prevails again, Eve.

No Christians until KJVO arose claimed perfection for translations!

If only the originals are perfect, how can we trust the Word of God at all when the manuscripts we have are preserved copies and we don't have the originals?

God protected and preserved to and for us thru all of those manuscripts, lectionaries, variants, etc His word unto us, as we have very close to what was Originally written down!

This perfection applies only towards the originals
