Right, and the non-Scriptural KJVO myth is an example of it.

I sympathize with your sentiment but the alternative to a perfect word, which seems to be no restraints and anything goes, has not been proven.
There is no perfect translation
The KJV is far-from-perfect, as has been shown numerous times on this site.
Were it actually “far from” I would suggest that we not use it.
As several on the BB (who appear to be most against it) have said, it is a good translation. I would suggest that it is not “far from.”
Just sit down with an expert on Koine Greek, and an Old Hebrew expert and analyze the KJV's goofs & booboos. You'll be amazed !
So your contention is that the KJV is so far from God’s Word that it shouldn’t be called that. You think that people who read and follow what a KJV says are going to Hell?
Not what you meant?
Then it really is not that far from perfect. If people spent as much time building themselves up in the version that they preferred, instead of tearing down other versions, they would be much better off.
I’m not saying that the Book of Mormon is acceptable if you just apply it. There are some versions that are not worth spending time in. But generally speaking, probably what you are using and what I am using are just fine.
The only thing worse than KJVO-ism is “anything other than KJV”-ism.
