However you make this whole issue seem too simple. It in fact is not. Even KJV only people write long books and work through many different details and points in coming to their positions. How, may I ask, do we just assume that "we have it in the KJV"? Does this mean that the Geneva Bible didn't have it, since it differs in many, many words from the KJV? And what about the fact that the KJV differs from all known Greek and Hebrew texts/manuscripts in some places, and that it differs from the TR and the Hebrew Masoretic Text in places. Which guide is infallible? Which are the "every words"? Jonathan,

When the Lord said that WE...MUST live by EVERY word of God, then we must. We have it in the KJV. Thus, the silly branding name used by apostate James White of "King James Onlyism!" God bless his word and words! I believe the KJV is the PERFECT word of God. When the Lord said that WE…MUST live by EVERY word of God, then we must. We have it in the KJV.

Check out this response I put together to Brandenburg’s response to my first post over at Sharper Iron on the thread I link to in this post.

It includes some more discussion of errors in the TR and KJV which present difficulties for the every word available in one book viewpoint.

Having been on the other side of the fence, I can say everything appears so clear to them. Their position is not demanded from Scripture but they feel like it is! It is difficult to reason with them. I hope this post might help some of them see daylight. Rob,

The KJV only'ers certainly do have some problems with their reasoning. I often think of something I was reading, where an extreme KJV only guy wrote (I will paraphrase) that 'anybody who has knowledge of the issues regarding KJV-onlyism, and <I>still</I> reads a version different than the KJ, is not a Christian.' I have often wondered what would happen if, and may it not happen, some day the government disallowed Bibles, and as such rounded them all up. What if some KJV-only person could only get an NIV to read? Would they read it? What would they do? Rob Good synopsis of the issues.
