Inerrancy is believed to be present in other English translations also, though not by KV-onlyists.
The Wicked Bible, sometimes called the Adulterous Bible or the Sinners' Bible, is an edition of the Bible published in 1631 by Robert Barker and Martin Lucas, the royal printers in London, meant to be a reprint of the King James Bible. It was not inerrant

All bible version are not equal and this is a prime example.
Daniel 12:2
King James Version
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:2
New American Standard Bible
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting [a]contempt.
In the KJV many that sleep in the ground shall awake. Of those that awake, some of them will be raised to eternal life and some to everlasting contempt.
In the NASB many that sleep in the ground shall awake. And those that awake will be raised to everlasting life but the others who didn't awake, they will be will be raised at ANOTHER TIME to everlasting contempt.
Two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT messages. Which one is right?

The issue I I have with this Pastor Mike is he spent so much time attacking even people who call friends. Then set the stage for what was to be and KJV's only position not really addressing Manuscripts but more translations of the bible other than the KJV. Which I found odd because the Textus receptus which all from the Tyndale bible 1534 to the KJV 1611 were from the Latin Vulgate translated into English.
from 1534 to 1611 between that were the following Bible:
from 1534 to 1611 between that were the following Bible:
- Coverdale Bible 1535
- Matthew's Bible 1537
- The Great bible 1539
- The Geneva Bible 1560
- Bishop Bible 1568
- the KJV 1611
- Desiderius Erasmus 1516-1535 Catholic Priest
- Robert Estienne known as Stephanus 1546-1551 support many of Calvin's writings
- Theodore Beza 1519-1605 a disciple of John Calvin

I am still trying to figure out how any bible, written in a flawed language which can not stand up to the perfections and intricacies of the Greek or even Hebrew language, can be deemed as flawless.
it is impossible to make a word for word interpretation of anything from one language to the next, if the language in which it is being translated from is far superior to a language it is being translated to. In order to make a more accurate translation, you would have to translate words which are more complex, or have rules which are NT found in the new language in phrases, because the new language does not have a word which can adequately or precisely interpret the word, hence pin order to have a word for word translation you would by defenition have a flawed translation
of course, if you have people breaking the word into phrases, you do not have a word for word bible, which leads to other issues, and would come under slack because it is not a word for word but a person’s interpretations of what he thinks the word says, which in the KJV only cults view, would make it no better than the NIV or NASB,

The earlier the copies are, the closer they are to what was originally told us of God. Anything that man has added takes from God, including Gnosticism that Paul addresses. The additions started that early.
The dead sea scrolls are the oldest copies of scripture found and many translations we have today have adjusted their scripture, making note of the adjustments, to comply with these scrolls.

If we read the KJV as the perfect word, we accept the prevailing thought about the Jews at the time it was written. They were murdering them in Spain, and nothing was done to stop it. As a reflection of this, the word Passover in the KJV was translated as Easter. That word was not from the Lord, it was created by men.
Every translation is a translation of the original language done by men. They tried their best to translate the KJV well, and the KJV reflects that, it is wonderful. But no man is perfect, only God.

I think if we pray a lot and have a real desire to Learn his word and seek it prayerfully , and importantly for a lot
Of us humbly , not thinking we know better but looking to learn from the master
then I think it’s not as important which particular version or language because God is able to Communicate his word to those who are seeking him in Christ’s name in the world.
Mostly the scriptures from different versions carry the relative same message , I believe in Gods power to reach us when we’re reaching for him if we ask we will receive and wisdom is only a humble request away
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.”
James 1:5-7 KJV
to have faith we need to hear and believe his word
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:
we can’t ask for wisdom unless we hear the word saying “ ask for wisdom if you lack it and God will give it liberally “ and we won’t ask if we don’t believe what we have heard .
everything is by faith and faith is always based upon his word salvation is about hearing and believing I think the details are important but also I don’t feel like mans mistakes or even mans plots are able to keep Gods word , from believers so any bible someone is reading carries the message of salvation I believe
besides people talke different. Use different words understand different phrases so
Maybe it’s good there’s a few different versions and wordings just my two cents or at least cent and a half
