That is a put down which is also false. .....
. Indeed they claimed that the English language was molded by the KJB! Hollywood quoted exclusively from this Bible in its films, and even the Jewish Publication Society (JPS) originally used the OT translation of the KJB for its own publication, called the JPS Tanakh (1917). Here is what they said in their Preface "...We are, it is hardly needful to say, deeply grateful for the works of our non-Jewish predecessors, such as the Authorised Version with its admirable diction, which can never be surpassed..." That speaks for itself.

Denzel Washington's character brought a mysterious Book across the country on foot. It was revealed at the end what it was.
Warner Bros, if I remember correctly, did not want the film released with the christian influences. That's when Denzel decided to become the controlling producer to change the script to reflect his Christian views.
It's not a movie that's going to be featured in any Christian listing, but it brought me to tears for what Denzel decided to add to the story.
(Spoiler alert....last scene)

On Preservation of the words of God
Isah. 59:21b "...and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever."
His words shall not depart. They are said to be forever.
Isah. 59:21b "...and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever."
His words shall not depart. They are said to be forever.

There is only one small fringe group I have ever heard of who believe that, so I agree with you both on that point.
Although they were not inspired, the 54 scholars who were the translators on the KJ Holy Bible committee far exceeded the lot I've heard tear it down in my lifetime. That goes for common taters 🥔🍠...
former pastors and their fellowship leaders.
I can't forget James White.
It looks like you and a couple others might be interested in the work of a Vaticanus scholar & paleographer. He says something revealing from 5:50-+...

The KJV does not name the 5800 manuscripts and fragments in extant. (Nor did the KJV scholars have access to all of them) You will have to do some research to discover them and then you will need to learn Greek to read them. About 3 years of NT Greek will enable you to read them for yourself. And you can then know what they say. Googling it will set you on the path to find images of them to look at.

That's your opinion, I disagree, and that's not my point anyway.
"Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
"Thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever."
Preserve FROM THIS GENERATION.
They (whether words or people) have been preserved FROM a wicked generation.
The verse does NOT say that "God has preserved His words"... no matter how much you want it to say that. I honestly believe that you are unable to see or comprehend the three words I have bolded, because they completely undermine your position.

And even where the word gives two different ages for Ahaziah when he started his reign.
2 Kings 8:26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
2 Chronicles 22:2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Certain KJVo's hold to some convoluted two-step of an explanation that treats the plain text like a puzzle to be solved instead of clear evidence of contradiction... and therefore of imperfection.

Pretty sure he will, if he makes it there.
Only One King in Heaven, and His name isn't James.
Actually, you completely misinterpreted what I said, so all this is moot anyway. I was demonstrating how foolish it was to attack the KJV, but if throwing me under the train furthers your cause, ...whatever.
Nothing personal. Let's get back on focus now.

I'm sure that if he is saved and is with Christ now. He knows he is a wretched sinner and if he were aware of any mention of his earthly works, he knows that they are but filthy rags and would shed many tears in sorrow. And Jesus would wipe them away saying ," I turned your wretched works to be for the good of my people, so rest easy in me". Or something to that affect.
