So, all the native Japanese, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog etc. speakers are at a disadvantage having to go through an extra translation process to read the 1611? Doesn't that strike you as being a bit unfair on God's part to tap only the English 1611 as the 'perfect unadulterated translation'?

Exactly! Sadly that is a reality for many today. Many Christians are not Bereans, because they do not seriously study the Holy Scriptures. They just rather not contend for the truth and if the preacher is wrong in an area, they rather just overlook it. What also is very sad today is the average, modern day Christian's attitude toward the Scriptures. Brother G. Jon Rov made a profound and yet true statement on one of his recent Above God's Name episodes where he stated that:
"Again, the realization of Satan is that everything has to do with the word of God. That's how critical the word of God is. That's all he (Satan) cares about; really, is the word of God. he (Satan) cares about it more than Christians do."
Now that is quite a statement! I am sure what brother G. Jon Rov meant by that more specifically is that Satan cares more about the Scriptures than the average Christian today does. That is, considering the fact that the attitude of today's average Christian is apathetic and lukewarm, toward the Holy Bible. They just do not care. I mean just look at how many Christians in this one thread of mine alone, who have already said that they are not going to bother to "watch the video" or that the video was a "waste of time." And they are saying that about a video dealing with one of the most important subject matters ever. Imagine that! For a Christian to say that reveals a lot about them. One of the things it reveals about them is that they really have lost their love for the truth. This is very tragic.
And this is a sad reality today concerning the average Christian and their absolutely wicked, apathetic, not interested attitude toward the infallible word of the living God. The apostasy in Christendom is really this bad. It is no wonder Jesus Christ said the following concerning His Second Coming and Return to the Earth:
Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the Earth? (Luke 18:8b)
The Original Autographs indeed no longer exist. Yet though, concerning your question, Crossnote, where you asked How is that so. This is how. By simply putting faith in God to keep His promise to preserve His word.
If God began His work of inspiration through penning down the Original Autographs through holy men of His, don't you think that God would continue to have His hand upon the entire process of the preservation, and translation of His holy word?
Think about it, Crossnote. At what point did God take His hand off of His word? At what point did God remove His hand from the process of inspiring, preserving, purifying, and translating His holy word, the Scriptures?
If God started the process, why do so many Christians today think that He would not finish it? Why do many Christians today think that God would somehow show indifference toward finishing His Bible?
