1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Believers are born again by the BIBLE. How can we be born again of incorruptible seed if our bible is corrupt?
You're not increasing your faith when you examine those things and make an "educated decision", you are removing yourself further and further from the simple self evident truth. The bible doesn't tell us to study the concordances to show ourselves approved. The words of the bible FORM the Christ in us, that is the 2nd birth. There's not a little Jesus man living in us, the spirit of Christ IS THE INERRANT WORD OF GOD, dwelling within this HUMAN BODY, the BODY OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST.
The Spirit of Christ isn't corrupt in any language but there are many, many COUNTERFEIT CHRIST's in all languages. And when you pick the saying's of this spirit of antichrist, and the sayings of that spirit of antichrist and mix that with the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, you ARE NOT keeping God's word.
You are believing and teaching others to believe that the Spirit of Christ is corrupt, incomplete, in a state of disarray and that it's up to the believer to fix it.
Just so that you understand where I'm coming from. I'm say that the BIBLE is the Spirit of Christ, we are the BODY of Christ because that Spirit of Christ (the bible) lives within us.

That means the mouth of God did not exist until Scriptures began to be written. I would have to disagree with that. Now, if you were to say instead that the mouth of God was His Living Eternal Word, that would be different. I can jive with that 
The Living Word pre-existed His physical incarnation. I know you know this Instead of medium, I would say "agency." Agency: a thing or person that acts to produce a particular result. Everything that exists came into being through Jesus.

You're right medium does sound a little "new agee".
The other entries for the word medium do suggest a more physical substance.-

I prefer the NKJV but only because I have used the KJV/NKJV since I first was introduced to Church when I was like 5. But not because it is a superior version, God can use any of the mainstream versions to share his word, if We want a deeper study, we need to go deeper into the word by looking at the original languages anyway

People can't even make up their minds which manuscript line is the right line. I don't know how that could be the gold standard and I don't see how that keeping God's words.
If we were talking about the blueprints for Solomon's temple and two sets of blueprints existed, each giving different dimensions and one had rooms that didn't exist in the other blueprint, how would we know which blueprint was "inspired" by God?
The inspired blueprint is the one that reflects the image of Christ.

I just gave you an example from Luke 2:17, it's in the post you quoted here. It is a mistake that affects theology.
Do you believe in universalism, where everyone gets saved, no matter what people do, they are saved even if they don't believe in Christ!? That is what the KJV says in this verse.
Or do you believe that God gives his peace to those who love him? This is biblical theology. God gives his peace to those that are truly saved. No universalism at all. "And in earth, peace towards men of good will." IOW, to have good will means you follow God, and that you are saved. The first case, is caused by an extra letter on the word eudokia, the genitive case, found in most translations, versus eudokias, the nominative case which supports universalism. So Greek pinpoints the error in the KJV, which because of a passed down letter, sigma, which appeared in the later Byzantine manuscripts. Universalism is a heresy, and I don't believe the KJV translators really thought through the large implications of adding a sigma and turning it to the nominative case to the genitive case.l, with no universalism.
Here is the link which it explains what I am talking about. The Greek proves the mistake of the added sigma, which changes a piece of normal theology into a heresy.

Read it carefully. If it didn't change doctrine, to a heresy, I would not worry about it. Instead, the KJV has improperly translated, or the manuscripts were corrupted, and they are wrong . KJV = 0 Greek = 1!
In conclusion, because of a copyist's error in writing down like 2, it was translated in a way that is heretical. The is a very small error, with great impact.

You just keep using circular logic, and go no where.
The KJV, for no known reasons is the inspired blueprint that reflects the image of Christ or the imago dei.
Therefore we must use the KJV to confirm every word, because it is perfect. But an error in Luke 2:17, has been found which is one added letter, sigma, which changed a genitive noun to a nominative case noun, as per the KJV. The KJV literally says that God's peace is on everyone's, which is universalism. The older manuscripts, closer to the original autographs, literally says God's favour rests on men of good will, or the saved, only.
So you KJV falls short of perfection, and teaches heresy because of the added sigma at the end of eudokia.
To show you what I mean:
"The inspired blueprint is the one that reflects the image of Christ." Because we have shown the KJV is wrong in one verse in Luke 2, it cannot be the correct blueprint. Instead, the original languages reflect the image of God, and they are the gold standard which are right, not the KJV with errors.
Got it?

I don't understand the supposed problem. In Luke 2:10 the angel brings good news of great joy to ALL PEOPLE.
Luke 2:14 is the details of the good news.
Is Luke 2:10 wrong also?
Luk 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
