They don't exist, that's my point. The originals don't exist so copies of originals can't be authenticated against them. We are only left with forensic evidence for accuracy.
The validity of manuscript evidence is not tested in a court of law and therefore the charge of "hearsay" is completely without relevance.
hearsay
[ heer-sey ]SHOW IPA
SEE SYNONYMS FOR hearsay ON THESAURUS.COM
noun
unverified, unofficial information gained or acquired from another and not part of one's direct knowledge:I pay no attention to hearsay.
an item of idle or unverified information or gossip; rumor:
We are left with a mountain of physical evidence in the form of manuscripts. Yes, they are copies, but the copies can be compared to determine which is the most likely original wording. That's the science of textual criticism.
Providing the definition of hearsay does not do anything to establish its relevance to this topic.
That is my point also
Based on this alone, you should see you cannot claim the KJV is the only pure English translation.
Simply because you cannot know what the originals actually said.
You can’t even figure out which verses belong in the Bible and which don’t. A mountain of opinions isn’t a science.

I think you’re under the impression that hearsay only exists in a court of law. It doesn’t, it exists everywhere.
Since when was the KJV the standard measure against which to test other translations?
Also, the KJV was printed under the 17th-century equivalent of a copyright, so your first argument is moot.
Please do some more research instead of repeating long-refuted arguments.
In the other thread I brought up the different resurrections between the two translations. Which one is the right one?As do others using different translations
Christ isn’t double minded, one of those is of Christ and the other isn’t.
It's not the standard for measurement, it meets the standard for being God's word.
As do others using different translations
The KJV does not have a monopoly on this
Amen...
It is kind of like saying " Only reading the KJV bible brings the good news of Salvation , you won`t find the good news in any other bible "

There's way more to the Christian life than making it in by the skin of your teeth.
I posted the verses in that post, both the KJV and the NASB, they preach two different resurrections.

What does that mean?
