Hello Lee. While I have long been a KJV advocate, for reasons which I explain
in my series "In Defense Of The KJV", which you can read here...

www.endtimeprophecy.net/EPN-1/GroupPages/grupakjv.html

...nevertheless, even I am willing to admit that the KJV Bible is not a
perfect work. Is it God-inspired? Yes, I do believe that it is; but because
the actual physical work was done by man, and because man is not perfect, then
obviously, human flaws will have crept into the Bible.

But here's the thing -- and again, I explain this in my articles -- what
non-believers cannot apparently understand, is that inspite of the
manipulation of the Bible by both political and religious forces over the
centuries, if we truly believe that God is who He says He is, then we must
also believe that He has been able to preserve the most important essence of
His Word; the central message, of course, being Salvation through Jesus Christ.
