This is something short, just to inform you about the KJV and the modern translations (which are corrupt).

The Authorized King James 1611 is God's word in the English language. The King James was translated from the Received Text. The modern translations were translated from the Alexandrian Text. (Chapter 1)

What is the Received Text? "The line of ancient manuscripts and documents from which the King James Version was translated. The overwhelming majority of existing manuscript evidence is from this line. This is the line of manuscripts that christians loyal to the Bible have accepted and preserved from the earliest days. It is also known as the Majority Text" (Chapter 1).

What are the Alexandrian Manuscripts? Those are the texts that are used for the modern translations. They were copies "descending from certain early scholars of Alexandria, Egypt, and their disciples who followed after them, and those of their general persuasions." There are two manuscripts used almost exclusively for all other versions than the KJV; they are the they are "Sinaiticus" and "Vaticanus," named for where they were discovered in the last century. (They are also known as the Sinaitic and Vatican). Those who used the Received Text had access to the these two Alexandrian manuscripts, but rejected them as corrupt. Many are made to believe that there were more manuscripts then those, but in reality there are not. What about the manuscripts that came about in the recent years? The Dead sea scrolls is one; I know not of any others. The Dead sea scrolls agreed with what the KJV 1611 said.

Here is a short quotation from Chapter 2 of the book cited:

"For 1800 years, Rummager manuscripts were trashed by Bible believers.

You may have heard it said that the KJV translators did not have access to those manuscripts. (Often erroneously called 'better mss' in the margin of your Bible). The fact is that the KJV translators and their forerunners for centuries before rejected, trashed and probably burned similar manuscripts because they were so obviously corrupt. One of those supposedly 'better mss' was actually found in an ancient equivalent of a garbage can on Mt. Sinai. Westcott and Hort examined the garbage and proclaimed it pristine, and baptized the worms as holy. The other of the two manuscripts, which all versions but the KJV 1611 are based upon, was found in Rome's Vatican library. Thus, the one is labeled Vaticanus, and the other Sinaiticus.

Yes, those are the reeking, rotted rags your Greek text is probably based upon, and that is why we say it is an inferior Greek. But, even if you have a copy of a compilation of the honest Greek texts, called the Textus Receptus, neither you nor anyone else can improve upon the KJV translation of those honest Greek texts."

Here are some verse of God's perfect perservation:

“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” (Psalm 138:2)

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” (Proverbs 30:5-6)

1 Peter 1:23 “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth forever.”

Psalm 12:6-7 “The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever.”

Psalm 111:7-8 "The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness."

Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."

Ps. 117:2 "... the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord."

Ps. 119:152 "Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever."

Ps 119:160 “Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.”

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

HIS WORD HAS BEEN KEPT AVAILABLE TO EACH AND EVERY GENERATION

-Psalm 33:11 “The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”

-Psalm 100:5 “For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

-Ps 119:89-90 “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.”

-Isaiah 59:21 “As for me this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not pass out of the 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 forever.”

You can cleary see in God's word that he promised to perserve and keep his words forever. If we do not have his word, then God is a lair.

God also commanded that we obey his word (Deuty. 11:27,28; 4:40; 6:17; 26:18; Joh. 22:5; 1 Kings 2:3; Ps. 78:7; 1 John 3:5; Revelation 14:12). How could a layman (common man) understand God's word if it is in a language he does not comprehend? The KJV 1611 was translated perfect into the English language, and we do not need to know any Greek or Hebrew to know what God said. We have his word in English which any comman man is able to understand, and that Bible has been used to translate Bibles into other languages. If we do not have his word, then God is being unfair in telling us to obey every command of it. So if the Authorized King James 1611 is not God's word [in the English language] then we do not have it.
