Ahhh, I had to do alot of swimming to get through this thread. It, as always, is alot of the "same old," but ya gotta do it - what's more important than the precious words of God?

So to get to YOUR point.
The
authority for the claim is chiefly the same
authority for any truth - the
Authorized King James Bible, Amen!
You state that you understand and believe in the preservation of the
word of God. You believe that the
word of God is incorruptible (I Pet. 1:23) and, therefore, perfect. If I understand you, your issue is that this said
word of God does not necessarily exist completely and erroneously within one binding. How'm I doin' so far?
What you want is proof (or an explanation) of why we believe, preach, defend, and exalt the King James Bible as being the very
words of God - preserved in purity for us today.
"The proof is in the pudding."
The authority is The Authority.
It really is as simple as this - there is NO PROVEN ERROR within the text of the Authorized King James Bible. You
cannot and
will not find one credible fault with that Book. Because we have found and proven this to be absolutely true, it is plain to the King James Bible believer that that Book is holy - the holy Bible. This can be said of no other book found on our planet today (finding fault with
every other version is elementary - pretty soon my son will be able to do it
).
You prove an error in the Book we believe, and we will all change our minds.
