"God said He'd preserve His word (even if He used humans). If it contains errors, you are accusing God of the errors." AMEN!!!

I had a NASB bible that had a typo in it -- withdrawn was spelled withdrawm. What if the men who were responsible for the KJV [or any other translation] did similarly? They didn't have spell-check. Does such an error invalidate the translation as a whole?

When we say without errors, we are ofcourse, excluding typos and other such errors.

One version of the King James came out (1613) with thou shalt commit adultery instead of 'shall shalt not'.

That is known as the 'wicked bible' and the printers were heavily fined for their mistake

When we speak of the King James being error free we are talking about its text, not notes and other man made additions.
