The King James gives you the exact words that God wants you to have.

You're declaring which words the Almighty wants me to hear. Uh-huh. Brushing aside the incredibly imperious, "holier-than-thou", condescending, sanctimonious and imposing aspects of that notion, I'll just note that not everyone, even in this country, speaks English... and that He probably couldn't care less which language you hear His message in just as long as you hear it... and that there's a thing or two about PRIDE in that Version, and being so prideful as to speak as an authority for Him and His linguistic preferences seems like it would apply.

The King James is the perfect Bible for English speaking people.

Other, non-English speaking people have the Bible in their own languages, either from translations of the King James or from the TR.
