I have a BA in Bible from an Assembly of God University and MA in Christian Counseling from a Fundamentalist Baptist College. As an ordained Southern Baptist, I consider myself extremely conservative in theology, as well as in the political arena. Many, if not most in the SBC would consider me radical and far right. I see many problems, yes even apostasy in much of the modern day church, and am quick to point it out. With that said, from my personal experience, many who are fanatical in the arena of King James Version only can border on being almost cultic at heart. I am yet to find a KJV only fanatic provide me with chapter and verse which demonstrates the KJV is the only version that can truly defined as the word of God. Are there some poor versions of the Scripture — you bet they are! I also believe there are some versions which are equally divine, and perhaps a couple that are better for those who read modern day English.

King-James-only-ism is a form of Anglo-Israelism. It's simple logic.

Why else would the only authentic bible (which shows up two thousand years after the founding of the religion) be in seventeenth century English (and in no other language on earth, including the original Biblical languages) and be named after King James? Maybe he was the Davidic monarch, eh?
