What about the Bible in other languages? Do they base their translation on the KJV?

The ones that are translated from the KJV...And that happens to be most all of the Protestant translations...

There are two lines of manuscripts extant...One line originated from the area of Antioch, Syria where people were first called Christians...

There are 5,500 plus of those manuscripts that agree with each other over 95% of the time...Those are the manuscripts that were used to write the KJV...The Dead Sea Scroll manuscripts almost exclusively match those KJV sourced manuscripts...

The other line of manuscripts one which all other English bibles come from and are Catholic bibles...The manuscripts from those bibles originated in Africa...They are called the Septuagint...

There are approximately 250 of those manuscripts extant...They disagree with each other in over 3000 places...Portions of those manuscripts have been erased and words put in their place...Words have been written over...They are covered with notes from many different authors...

Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Did God lie??? I don't think so...I believe God preserved his words in the English language thru the English speaking people...God used that bible to bring about the Reformation bringing untold hundreds of millions of people to God thru Jesus Christ...That bible has been translated into more foreign languages and distributed thru out the world more than all the other bibles combines...

I can't prove that bible is the word of God that God preserved...But I don't have to...In fact, it's better that I can't...

In addition to Sola Scriptura we have Sola King James, and yet your Protestant/Evangelical brethren have forsaken the King James (Authorized) Version for evey new version sold under the sun. It is irrational to imagine that almost fifteen and sixteen centuries passed since the Ascension of the LORD Jesus Christ into to heaven until the Christian Religions was "re-formed" and a pure Bible was translated under the authority of King James to be preserved in English. Yet if the "re-formation" of the Christian Religion did not have a pure Bible, did not have true Apostles, and did not exist from the First Century until this very hour, then the "re-formation" is illegitimate, as is Mormonism.
