That is a very interesting article. And yes, if only the English speaking people were given the "true" Word of G-d, it is only simple logic to infer that they are "Israel."

I'm surprised that the people the article criticizes merely want to "revise" non-English translations of the Bible rather than advocating that every man, woman, and child on earth learn seventeenth century Jacobean English.

All that being said, while I am (naturally) opposed to KJV-onlyism, every culture has a bible that it thinks is "superior" to all others (the Greek Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, the Armenian--even the Aramaic Targumim). Rural America has the same right to this worldview as any other people (if such right exists at all), but to exalt the translation above the original is the height of absurdity.

Finally, I think that Primitive Baptists also insist on the KJV, and I don't think they are influenced by the people the article mentions, though I could be wrong.

Not all Baptists who insist on KJV are influenced by the bad teachers and are some of the most wonderful people you will ever meet. The article by Kutilek does not condemn the KJV but those who are bad teachers. The guy from this Church is a disciple of Jack Hyles and is definitely off-base.
