There is
a lot of debate and confusion surrounding the man-made term "King James
Only." It has been popularized in recent years by men who claim they
are concerned about a dangerous and cultic view of the King James Bible.
Rarely do they carefully define the term, though, and as a result a
wide variety of Bible-believing men are given a nebulously-defined
label.
The term “King James Only” was invented by those who oppose the defense of the King James Bible and its underlying original language texts. It was intended to be a term of approbation, and it is usually defined in terms of extremism.
I have been labeled “King James Only” because of my writings on the subject of Bible texts and versions. To set the record straight, let me explain what I believe. I know that this is also what a large number of other King James Bible defenders believe.
