Yes, today man is faced with a continual raging war on God’s Word. It has increased in spiritual and physical intensity. However, since the beginning, God has given mankind the necessary armor (Ephesians chapter 6) to withstand this raging battle. God told us in His Word that His Words are pure words: Psalm 12:6-7 (KJB) The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. God said He would preserve His words forever. Not just keep them for a time, for a few days, or several years, but that He would preserve them. This statement means that it is provable, or attestable that God’s Word will last for all time. There is no need to change, delete, or replace words that God Himself introduced and intentioned to last forever. God’s words supernatural. They are powerful and piercing words having a razor’s edge that can move a man to agree with God (Hebrews 4:12) or to depart from Truth away from God. Satan Claims there are Laundry List of Blunders in God’s Word. However, his agenda is the only thing that can benefit from the myriad of Bible versions, revisions and copyrights, readily available for sale in this world. In other words, Satan esteems his own words while asserting that the Word of God is filled with errors, mere suggestions, complicated expectations, and ultimately is a pile of worthless words which are archaic and impractical for our use today.
However, God made our minds with a unique ability to capture data, store it, and put it into play in our daily lives. He included a divine well inside our heart for the purpose of storing His Word (Psalm 119:11) to protect against sin, for our spiritual maturity, in the sowing of seeds, and for encouraging and edifying others.
What about The KJV?
However, this same well can harbor and collect wicked words and thoughts by natural accumulation at work inside every spiritually lost heart who is following satan and his so-called bibles rather than God. “I have not forgotten thy law…” as was recorded in Psalm 119:61. David buried the Word of God in his heart, as God instructs in Psalm 119:11, and was not at all bothered or moved by wickedness at work in this world. Psalm 119:140 (KJB) Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. Undefiled, perfect, perfectly preserved. Each child of God must learn to discern that which is spiritual from that which is natural of this world. Knowing is the difference between life and death and the location of one’s future eternal address.

What About the King James Version? 2 Timothy 2:13-17 (KJB) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. God’s Word tells us in the above scripture that His Word can be rightly divided, studied, and that His Truth can be plainly understood. Realizing this, a man should not be endlessly striving about words, definitions, or terms for God has given us all that we need to divide and apply His Word rightly. Indeed, you understand that doing so takes discernment, time for study, and most of all a right personal relationship with God. A Spiritual Bootcamp A man or woman of God must choose to put themselves through a “Spiritual Bootcamp” of sorts to come to terms with God’s Truth and what they want to believe about the King James Only controversy. For any person who might attempt to stand in line at a modern biblical buffet choosing to “mix and match” or hodgepodge
together, a variant mix of these newer versions will most certainly fall from his precarious perch upon the gray fence shallowly planted in this world. He will likely make a face plant, injuring himself spiritually, and perhaps remain jilted in his heart forever. From an external viewpoint perhaps, it would seem as if any arguments for the use of the King James Bible only can add up to following a cult stance, or a belief system, which is spiritually faulty. At first glance, it seems to require separation in a way or direction that God never intended a man to establish in his life while he sojourns in this world. Alternatively, maybe you believe that in the long term, choosing the King James Version over any other available version is rather profoundly unimportantly and makes no discernable difference today or in the eternal realm in your relationship with God. The King James Only Bible controversy is delicately unfolded, rightly divided, and made sensible by any person in faith inside a right relationship with God choosing to study His spiritual “meat and potatoes” easily digested by digging into God’s Word. It is true! God has given mankind all that he needs to successfully navigate through the heap of Bible versions and rest on the solid Truth found within the pages of The King James Bible. Satan was the first to take a trip on the
version bandwagon. He parlayed God’s Word into a clever-sounding spiritual fillet bursting forth with his agenda. Yes, Satan sliced and diced God’s Words into reflecting the wicked condition of his own heart rather than illuminating and reverberating with truth of God in speaking to Eve, choosing to dazzle her with bold lies. She, not being intimately familiar with God’s Word, fell for satan’s congenial exhibition of words, believing it to be what God said. The problem was two-fold, satan changed up God’s Word and affectionately spoon-fed Eve a delicious meal of lies. Her memory was tainted concerning what God had said and she fell for his lies. Sadly, many today are digesting satan’s lies for they, too, are not familiar with scripture. This is true even with numerous copies of God’s Word in the King James Version available to read and study. The Bible is clear that departing from the faith begins with consuming wrong words and doctrine. Doing so adversely influences a lost or a wayward spirit in man. It multiplies evil and consciousness are far removed from God as time continues to wind down. 1 Timothy 4:1-2 (KJB) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.
