Cool, we disagree. Why should you believe it? Because God said that every word of his will be preserved and is pure. If every word of God is pure, there simply cannot be multiple English versions that are all accurate because they're all different, therefore breaking the purity promise. But you don't believe that the English language has his pure word. So I offered you to debate someone who is adequate to debate you (which I actually stated to do in the OP) but you keep declining out of pride or something.

1. You again make an equation between words of God and a Bible edition. Wrong
2. Your idea of preservation - which were the pure preserved Bibles before the KJV and where are they in other languages like German, Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese etc.
If you believe that only the KJV is preserved, its not a preservation through history and languages but a miraculous unique point in history.

I believe in God. Any Bible edition is compiled, chosen, translated and printed by people. Some are very good and precise, some are so-so and some are bad.
God can use even the bad ones.
If you do not want any man to be your authority, do not use any Bible translation. Read manuscripts directly. This is impossible task. So, I am sorry, you must accept that the Church is a body and we use what others built. We are not individuals living with Bibles fallen from heaven. Church is an organism, one does this, one does that. And yes, we are humans.

and this is why we got all sorts of yoga garbage in our churches today. bcuz of attitude like this. how do u decide what verse is right and what isnt? from da original manuscripts that dont exist. this logic makes the bible as reliable as the writings of any book out there.
"i believe in God" means nothing, so do the devils and every other religion on the planet.

Inspiration of original Scriptures is not an automatic dictation like in spiritism.
There are various kinds of Scriptures:
a) prophecies - I believe these are really very dictated (Isaiah etc)
b) songs, poetry - I believe these are not dictated, only inspired (Psalms, proverbs etc)
c) letters, history books - I believe these are also only inspired, not dictated word for word (Samuel, Kings, Gospels, Paul's letters etc)

Well, you must do some work. You must actually use some sources and study to know what verses are certain, which are probable and which are added later.
Or you can let some scholars to do it for you. Its your choice.
The KJV did not fall from heaven. There was a long process made by people leading to it. And, what a surprise, they did some mistakes.

i gotta check from da original manuscripts. whoops dont have any."Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God"
Mt 4:4
I believe this. But it does not mean you live by reading the KJV translation only.
Every Bible edition that contains words of God as recorded in Scriptures translated in an acceptable way can give you that.
