This is ridiculous. The whole refined 7 times verse is taken out of context for starters, if Gods word has to be refined 7 times, then that means the WHOLE bible. If you look at the Bibles this cult claims are the 6 preceding KJV, then you will see it is impossible to have the whole Bible refined 7 times.
Tynsdale's Bible, which is first in line, was never finished, half the Old Testament is missing, so half the old testament in the KJV 1611 has only been refined 6 times. Epic fail and oversight and should be enough to stop this cult in its tracks, or at least have people see it for what it is and avoid the cult altogether.

And I said that in Daniel 9:13 "hoti" is missing, but is in Mark. Also there is kathós instead of hós. Which makes Mark 7:7 a direct quotation. 
BTW, you still did not respond to my comparison of Mark and OT:
OK, it got mixed.
We should not compare the KJV New Testament to LXX, but KJV New Testament to KJV Old Testament and see if it fits better than the Greek NT fits with the Greek OT:
------
English "consistency":
Is 29:13
"...this people... have removed their heart far from me,
and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men."
Mk 7:6,7
"It is written,
This people... their heart is far from me.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
------
Greek consistency:
Is 29:13
ὁ λαὸς οὗτος... ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ·
μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με διδάσκοντες ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων καὶ διδασκαλίας
Mk 7:6,7
ὡς γέγραπται,
Οὗτος ὁ λαὸς... ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ.
Μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.

Summary:
a) In English, we have these problems:
- heart is far vs they removed their heart far
- the part about "vain worship" disappeared completely
- the part about fear is added
- the word "doctrines" disappeared
- the word "commandments" disappeared
- meaning is changed: "their fear is taught by something" vs "they worship me in vain, because they are teaching something", passive vs active change
b) In Greek, we have these problems:
- word "kai" (and) is added in Mark
Conclusion: The English is perfect and not corrupted at all Right? If you simply compare it this way you must see how futile it is to defend the KJV "version"....

I appreciate your concern, truly I do. I'm human and I have desires for physical things and would certainly rather interact with Jesus face to face... it's part of being human. But I don't love Christ for his body, I love him for WHO he is. By who he is, I mean his personality, his character, his love, etc which I can only describe as his spirit or essence.
If my spirit can connect to Christ in that way through written down words, what difference would it make if I worshipped him in bodily form or through the words he speaks to me through the pages of the bible? Both are just carriers for the Spirit who I truly love and worship.
In this world and in my humanity I would rather have his physical body before me and even though I don't have that right now, I can still commune with the true essence of Christ through the written word and I honestly don't think I would know him any better if he was standing right before me because his spirit and essence literally are right before me on the pages of the bible.
