About 5 years ago was the first time I encountered these cultists online. Thankfully I've never met any in real life and
the KJV readers I know don't have a problem with other translations. The Onlyists have been ruthless in their attacks
on my preferred translations. Every charge I've checked up on has proved to be false. They don't acccept proof but
continue to repeat the same insults and detractions.


When the translation explains that the manuscripts vary or the exact meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain,
it seems to upset the Onlyits. The alleged "missing verses" are always there to read.
The below example is the longest section of verses that differ in available manuscripts.
As can be seen quite clearly, they are not omitted. they are explained and included. (Mark 16:9-20)


https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark 16&version=NIVUK,KJV
Is it not true that the NIV does not include what is included by the kjv in such passages as Luke 9:55-56 and Romans 13:9?

You can check up on this and will find it to be true.

I will say that the kjv did not add to the scriptures in these passages; because if they did there would have been the visible sign of the plagues of the book of Revelation being added to the translators (see Revelation 22:18-19). So it would be true that those who translared modeern translations took these points away from holy scripture; and the invisible punishment was added to then, that their name was taken out of the book of life, and the holy city, and the things that are written in the book of Revelation.

Personally, I do not want to be cheated out of something that the Holy Spirit might want to minister to me.

Therefore, I read the kjv; which keeps within it many of the words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and even entire passages that are taken out in modern translations (such as the beginning of John 8 and the end of Mark 16).

Calling something a cult is certain people's way of rejecting what is spoken without having to look into what they are saying; whether it is valid or not.
Maybe some people do that. Some people use the term rightly, having done their homework.

My goodness... you really don't get it. Read my previous post again. Maybe three or four times.
No. once I have read a post, I have read it. I don't go backwards when I am going through posts; because of the principle in Philippians 3:13.

No kidding. That is why I seek to do what it says in 2 Corinthians 13:5 on a regular basis.

Those who say, that those who believe tha kjv-only side of the kjv-only controversy are cultists, have not done their homework.

The Textus Receptus (from which we get the kjv) is the correct stream.
Those who disagree, do so because they do not like the doctrine of the kjv and therefore they heap to themselves teachers (in the translators of other versions) to tell them what their itching ears want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3).

That is foolish. You have completely misunderstood the verse.

Your assertion is incorrect.

Have you ever asked someone why they reject the TR? Or have you just invented an explanation that satisfies you, regardless of whether it is true? Or perhaps you are content with parroting the silly comments of others without giving them the critical thought they deserve.

No, it is not incorrect for the most part.

But truly, God knows your heart.

Provide evidence to support your assertion.


You keep trying to make this about me. Why? Do you feel inferior?
The evidence is in the fact that the kjv contains doctrines that people generally don't like and therefore they go to other translations because they want a different message. Other translations do give them a different message that tends to be watered down as compared to the kjv. The evidence is in the reading if you will read the kjv as compared to other translations; but is too extended in content for me to relate everything about it here.

I make it about you because I care about you and am making it my goal, while speaking with you, to minister to you.

They'll do, for starters.

"Any difference is significant."
Lol, in words, different words have different meanings. When words are different the meanings change.

Hell being one of them...hell is much cooler in the new versions.

I've been debating and having to defend my bible to these Onlyists for several years on this site.
I've researched the accusations quite a lot. KJV Onlyism is very cult like. I stand by that statement.
As I understand the meaning of a cult, is a group of religious people who teach some kind of false doctrine and deny one of the fundamentals of the Christian faith.

I find it interesting that many on here do not believe in the existence of ANY Bible in ANY language (including "the" Hebrew and "the" Greek) and do not believe in the Infallibility of the Bible (ANY Bible) seem to consider themselves "orthodox" while we Christians who believe God has been faithful to His promises to preserve His words in "the book of the LORD" and that there really IS such a thing as a complete, infallible and 100% historically true Bible that contains ALL the inspired words of God are now considered to be "a cult".

A "cult" almost always teaches that they are the only ones who are truly saved and everybody else is lost and damned. Yet the overwhelming majority of King James Bible believers I know of do not at all believe they are the only ones who are true Christians. The gospel can be found in any bible version in any language and God can and does use them to bring his people to faith in Christ. I do not at all believe the Bible version issue is a salvation issue.

Again, I ask for evidence. Find a doctrine that "people generally don't like", and find someone... ANYONE... who has gone to another translation because they want a different message.

I won't wait.

Here's the reality: there isn't a single primary or secondary doctrine that can't be found in the modern translations. NOT ONE. There isn't even a minor, disputable doctrine that can't be found in the modern translations. Your assertion is nothing but wind.

Insulting people is not an effective way to minister to them. I don't perceive anything in the way of "caring" from you.

Certain doctrines are taken out of certain verses so that they might be found in only one verse in some modern translations.

And the same people who defend them desire that in order to prove any doctrine, you must have more than one scripture to substantiate it.

Thus, in their lives, satan effectively removes certain doctrines from their understanding.

Example, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14 (see them in all translations).

If I have insulted you then I apologize.

Whether you perceive it or not, I do care about your soul.

You have also insulted me by calling me silly. That was not very nice. Practice what you preach.

yea saying vipers most of the time is not the best way.I think if we just become the lips of god,that is the best way.If we are like hay Jesus i'll take care of this!! then of course the word of god will be mixed with pride. Insalt not in insult become lots wife that is the salt of the earth in the proper context of course.
