Now you are simply trying to create a bogus straw man so that you can hang the label of "cultist" on myself and others. This nonsense -- "...and that everyone else must use it or they will become spiritually anemic, fall away or fall from grace..." -- is simply your creation. Just like your wild claim in another thread that some Christians look to another god as their Savior.
Those who hold fast to the KJB simply state their position and also expose all the corrupt modern versions since 1881. What you do with that information is entirely up to you. There are some Christians who hate the truth about this matter. Each one will give account for themselves.

You don't believe God's word is pure, holy & error free. You believe a translation done by humans is pure, holy & error free.
You've restricted God from speaking in any other fashion. Despite the fact that God alone is the inventor & master of language.
Everyone's Bible has that verse. You don't understand early Middle English so you have no idea what it means.
You don't understand it, nor will you accept a correct interpretation in the English you do understand.
You trample on the advise given in the verse itself by following a false teaching regarding the Word of God.
If you truly wanted to understand God's word, you would either:
Learn early Middle English properly and use the KJV. Or
Use a translation in the English you already read, write & understand.

Why do people fall into line with any named denomination. The names differ because their understandings and doctrines are counter to each other.
According to the Word Jesus Yeshua has united that other Flock with His Original Flock. He makes us all sons of Abraham. If we know who Abraham is, we know our Father.

Well if JBF has made such a statement, it is just too extreme, and most people who hold to the KJB would not go that far. Here's the proper way to understand this:

I never said or implied any such thing. I responded to the OP (my preferred translation and why). I hope you don't assume I am speaking against other translations.
The old English is not a barrier for me at all; I understand the old English employed in the KJV just as well as other translations. My translation preference is not influenced by its readability.
The KJV is actually my 2nd option regarding preferred translations. It is an excellent translation. If you re-read my post, I said "Alongside the KJV, [the NASB] is the most literal/precise"...meaning overall, they are equally the two most accurate translations. This is not just my opinion; it is the consensus of virtually all linguistic scholars.
This 1st reason alone is enough for me to prefer the NASB as much as the KJV.
But considering the other 5 reasons I gave, it offers this handful of helpful indicators for expositors that no other translation offers. For these collective reasons, I prefer the NASB.
