Puritan Board Freshman
I was wondering what were the main arguments that KJV-only people use in favor of their position. There must be some KJV-only guys on this board. Is it simply that they do not recognize the Dead Sea Scrolls as a good strain of manuscript, which was used to form some of the more modern translations? I heard there are some old folks who believe there was some type of inspiration that occured in the formation of the AV/KJV, which I hope none of you are buying into.
I also thought that the best translation overall is actually the NASB, which scores the highest for literal accuracy.
My church uses the NKJV, and I personally accept the KJV, RSV, NKJV, ASB, NASB, ESV, and 1599 Geneva Bible as good translations, and reject all the others. My favorite, however is the 1599 Geneva and second favorite, the ESV.
