First, the fact that the deepest and most profound argument against the "KJV Only" movement is provided in the Translator's Letter of the 1611 KJV.
Secondly, if the proponents of said movement had ever actually READ the 1611 KJV, they wouldn't participate in such vain disputations.
I myself spent years laboring under such vanity...though not KJV Only, the enemy was heaping condescension and mistrust into my mind. It took years of struggle, prayer, and study to finally be liberated of it in faith...years that likely would not have been necessary if I had ever been gifted the humble, genuine truth that while God's word is true and pure...it is more divine than we perceive as, when coupled with humble spirit and a willingness to accept that there is none that perfectly comprehend God's full glory, it stands to implore us to seek fellowship from others, and drives us to spend our lives meditating on God's ways...amazing.
The Protestants, in being zealous to observe the sins of papists, fell into the same trap but a scant few years later in obscuring the complex nature of God's revealed Word, on the alter of "making it less confusing for the common man"...
I ask this, how does the common man ever attain the uncommon in Christ without the challenge of seeking Him? It is a negligent pastor who would trade the responsibility and blessing of a curious flock to guide, by obscuring truth revealed to them.
Kindly guide them in the milk, but if they seek the meat...rejoice in the opportunity to patiently guide what, with good labor and wisdom, could well become a fellow workman in service to the Master. Amen
