John: i guess i came across wrong there, of course copying was necessary, God preserved his word for us down through the ages. I don't buy into any garbage about it being corrupted over time.
I have a problem however with making an idol of the KJV, it is not a perfect translation, I am willing to read from it. I'm not anti KJV, but I prefer to read from the NASB or ESV.
There is a profound difference between "tinkering" with the bible and a translation born out of much research, study and prayerful considerations of the text. As for the paraphrase translations I want nothing to do with them. There are several excellent literal translations out there but none is perfect, including KJV.
