NASV Onlyism
There are some who are using the AV 1611, and it needs to be noted that they are not reading the Word of God! In fact, their version is corrupting our society and leading Christianity back to Paganism.
I will demonstrate in the following analysis that God has preserved His Word in the New American Standard Version. The King James Version adds and deletes many passages of ABSOLUTE doctrinal importance. If we do not stand up for the Word of God...who will?
The Translators of The NASV vs. KJV
The NASV translators were inspired directly from God to translate an english version of the manuscripts that is indeed inerrant. In fact, when a Greek/Hebrew manuscript comes under question, line it up with the NASV. It is safe to correct any Greek/Hebrew manuscripts with the NASV, because it is the only inspired translation.
Now let's observe that the translators of the KJV were under the direct control of Rome!
"Now the Church of Rome…will not trust the people with it…[y]ea, so unwilling they are to communicate…he [Rome] that hath the counterfeit…translation."
The Translators to the Reader (The unwillingness of our chief adversaries, that the Scriptures should be divulged in the mother tongue, &c.), AV 1611
See? Rome forced them to counterfeit their translation [the KJV]! What blasphemy! Do you want your children to read from a translation that was under the control of Rome?
Not only that, but the KJV translators put notes in the margin! Would you want to read from a Bible that has alternate readings? May it never be!
"...doth not a margin do well to admonish the reader to seek further, and not to conclude or dogmatize upon this or that peremptorily?"
Translators to the Reader (Reasons moving us to set diversity of senses in the margin, where there is great probability for each), AV 1611
What horror!
Erasmus and His Heresy
"The reason why I appear in this odd kind of garb…[is] to…listen…to the god Pan."
Praise of Folly, Desiderius Erasmus
Erasmus participated in occultist pagan worship services! We see from this that Erasmus did not worship Christ--but the god Pan! Not only this, but Erasmus was a humanist! (I'm going to ignore the fact that the term "humanist" has a different meaning than it does today to misconstrue Erasmus to make my position stronger.)
"[Desiderius Erasmus was the] most brilliant and most important leader of German humanism..."
The Catholic Encyclopedia1
(It should be noted that I will completely ignore the fact that Theodore Beza compiled the final version of the Textus Receptus, but it should be noted that due to his intense view of Supralapsarianism, his student Jacob Arminius devised another theology. And we all know what happened there.)
KJV's Additions To Scripture
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book;
Revelation 22:18
| Verse | Corruption |

The KJV and Christian Cults
"The translation used by the LDS church is the King James Version. The LDS church publishes a version that includes the KJV as the main text, and includes parts of the Joseph Smith translation in footnotes and endnotes."2
Would you want a Bible that is officially endorsed by a religion that advocates that Satan is Christ's spiritual brother? I hope not.
It should also be noted that the KJV, at John 14:14 (KJV), doesn't advocate prayer to Christ. It simply says: "ask any think in my name." The New World Translation (that of the Jehovah's Witnesses) says at John 14:14 (NWT): "ask anything in my name." Why would they do this? Because THEY DENY THE DEITY OF CHRIST!
The trusty NASV, God's Word, says at John 14:14: "ask anything in My name." The NASV ALONE upholds the deity of our Lord Christ Jesus.
The "True" Acrostic Algebra
- (KJV - AV - TR) - NASV = X
- SATAN = X
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK...when you subtract the NASV you get SATAN! (It should be noted that I don't have to explain how I came to my conclusion because "the Lord showed me this.")
It's all a grand conspiracy!
Conclusion
If you're not on my side, you're against GOD. If you don't agree with my presuppositions than you are not worthy of the name "Poteetite". Only those who follow all what I say blindly deserve such a title. Don't mind my lack of scholarly ability or desire to find the truth behind the origination and passing of the Scriptures. I have decided this is the way it is, and this is way it will stand.
C. L. Poteet (Christ as the author, Chris as the secretary)
It should be noted this was only a joke. I am writing a parody of materials found in the writings and sayings of the KJV Only camp. If you don't believe me, pick up a Gail Riplinger, Peter Ruckman, or D.A. White book. Their lack of scholarly work has led to a gross misunderstanding of the validity of various Bible translations. May this end.

I actually just heard something about this the other day on a Wayne Grudem interview I was listening to. The NKJV also uses the same manuscripts used for the KJV, so it is no better, yet perhaps more dangerous since it is a "newer" edition. Grudem, of course, is a proponent of the ESV, which he helped to translate.

Hilarious.......... hilarious.....

Well, that's a misnomer. Yes, the NKJV uses the Textus Receptus, but not in the exclusive fashion that the translators of the KJV did (they weight many more text with the TR). I don't understand what you mean by "perhaps more dangereous since it is a 'newer' version." Sarcasm? If so, that fits well with this post!

I don't know Chris - attacking the Good Old KJV like that.
It seems to me that if 1611 KJV was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for all of us.

I don't know Chris. It seems to me that the dynamically equivalent translation of the NLT is actually probably the closest to the meaning in the original Greek. Or perhaps even the Message or the Living Bible. Power of the Paraphrase baby!

You guys crack me up.

I am currently doing research on the diferent Bible Translations. After reading behinde many authors, and "docotors of the Faith" I have found them to be over educated Idiots. I think I will stick with the KJV. It has been faithful so far, and will continue to be. God Bless.
