Tag me with any label you want. But count me as one who believes that the KJV is the right Bible for English speaking people because it is a literal translation of the correct Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.

If preachers spent as much time reading the Bible as they do reading books about the Bible they wouldn't be led astray by fancy sounding but unscriptural nonsense.

Where a person ends up on the Bible translation issue is largely determined by where they start out: with the Scripture or with scholars. Probably a good idea to start with what the Bible says about itself rather than with what people say about the Bible.
