First, those who claim the verbal inspiration of the KJV are certainly overreaching.

In fact, I have not come across any truly serious Bible student who would claim the KJV is the verbal inspiration of Scripture, but rather that the Scriptures are God-breathed in the autographic languages of Hebrew and Greek (substantially).

Second, that being said, there is much to say about God’s hand in bringing to English-speaking people the KJV, and even more to be said about its profound impact on the world. Imagine today a wealthy country making as a top agenda item an accurate English language (or any language) translation of God’s Word. It simply would not happen. But if it DID, the agenda would NOT be accuracy in rendering, but a political agenda to revise the content. We are actually seeing these agendae in our day.

Third, I use the KJV myself almost exclusively in public presentations, both audio and literarily. I do this because it is the most historical public Bible. I also like that the translators did not endeavor to give the meaning when they were unclear, but took pains to simply translate what they found. As one reads the KJV with a good background in English language, he can come across the awkwardness of certain passages and realize this requires some drilling-down into the autograph language.

Fourth and finally, the KJV circumnavigates the increasingly troublesome intellectual property issues which greedy men are utilizing to extort others in their fair usage of God’s Word.

There are so many very fine tools to work with the KJV in this day that serious students can get a wealth of help without needing staff or a king’s ransom to buy the resources.

I hope this helps some.
