KJV Onlyism

From: www.watch-unto-prayer.org/TR-0-intro.html

When we first took a stand for the King James Bible many years ago,
it never occurred to us that “King James-Only” meant “no Greek and no Hebrew.”

It was upon reading Gail Riplinger’s most recent book, that we
discovered that the term “KJV-Only” was to be taken literally.
It means that the King James Bible alone is divinely inspired,
perfect and superior to all other translations and texts,
including the Greek Textus Receptus and the Hebrew Masoretic Text.

We are “Textus Receptus Only,” and we mistakenly assumed that this
was also the position of the leadership of the KJV-Only movement.
Our discovery that this was not the case compelled us to write
this lengthy expose of the heresy in Gail Riplinger’s book and
other false teachings in King James Onlyism which is another point
of entry to the New Age / New World Order.

Gail Riplinger’s book, In Awe of Thy Word, is both a broadside attack on the Greek Textus Receptus and an introduction to Kabbalah, which is Jewish occultism. Yet the heretical nature of Riplinger’s book goes undetected by many in the King James-Only community probably because her best-seller, New Age Bible Versions, seemed to uphold the Textus Receptus as the standard text for New Testament translation. When it became apparent that Gail Riplinger had done a volte face on the superiority of the Greek Textus Receptus, it was time for us to reexamine her teachings and to confront many false teachings of King James Onlyism; for there appears to be a “conspiracy of silence” among KJV-Only leaders as Gail takes the movement to a new level of heresy.

KJV Onlyism is an argument for ignorance, and the movement against the examining of the Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew resources that enable Christians to determine the accuracy of various Bible translation.

King James himself tampered with the translation, not from the Greek but to the English, as the KJV was explicitly based on and existing English bible, and was not a new translation:

An important step in the creation of KJV Onlyism was taken by the British and American Bible Societies when they removed the notes to the reader which is in the Authorized Verson of the KJV, which warn the reader against falling into the trap:
