I’m Done with KJV-Onlyism Dec. 31, 2024
“I still have academic work to do, I’ll promote my two KJV books next year, and I may do further debates if three strict criteria are met.” - Mark Ward

I am reminded of my own journey with KJVO, where I realized after a while that almost all of the arguments for KJVO arose from a fundamental misunderstanding of how books used to be made and preserved, proceeded to a series of ad hominem and guilt by association fallacies, and finally concluded that to accept KJVO requires one to accept so many basic logical fallacies, that those who take part in KJVO churches are going to suffer a degradation of their thinking which is going to disrupt critical doctrines and eventually the Gospel itself. This is a big reason why KJVO churches tend to be aberrant culturally and ecclesiastically; their logic is just not there.
It is, in my view, nearly as detrimental to the understanding of the Gospel as liberal theology. I read and love the KJV, but it isn't the only translation out there.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
