The evidence for the verasity of the KJV Bible we hold in our hands being the same Bible that was written by the 66 writers over thousands of years is rock solid. Any that would attempt to say otherwise base it on a pre conceived notion that Jesus is not the Messiah. And not any scholarly criticism.
For example, the book of Isaiah found in the Dead Sea scrolls is 1000 years older than the texts that were used to translate the KJV. And there is virtually no difference between the two. And certainly no difference that would prove the Bible we hold today is corrupted so that we can not know the truth of man's need for salvation. And Jesus' fulfilling that need.
Man could not do this. Only God could. More proof of His divine authorship.

And the same goes for all other translations, in all languages, including St. Jerome's holiest of holies Vulgata. So what's your point?
Btw, how many KJV Onlyists are there outside of English speaking countries? Oh right, zero.

Yeah, but they had the original manuscripts on hand too, which were written in English. And they also spoke English, just like Jesus did.
And then that damned Catholic Church came along and rewrote the perfect Bible in Latin, Greek and Aramaic, corrupting the text forever until King James restored it.

Yep, because the Bible NEVER changed ONCE between when it was first written (around 300-400 AD) and when the KJV was created (around 1600). No siree.
And of course, those who wrote it down in 300-400 AD also fully remembered events that (supposedly) occurred between 5000 and 400 years before they decided to write them down, without any loss of information! Yep, those ancient people sure had 100% perfect memory and the ability to live thousands of years, didn't they?
It shalt be as thou sayeth. Jesus obviously spoke the same Ye Olde English, which Shakespeare, Marlowe, Donne, and Milton wrote in - and Isaiah wrote in it too.

People thousands of years ago spoke Elizabethan English?

The text of the book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" I have is exactly the same as the text in the older copy of the same book I found at a thrift store. That must mean the book is literally true.
Unless, of course, you're actually trying to claim that the KJV of Isaiah has EXACTLY the same text as the Dead Sea scrolls, at which I call bullshit.
Man could not do this.
Why not? Why is it so impossible to copy a book that's hundreds of years old to say the same thing? Especially since the bible has been copied and copied for the thousands of years of its existence?
66 writers? Pulled that number out of your ass, did you?
There ARE 66 books, yes. But most of the authors are unknown. And Paul wrote more than one.
Some have interpolations, additions, edits.
Tradition holds that Moses wrote five. But if he did, that means he wrote about his own funeral in the past tense.
So, clearly, you (just like the rest of us) have no clue how many authors there actually are for the books.
“Any that would attempt to say otherwise base it on a pre conceived notion that Jesus is not the Messiah.”
But… But the bible is what tells us there will be a Messiah.
The bible is HOW we’re supposed to identify The Messiah.
But there was no bible until about 300 years AFTER Jesus.
And then, the assumption that Jesus WAS the messiah is what was used to pick the manuscripts that were put in the book that proved that he was Messiah…
It’s a knot of circular logid, not a preconceived notion.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
