We hear it again and again.
"show me where it says in Scripture that the King James Bible is God's word for the English speaking people of today."
Of course, this kind of scoffer knows that there is no verse that says "Thou shalt only read the King James," so they think they are safe with their naive question.

The King James Bible is the ONLY Bible that fulfills ALL Scriptural criteria for identifying the word of God for us today.
No other book, manuscript, or text can fulfill all of this criteria except the King James Bible.
"That Book accounts for the supremacy of England."
--Queen Victoria (1819-1901), British monarch for 64 years.
"The scholars who produced this masterpiece are mostly unknown and unremembered. But they forged an enduring link, literary and religious, between the English-speaking people of the world."
-- Sir Winston Churchill
"One of the supreme achievements of the English Renaissance came at its close, in the King James Bible...It is rightly regarded as the most influential book in the history of English civilization...the King James Version combined homely, dignified phrases into a style of great richness and loveliness. It has been a model of writing for generations of English-speaking people."
--Compton's Encyclopedia
"The greatest English Bible is the Authorized, or King James, Version. Based on Tyndale's translation and original texts, it was produced in 1611 by six groups of churchmen at the command of King James I. The King James Bible became the traditional Bible of English-speaking Protestants. Its dignified and beautiful style strongly influenced the development of literature in the English language. The influence can be seen in the works of John Bunyan, John Milton, Herman Melville, and many other writers."
--Merit Students Encyclopedia Vol. 3; Crowell-Collier Educational Corporation; 1967, 1972 ed. p.p. 137, 138 Rev. Holt H. Graham; Rev. Joseph M. Petulla; Mr. Cecil Roth
"The translation was extraordinarily well done because to the translators what they were translating was not merely a curious collection of ancient books written by different authors in different stages of culture, but the word of God divinely revealed through His chosen and expressly inspired scribes. In this conviction they carried out their work with boundless reverence and care and achieved a beautifully artistic result...they made a translation so magnificent that to this day the common human Britisher or citizen of the United States of North America accepts and worships it as a single book by a single author, the book being the Book of Books and the author being God."
--George Bernard Shaw, Author
"To tamper with the King James Bible, based on some imagined manuscript evidence, is like adjusting Big Ben to somebody's private wrist watch."
--Wall Street Journal
These are comments from the UNSAVED WORLD!
THEY can recognize what many CHRISTIANS CANNOT!
"And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." Luke 16:8
You would have to be intentionally blind in order to ignore the fact that the King James Bible is the word of God for us today.
It is incomparable.
It is untouchable.
It is infallible.
It is the Holy word of God.
All others are cheap imitations.
