Meet the authors and editors behind the blog — each a former proponent of KJV-onlyism who has journeyed out of that movement.

The journey away from a King James Only position often begins with a single honest question. For many contributors to this blog, that question came while studying the biblical text more closely than they had before. They noticed discrepancies between the Greek manuscripts underlying the King James Version and those used by modern translations. This observation did not shatter their faith but rather deepened it, as they discovered that the original languages of Scripture tell a richer, more nuanced story than any single translation can capture. What started as a defense of one English version became a pursuit of the original text itself.

Each author on this site once held firmly to the belief that the King James Bible alone preserved God's words for English-speaking believers. They were taught that modern versions were corrupt, that the Textus Receptus was providentially protected, and that textual criticism was an attack on Scripture. Leaving this view required reexamining church history, manuscript evidence, and the doctrine of preservation. The process was neither quick nor easy, often involving difficult conversations with friends and family who remained in the movement. Yet the result was a more robust understanding of how God has preserved His word across many faithful translations.

The debate between KJV-only advocates and those who accept modern translations touches on deeper questions about the nature of Scripture itself. Is God's word bound to a particular language or time period? Does preservation mean that one specific manuscript tradition must remain error-free, or does it mean that the essential message of the Bible has been faithfully transmitted through many copies and versions? These questions require careful study of textual evidence, not just theological slogans. The contributors to this blog have found that engaging honestly with the manuscript evidence leads not away from faith but toward a greater appreciation for the reliability of the biblical text.

Readers who are currently questioning the KJV-only position will find here a community of people who have walked that same path. The articles on this site do not mock or belittle those who hold to KJV-onlyism, recognizing that many sincere Christians embrace that view out of a genuine desire to honor Scripture. Instead, the blog offers clear reasoning, historical context, and textual evidence presented with humility. The goal is not to win arguments but to help fellow believers think more carefully about how we approach the Bible. Whether you are firmly convinced of the KJV-only position or simply curious about the debate, there is something here for you.
