yes, they could learn to read Jacobean English, even the average or subaverage reader, but why should they be forced to? What is it about the KJV that is somehow innately superior to all other English translations?
I'm afraid that the reasoning (if one could call it that) of most King James Onlyists/Biblical preservationists is not necessarily to show that the KJV is "innately superior" but that (in their view) all modern versions are evil, Satanic, textually corrupt, or what have you.
I have been talking with KJOers for 2 -3 years now, and in all this time I have observed that virtually no move is made to offer a positive case for accepting the KJV above and against all other versions, other than the "good fruit"
argument and arguments based upon biblical verses which seem to indicate that God promised to preserve His word.
Their agenda is merely to slander the modern versions, as it were, and I suppose they believe if they eliminate all modern versions thusly that one is left with only the KJV.
