Psalms 12:6-7, “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Proverbs 30:5-6, “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Matthew 4:4, “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Psalms 119:140, “Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.”
Our text passages of Scripture irrefutably proclaims that “EVERY WORD” of God is pure, and that God promised to “PRESERVE” those inspired pure Words forever! Sadly, nearly every Bible college in America denies the inspiration of the King James Bible. Instead, if you go read their statement of faith, you'll find that they only believe the “original autographs” were inspired by God. What they really believe is that we don't have God's perfect Words today. For example: Here is Bob Jones University's position on the Word of God:
“Bob Jones University holds to the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible in the original manuscripts and that God has supernaturally preserved His inspired words in the totality of extant manuscript evidence.” [emphasis added]

Here is the doctrinal position on the Bible from Faith Baptist Bible College And Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa...
“We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration by God of the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, and that they are inerrant and infallible in all matters.” [emphasis added]
SOURCE: FBBCTS Doctrinal Statement
Here is the position on the Word of God at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago...
“We believe that the Bible is God's word. The doctrinal statement of Moody Bible Institute affirms, "The Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments, is a divine revelation, the original autographs of which were verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit.” [emphasis added]
The big problem is that we don't have the originals anymore. Either we have the inspired and infallible Words of God in the King James Bible or we do not! That is what it all boils down to! Perhaps you say: “Well I believe it's almost right!” Well then who decides which parts are right and not right? You say: “Educated scholars.” Where do they get their authority? You say: “From the Bible.” Which Bible? You say: “From the Greek.” There's 2,700 different Greek manuscripts! Do you see the dilemma dear reader? If we do not have an accurate, inspired and infallible Bible today, then man becomes his own God, the final deciding authority.
God commanded Adam and Eve what to do in Genesis 2:16-17. God gave them the freedom to eat of all the trees in the Garden of Eden, except just one, the Tree Of Knowledge. But the serpent (Satan - Revelation 20:2) subtly came to Eve and changed the Word of God, saying that God forbade them to eat from any of the trees. Read it for yourself in Genesis 3:1, “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” The Devil is a beautiful liar!
Before the serpent came along, God's Word was the only authority Adam and Eve had. But when the serpent introduced a second authority, Eve was placed in a precarious position of having to decide which of the existing two authorities were true. This effectively put Eve in the place of God, as a third authority. What Eve should have done is quote God's Words, which is exactly what Jesus did in Matthew 4:1-10 when the Devil came to tempt Him to sin three times. All three times Jesus quoted the Scriptures! Eve went astray when the serpent came to here with the question: “HATH GOD SAID?” (Genesis 3:1). The moment you start questioning the accuracy of the Word of God, you are headed for a deadly fall.
God only wrote one Book and He has preserved those inspired Words down through the centuries. Therefore, the King James Bible is still 100% inspired. Did God inspired the King James translators? No, they were already working with inspired texts, and those Words were preserved in their inspiration. They were already inspired, and those words always will be inspired.
Literally, they believe that ALL available Bible translations today have errors. Most of them claim that the King James Bible is “THE BEST,” but say it is not inspired or perfect.
“And the problem we got in these schools today, brother, is that instead of people being in subjection to the Book, we have a bunch of people who have the Book in subjection to them! And that's backwards!” —Pastor Danny Castle, “The King James Bible: God's Holy Words!!!” (16:39 time in video, preached in 1992)
Kindly said, Bob Jones University are a bunch of hypocrites. For decades they have told their students that they only use the King James Bible, while at the same time they promote the Devil's modern Bible revisions, claiming that none of them are perfect. BJU sells various different Bible translations in their campus book store. God only authored ONE BOOK!!! Since they disagree, they cannot all be accurate. There can only be one true Bible in any particular language.
Nobody has the original manuscripts. We either have God's Words today, or we do not. If they are not inspired, they are not God's Words! God has given us a perfect Book in the authorized King James Bible!!! Thank you God!
