AMA ("Why Do I Reject the KJV-Only Movement?") - Tim Eyschen - 7 June 2026

Many Christians love the King James Version, and rightly so. For more than 400 years it has served the church faithfully, shaped Christian thought, and led countless people to faith in Christ. This message is not an attack on the KJV itself. In fact, I continue to value and appreciate it.However, does the evidence support the claim that the KJV alone is the perfect, error free English Bible?In this message, I present two reasons why I reject the KJV Only position. First, we examine 2 Thessalonians 2 and consider why the wording "Day of Christ" in the KJV appears difficult to reconcile with Paul's argument, and why many scholars believe "Day of the Lord" is the correct reading.But the second reason is the most significant. Near the end of the message, I explore a question that every Christian should consider: If God intended the KJV translation to be the sole authoritative Bible for His people, why didn't He inspire the actual translators to believe the same? More importantly, what should our confidence ultimately rest upon: a particular translation, or the inspired Word of God that has been faithfully preserved through the centuries?Join us as we examine the evidence, seek to handle God's Word carefully, and consider how Christians can remain united around the authority of Scripture while holding different preferences regarding Bible translations.Our faith should not rest upon the perfection of a particular English translation, but upon the God who inspired, preserved, and continues to speak through His Word.
