The Dangers of KJV Only-ism (Why You Should Run From It)

About this sermon

Did the King James Bible really fall out of heaven? In this video, Pastor Robby unpacks the true history of the KJV, the dangers of KJV Onlyism, and whether the 1611 King James Version is the only trustworthy English Bible. We trace how the King James was made — from William Tyndale and the Geneva Bible, to the Textus Receptus assembled by Erasmus, to the 1769 Blayney revision most people actually read today. You'll learn what the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Great Isaiah Scroll proved about the reliability of Scripture, why older manuscripts like Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus matter, how verses like the Comma Johanneum and the woman caught in adultery entered the text, and why getting closer to the original Greek and Hebrew gives us more confidence in God's Word — not less. Whether you grew up loving the King James Bible or you're wrestling with Bible translations like the ESV, NIV, CSB, NASB, or LSB, this is an honest, faith-building look at how we got our Bible and why you can trust it. 📚 Ministries: Church: Long Hollow Church – https://longhollow.com/ Ministry: Replicate — https://replicate.org/ Podcast: The Forgotten Jesus — www.youtube.com/@TheForgottenJesusPodcast 👉 Connect with Robby Instagram— https://www.instagram.com/rgallaty/ RESOURCES BY ROBBY TO HELP YOU GROW DEEPER: 🔥 Discover the Jewish Roots of Jesus: The Forgotten Jesus: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087PFKTMX 👥 Leadership: The Movement Ready Church: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7F52V8Y 🌱 The Discipleship Trilogy: Growing Up (Revised & Updated): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768225 Firmly Planted: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768241 Bearing Fruit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768268 🕊️ Robby’s Life Story: Recovered (A Story of Redemption): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1535909838 📖 Daily Bible Reading & Prayer: Foundations (260-Day Reading Plan): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1430045558 The Practice of Prayer (30-Day Guide): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8P2M3FN Chapters 0:00 — Did the KJV Fall from Heaven?
