A person can attack with their words.
There are different levels of attack.
Any expression of dislike towards any particular thing is an attack, my friend. But what if.... what if.... I am right, and the KJV is God's true and holy Word, it would not be good to speak in dislike or disapproval of it until you look at the reasons I gave that defends it.
I would also check out reading the book called "New Age Bible Versions", as well.

There are numerous problems with Modern Translations.

I simply said I dislike it because of the exegesis embedded into it.
You didn't look at the reasons I provided that shows that the KJV is divine in origin. Before you express why you think you dislike it, please look at the other side of the fence please. Is that not your desire for those who believe in Calvinism, and or Eternal Security? Do you not desire them to see the other side of the fence or issue?
I say this because God's Word says, "God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith," (James 2:5).
Does the poor guy on the street have access to a Lexicon with a Concordance? No. He is simple. If he were to get a Bible, he would just read it, and believe it. No fancy rich scholar is gonna change what the Word says for him.

Daniel 3:25 is just one of several examples where the translators imposed their own assumption into the text by changing the original message that is not supported by the original text.
Daniel 3:25 is precisely why the King James is correct and all others are false. Just do a word search on the page for the KJV for Daniel chapter 3, and you will find Nebuchadnezzar referring to the God of the Israelites as their God (singular) in context. This makes sense because Nebuchadnezzar knows that the Israelites believe in one God and not many.
In
Daniel 3, Nebuchadnezzar says there is one like the "Son of God" in the fiery furnace along with Daniel's three friends. This is Jesus! Yet, in the Modern Translations it says the "son of the gods." In many false religions we can see how certain gods had mated with human females and created a hybrid. This is popular even in Greek mythology. So who saved Daniel's friends? Jesus or some hybrid like Hercules?
Nebuchadnezzar thought this was an angel of God (singular and not plural).
"Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God." (
Daniel 3:28).
This was not the "son of the gods (plural) (little "g")!!!
Nebuchadnezzar clearly was referencing the most high God.
The Bible says (even something similar in your Modern Version),
"Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire." (
Daniel 3:26).
Angels are called the: "sons of God" in Job.
The fourth person in the fire was still Jesus! The son of God. The Scriptures were still correct in their inspiration by God when they say, "and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." While Nebuchadnezzar did not know it was the second person of the Godhead or the Trinity, the Lord our God who inspired Scripture surely would have glorified the name of the Son of God (Jesus) in this instance. For it was Jesus who was in the fire with Daniel's three friends!

Knowing that the KJV was largely influenced by the Geneva bible, a reformed translation, combined with the translators intention to inject their own exegesis, I prefer not to use this version because I prefer not to be influenced by outside opinions.
God can use imperfect methods to preserve His Word.
Did your study involve a list of many things that appear to attack the deity of Christ, the Trinity, holy living like Modern Translations do?
I do not believe this is the case.

The differences you are seeing in the examples you gave are due to older manuscripts which have been found that were not available to the KJV translators. I must say that I am a bit offended by your accusation of my “limited knowledge” on this matter. I wouldn’t have made any comment about the KJV if I hadn’t done some study on it. I thought the remark was a bit condescending and presumptuous.
Please know that I say all I do with love, and I do care for you. We both cannot be right, and you do not have the same kind of knowledge that I have involving the KJV. Surely you must realize that there are VERY GOOD reasons why I believe the KJV is God's perfect Word of God for today. I did not just pick up the KJV one day and say it was God's Word because there was a light shining on it from a church window. I do not mean to offend, but I did do my homework on this issue. As for the history, etc.; That is not really my cup of tea. While I did watch a video on the history of the KJV, history can be written by the victors. My true test is by Observational Science. What can I test and see in the here and now.
But again, please take no offense, if I said something you felt was offensive, it was not my intention to be disrespectful or to harm you in any way. I have a love and a passion for God's Word. If I see an attack on what I believe is God's Word, I will defend it because I believe faith comes by hearing the Word of God (the Bible) (See Romans 10:17). To help you to understand where I am coming from: If the KJV is said not to be perfect or in error, I see it as attack on my faith when anyone attacks or dislikes the KJV because I see the KJV as the basis for my faith. But yes.... my goal is for us believers to be united in reading His Word together in love. So while we may agree to disagree, we should always love one another as brothers.
