I legitimately do not understand how you can’t see that the KJV was transcribed by scholars. You are literally simultaneously asking people to believe the KJV is the perfect work of God while then turning around and saying they should beware the men who produced it.
I believe that GOD overseen those who worked on the KJB because it was a type of translation that was unlike any other in human history. 47 translators worked on the KJB from the Antiochian line (and not the corrupt Alexandrian Egyptian line of manuscripts), and they all had to peer review one another's work. In fact, there were two opposing religious groups that worked on the KJB. They had to put aside their differences in order to work on this translation and it was checked over by the king, as well (Who was also very knowledgable of the Scriptures). The KJB was supposed to be the first Bible that was to be in the hands of the common man at the eve of the spread of printing technology to give it to the common folk. All the pieces fit together. God was giving the people the Word of God in history. But 400 years later, an attack came upon the Word of God. Two men who were known occultists had found two manuscripts. Westcott and Hort. One manuscript was locked away in a Catholic vault. The other was found in an Orthodox monastry. These manuscripts were Alexandrian (Egyptian) in origin. They were inferior in doctrine and accuracy and yet Westcott and Hort made these two manuscripts the basis for their Greek New Testament (upon which all Modern Translations are based upon today). Yes, Nestle, and Aland had later created a Greek text (upon which all Modern Translations are based upon, too), but they used Westcott and Hort's critical text as the basis for their translation. The point here is that we can see in history, an attack upon God's Word, and it is not good by any means. Even if you were not to buy into this historical narrative that can be verified yourself, you can simply just compare the doctrines side by side for the KJB vs. Modern Translations. The Trinity, the blood atonement, the deity of Christ, holy living are all attacked and or watered down with your Modern Translations (when compared to the KJB).
