But of course. How else do you manage to make a God in your own image?

So you're saying man is ultimately responsible for what's in the Bible? That doesn't sound like divine influence to me. It sounds more like George Bush and science. Discard what you don't like and flaunt what you do. If nothing suits you, make up your own.
Well, in my case, people already worship me.

Heretic! I am the one true Lord. You shall burn forever.
I have only 7 minutes left, so I can't post examples.
But I have already shown how the AV1611 has been preserved nearly word-for-word thru the AV350 Gothic, thru the AV1389 Wycliffe, etc.
And as for the "tares" (not "chaff"), I have already compared what the AV1611 says vis-a-vis the NIV several times.
Like Colossians 4:15, for example, where the AV1611 (and It's predecessors) say "his house" vs the NIV, that says "her house".
Have a great day and see you tomorrow.
I'll have to repeat something insightful that has been posted on CF before (I wish I could remember the person who said it):
There's a difference between saying God inspired the Bible and saying God wrote the Bible. After all, Leonardo Da Vinci was inspired by a young woman to paint the Mona Lisa; the woman did not paint the picture herself. Her face was filtered through his perceptions to get the work of art we have today.

Next: What is God's Voice like?
When I was a young'un, my folks got me some Bible stories on cassette. God sounded a lot like Darth Vader...I mean, James Earl Jones.
...how do you know that the version you're relying on hasn't already been infected?
He wholeheartedly believes that God wrote the Bible, using human authors as His tools. He will not (or at least, has not in the past) recognize any historical, cultural, literary, or any non-divine influence in the Bible.
I'm not talking about tares growing within the pages of the Bible, Itself; I'm talking about other versions.
Once again, just compare the AV1611 with Its seven predecessors, and see if any tares have entered.
(Start with 1 John 5:7 --- the most likely place a tare would appear --- and you'll see none.)
When I was a young'un, my folks got me some Bible stories on cassette. God sounded a lot like Darth Vader...I mean, James Earl Jones. And there was always a thunderclap whenever he spoke.
God: <BOOM!> Moses! Go to Pharaoh and tell him, "Let my people go!"
Moses: But I am afraid!
God: <BOOM!> I find your lack of faith disturbing. [God Force chokes Moses.]
AV, you must be going out of your way to ignore the point. The KJV is predicated on earlier versions along with earlier manuscripts. There is no way to parse out "other versions" in such a scenario.
If you see eight Fords sitting in a parking lot with ten other cars --- all ten different makes from ten other countries --- would you not conclude that the eight Fords all come from the same company?
