How can the KJV be pure, etc. when its translators used marginal notes from the Hebrew instead of the actual Hebrew in hundreds of places? Yes, it's that ol' qere / ketiv issue, for you Hebrew scholars.
What does this mean for the KJVO "perfect preservation" argument, too?

King James and the Translators
Just read rule #1: Use the Bishop's Bible whenever possible. Thus, KJV is not really a fresh translation from the Greek and Hebrew, and God's Word was already believed to exist in another Bible.
Of course, the translators themselves were fine with other translations being called God's Word: "Nay, we affirm and avow that the meanest translation of the Bible in English is the word of God."
What else was in the original 1611 KJV, you ask--besides margin notes and the Apocrypha?
