"Still another crowd says, 'The Bible was only inspired in the original.'...Whena church says in their articles of faith, 'We believe that the word of God was inspired in the original language,' then the average person in that church thinks that maybe the originals have been found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This belief is not true....If the only place in the world where we have a word-for-word inspired Bible is in the originals, that means that today there is no book that contains the words of God. ...Theologians have ruined this country. It is very popular to say, 'In the original, it says...' There is no original to look at."

"The self-acclaimed intelligentsia and the self-acclaimed theologians...like to call those of us who believe in a God-breathed Bible ignoramuses.
Pages 154-155
"Don't come to me with your, 'Only the original is inspired.'"
Page 78
"Paul didn't believe that the prophets were inspired in theoriginals; he believed that they were inspired then. ...People had no original manuscripts in Peter's day, in Paul's day or in Timothy's day. That means that the Scripture they had then 'is given by inspiration of God.'" (See the rest of the paragraph.)
Pages 20,25, 31
"We have heard all of our lives about the inspired Word of God...Where is that Book? ...I must have that Book...I have only two choices: The Catholic Bible, kept in the Catholic church, or the King James Bible...The King James Bible is the only logical choice."

"In 2 Timothy 3:16, the Word of God is called inspired. Would God give word-for-word inspiration to one generation but thought inspiration to another generation?"

"Suppose someone says that he believes the words are inspired in the original manuscripts...If the only place where the words of God are inspired are in the originals, and we have no originals, then we have no words of God, unless, in fact, God has preserved His words somewhere."

"The biggest split that has ever come will come in the next ten years, if not sooner, over the King James Bible, and it couldn't come soon enough for me. I'm tired of colleges and universities advertising that they use the King James Bible. Tell the whole story! Tell everyone that you do not believe that it is inspired word for word..."

"The theologians say that only the original manuscripts contain the perfect words of God."

"The King James Bible is God's work...God is the Author ofthe King James Bible, and men are the authors of the other books."

"I will not give my loyalty to institutions. I will give my loyalty to principles and support the institutions that embrace those principles...Don't be surprised because I've dropped my loyalty to some institutions...A new generation of young whipper-snappers who didn't fight the war have come on the scene...To me that is like teenagers rebelling against theirparents to have their own thinking and not embracing what is handed down to them by somebody else."

"There's more to the King James Bible issue than a bunch of independent Baptist fundamentalists trying to cause a ruckus."
