The last time someone showed you, you were offended and thought you were being compared to a demon-possessed individual. Are you sure you want to see it again?
It is an undeniable fact that your multiple standards disagree with each other -- otherwise we'd have no argument over different translations and you wouldn't be offering your corrections of the KJV here for us. And yet, some how, you say you hold to the KJV as being God's word just like you do the NAS and "your translation" (which you never explained).
Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
This verse teaches more than one truth. Instead of being offended and assuming someone is comparing you with the demon-possessed, re-read the verse to find the second teaching: a house divided falleth. Your "houses of scripture"
are divided against each other. Ask who killed Goliath and get your answer from a KJV -- check the NAS and wonder why they contradict. (Easy: the NAS translators didn't understand Hebrew; the KJV translators did.)
Also, God's word is
pure. Obviously it will evince itself as a standard! If we can have multiple,
differing standards, as you hold to, then it is not
pure.
Psalms 119:140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Do I
really need to go and paste in more verses that show God's word is pure? Does anybody really think there is a logical way to reconcile multiple conflicting standards with
purity?
