I read this idea on the AV1611.com site and it forced me to ask whether inspiration applies to originals only or to translations as well. Most of what I have been taught, I have recently come to realize, was based the idea the KJV is the Word of God translated and preserved by man, but not inspired by God.
I am still not sure about the idea that the KJV is inspired, but am seeking God in prayer on this idea.

Aloha MPeak,
Please check out this Thread on The Inspiration of Scripture.
The articles were written by Moses LemuelRaj from India and Posted by me (with his permission).
I believe that these essays represent the position that some (including me) King James Bible believers (but not all) hold. It is the belief that the "
words" of God themselves are "inspired" not just the original "languages", or just the "original autographs" in the "original languages"; but the very "words" themselves - regardless of the language.
Brother Moses has written one of the best articles, that I have ever read in over 40 years, explaining Scriptural Inspiration - according to the Scriptures themselves, and not according to some scholarly "
construct", that is according to the wisdom of the world. [
1 Corinthians 2:1-16]
I hope that this may be of some help in your search for the truth.
If you care to explore a little further - I have several Threads and/or Posts concerning the subject of the King James Bible issue. The following "Links" are to two of the main ones:
