Apparently, you have not met someone like me. I was convinced by the evidence as all honest seekers should. The very first two books that I read in regards to the King James Bible was Dr. D.A. Wait’s Defending the King James Bible: Four fold Superiority and Edward F. Hills’ The King James Bible Defended. The two convinced me beyond reasonable doubt. Subsequent books of influence were Jasper James Ray’s God Wrote Only One Bible, Edward F. Hills’ Believing Bible Study, and books by David Otis Fuller and Davis W. Cloud.
The point is, is that I was convinced by the evidence. Therefore, I use the evidence to convince others and I have seen others convinced numerous times (more than I can count).

This is the book untainted by any error; but is pure, unalloyed, perfect truth. Why? Because God wrote it. Ah! charge God with error if you please; tell him that his book is not what it ought to be. I have heard men, with prudish and mock-modesty, who would like to alter the Bible; and (I almost blush to say it) I have heard ministers alter God's Bible, because they were afraid of it... Pity they were not born when God lived far—far back that they might have taught God how to write.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon (Spurgeon's Sermons Volume 1: Sermon II p. 31)
- “If, therefore, any do complain that I have sometimes hit my opponents rather hard, I take leave to point out that 'to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the sun' : 'a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing' : a time for speaking smoothly, and a time for speaking sharply. And that when the words of Inspiration are seriously imperilled, as now they are, it is scarcely possible for one who is determined effectually to preserve the Deposit in its integrity, to hit either too straight or too hard.” Dean John William Burgon (The Revision Revised. pp. vii-viii)
