This clearly applies to you!
You have no infallible Bible to battle against Satan.
Good luck with that!

By your line of thinking....the manuscripts that the apostles actually wrote are false....it is the newer manuscripts that are the real Bible!
Nope.
Here’s my belief:
The text that guided the translators of the Authorized Version (KJV) were accurate to what was originally written by the apostles and prophets.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Oh! I see! A fantasy religion!

It's obvious that you believe this, but you are deluded.
They were ordered by a secular king to create a Bible that made his personal view of Protestantism the official one. It's tragic that you and other KJVOs are so blind!
Oh, so it’s a “fantasy” to believe that we have a Bible that accurately and reliably brings us the original writings of the inspired writers?
Oookay then….
Care to count the fantasies?
That there is a translation of the Bible that God signed off on.
There are translations much more accurate than the JKV.....but God did not sign off on any of them.
The religious reverence of any object is idolatry.
You believe in a Bible....try believing in Christ.
The NASB is one of the most accurate Bibles in print.....but it is not holy....and it still has some errors.....just nowhere near as many as the KJV. The KJV is famous for its errors.....the NASB is not.
The scriptures are the Word of God....Bibles are translations of that....the wise will look for the most accurate scriptures.
And I will add for the "Bible only" folks.....you would think this would be very important....but not so for many.
Any Bible is a tool to understand the Word of God....Why focus on the most inaccurate?
Personal devotions? Try being devoted to God.
“The commissioning of the King James Bible took place in 1604 at the Hampton Court Conference outside of London. The first edition appeared in 1611. The King James version remains one of the greatest landmarks in the English tongue. It has decidedly affected our language and thought categories, and although produced in England for English churches, it played a unique role in the historical development of America. Even today, many consider the King James Bible the ultimate translation in English and will allow none other for use in church or personal devotions.”
Amen!
The Story Behind The King James Bible
The KJV is famous for its errors.....the NASB is not.
"You believe in a Bible....try believing in Christ."
Made famous by Westcott and Hort.
Their changes to the New Testament text based on corrupted source texts artificially created errors in the KJV since the KJV was not based on these corrupt texts!
In 1881 A.D. The Westcott and Hort Greek Text was introduced. This text departed from the Textus Receptus and follows the Vatican and Sinaitic corruptions.
The Jehovah’s Witness Bible entitled the ’New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures’ was translated from the text of Westcott and Hort.

I believe in Christ because of the Bible.
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.” (Psalms 119:9)
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
So since the “word” (Bible) is a source of ridicule for you, you haven’t heard the truth and as a result have no faith and no Bible.
“He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” (John 8:47)
Ouch!

You wrote, "So since the “word” (Bible) is a source of ridicule for you, you haven’t heard the truth and as a result have no faith and no Bible." That is slanderous nonsense.
As Grailhunter said, "You believe in a Bible....try believing in Christ."
You can dish it out but can’t take it in huh?
Your implication that I didn’t believe in Christ by repeating what @Grailhunter said is no better sir!
But I took it like a man.
No hard feelings.
@Jim B
This is serious business!
Not philosophy.
There is a Devil out there seeking to devour and destroy and I have fended him off many times in my life by the word of God. Without it I’d be in ruins!
I take criticism to the Bible to heart!
The lambs need a sword they can rely on when the enemy comes to devour.
