I'm so sick of people trying to debate that the KJV is the only translation that contains "God's Truth". Personally I never stick to one translation, but compare. This person posts a link (http://www.av1611.org/kjv/counterfeit.html) about Luke 4:8 in KJV and the site says "Many counterfeits remove the words "get thee behind me, Satan".
I find it ironic they only cross-examine with the KJV. Not the original text. The person was talking about writing in Hebrew, but the NT wasn't written in Hebrew.
In fact, the Latin Vulgate (4th century)reads "And Jesus answered and said unto him, it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve" (Google translation from "et respondens Iesus dixit illi scriptum est Dominum Deum tuum adorabis et illi soli servies"). In the 1500s it was translated into Douay-Rheims "And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
To be spouting off things like "Why his gospel needs updating I don't know." not taking into consideration the KJV is an update just gets under my skin. How thick can a person be? The 1611 KJV is not "that" old! I would also pretty much guarantee he doesn't have an actual 1611 which includes the Apocrypha.
He goes further by saying "stay away from these Bibles that omit verses or change things around."
How about ADDING to verses?
Good grief.
