It's Comfortable -- I use it because that's what I am comfortable with (eg., mom and dad used it; the person who led me to the Lord used it; my pastor uses it; it's easier to memorize, etc.)
Textus Receptus -- I use it because it's the best translation available from the textus receptus, and the textus receptus is the best Greek manuscript family available. The King James may contain errors in translation.
Preserved Word -- I use it because it is the accurate, preserved Word of God for the English-speaking world. Its words are not inspired, or God-breathed, but it is an accurate translation and most or all errors have been worked out of it over the years since 1611.
Preserved & Inspired Word -- I use it because it is the preserved, inspired Word of God for the English-speaking world. It is error-free and its words are of divine origin. God moved the minds and hands of the translators just as He did the authors of the original manuscripts, in order to ensure that His Word was accurately preserved. The printing errors and spelling standardization that have been fixed since 1611 do not negate its inspiration.
More accurate than the Greek -- I use it because it is the Word of God. It's words are divinely inspired and supersede the Greek, so that we can find additional, new revelation in the English wording of the King James that does not exist in the Greek.
