James White peeks out of his cave, but retreats quickly

Update below...

James White came on to the PuritanBoard (or there was a James White sighting, let's say) to challenge someone to debate the manuscripts issues on his internet show. He didn't stick around, mind you. If he did that he'd have to expose himself by being confronted by Matthew Winzer, Steve Rafalsky, and Thomas Weddle, not that they are looking to gun him down, but they will, as they have shown, defend the pure and whole Word of God against the Jesuitical corrupt Alexandrian versions. White doesn't want any part of them. For an example of what he is up against, and why he chooses to stay in his cave, down the rock trail from bin Laden, read this by Thomas Weddle.

A 'reverend' at the PuritanBoard has spoken (proving once again how unteachable Reformed academics are on issues that require discernment from the Holy Spirit):

But I'll tell you this: there are people dear to me who stop short of being willing to study the Bible with me, not because I wouldn't be willing to use a translation they were comfortable with, but because I don't think the KJV is the ONLY TRUE BIBLE IN EXISTENCE IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD. Isn't that tragic?

The only one translated from the God-preserved Masoretic and Traditional Greek Text yes. God's elect have a thing about wanting the pure and whole Word of God, and not wanting corrupt versions based on corrupt manuscripts that Jesuits have no problem with.

Here, I think it is better that there be ANY translation in the most hands possible,

Yes, spread the leaven of poison around. And you don't have to give away your secret: that that leaven of poison causes people to fear and revere man (scholars, clerics, etc.) and not God. No need to mention that.

and sort out mistakes in understanding, and value (or lack thereof) of this or that "brand" in the context of the church

Can you hear his voice as he's writing this? Like a cardinal on a mission from Rome in the 1500s. "Now, now, can't we reason together here? Mmm? What, after all, is all this commotion? It's silly... Let us all come together in a spirit of peace, and love, for the common good; and I think we will all see, as an added benefit, that we will all be happy, and there will be no more contention (do you know what that word means? I'm sorry to confuse you my little ones, it means arguing and such. Bad things...)..."

but they won't admit of it.

No, those regenerated knuckleheads just won't give up the Word of God. Incredible.

They have been taught by their former teachers that those who do not adhere to the KJV brand are not to be trusted in doctrine.

I'll reword that for you (I'm sure he just got confused): "They have been taught by the Holy Spirit that those who do not adhere to the God-preserved Masoretic and Received Text in sound translation are not to be trusted in matters of the Word of God."

Better to follow false-teaching from a KJV-handling teacher, than an advocate of historic Christianity with "something other than God's Word version" in his hand.

Or better yet, why not go the full distance with the Reformation and follow apostolic biblical doctrine, five solas, doctrines of grace, classical Federal Theology while actually seeing the Word of God as something that is above one and that has the authority of God rather than man in it? Ahh, but now we come up against that regeneration thing...

Fear God, it is the beginning of wisdom. You can't regenerate yourself, but you can move towards God, and He says He will move towards you. Start by engaging his Word. The one you most don't want to engage. That's right, the one man mocks and teaches you to mock. For the soundest translation in English go with the Authorized - King James - Version. Yes, you will be on new ground.
