why the king james only movement rejects modern translations here is what was written in the modern period the king james only movement is opposed to new translations precisely because they're officially endorsed by mainstream protestant denominations reply you would have to prove that you would have to show direct quotes direct cause and effect between the rejection by kjvo abreviated as kjvo on this page for the sake of brevity of the modern versions their own explanations of their rejections of modern versions because they are officially endorsed by mainstream protestant denominations however even if you could find such explanations in passing the reason why kjvos reject modern versions is because the modern versions are innacurate not because the official versions are endorsed by mainstream protestant denominations most kjvos would not care who endorsed a particular version if their own conclusions were that the version in question were accurate therefore to suggest that in the modern period the king james only movement is opposed to new translations precisely because they're officially endorsed by mainstream protestant denominations implies a cause and effect relationship between the conclusions of the kjvos and the basis upon which that reasoning was made which is faulty theo
