Fallacies easily identified

I recently ran into a very interesting fallacy. I think that it is somewhat common, yet it begs several logical questions. A particular group makes the following claims 1) the Bible refers to the 66 books beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation, as they were originally written. 2) That the 1611 authorized King James Version is the only completely correct version of the Bible. 3) that the Bible is the complete and final word on how to live life.
The fallacy I first noticed was in looking at the first two of those points together. You see, the 1611 version of the King James Bible contained 81 books. This included the Deuterocanonical books (therein titled the Apochrypha). Which books are divinely inspired? 66 of them or all 81?
The next fallacy is the issue of authority. What makes King James worthy of making scripture authoritative? Where did the scriptures that were translated into English in 1611 come from? Where did the idea that certain books belonged in scripture and were the inspired word of God come from? Historically, the Catholic Church preserved, translated and disseminated Holy scripture.  For many centuries, copies of scripture had to be done by hand and they were rare and valuable. When Catholic missionaries translated the scriptures into local tongues, it took time to copy them and receive authorization from the Church to use them in the churches. With the invention of the printing press, every guy and his brother wanted to produce a copy of the Bible. Numerous mistakes cropped up in the plethera of unauthorized versions of the Bible that cropped up. The King James itself had problems where obvious errors made it into the published books.  Can the 1611 version of the KJV be trusted as containing the scriptures perfectly translated from the original words and maintaining the original sense of the words written by the authors of thousands of years prior? I would say no.

Contrary to what most have been led to believe, there were English Bibles which were authorized by the Church prior to the reformation and prior to the flood of unauthorized Bibles which came onto the market in the 14 th and 15 th centuries. Many felt that the Catholic Church had been too slow to produce a printed version of the Bible in English, but one must keep in mind how very seriously the Catholic Church takes Holy Scriptures and orthodox Christian teaching. The version which finally came out, the Douay-Rheims was a very accurate and carefully done translation. It also had as source material more ancient extant copies of scripture than other versions of its time. From the time of the Ascension forward, Peter was the recognized leader of the Christian Church, and his descendants ( that is those who studied under Peter himself and those he had taught directly) continue to fill this important function of protecting the faith that Jesus taught to Peter and the restof the Apostles. The gospel tells us that Jesus established a Church, a living body of believerswho would carry out His Work. Should we trust the authority of an organization which kept the scriptures inviolate for 1500 years before it was questioned, or should we trust the Johnny-come-lately English King who was known for displaying homosexual tendencies

By the way, this group completely condemns homosexuality in any form, yet somehow givethe arguably homosexual king who authorized their version of scripture a pass.
If my heart were not broken for these dear, misinformed people, I could find it laughable.
I think that any group that expects you to turn your brain off and stop thinking for yourself is a cult. One thing I love about my church is that I am invited to apply faith and reason. Things have been carefully studied over the course of centuries and given expression in ways that many can connect with.
I hope that those involved in these groups will pray the Holy Spirit open their eyes to truth as they read scriptures. Even the flawed KJV contains enough of the truth to inform one seeking Christ earnestly.
The unbiased, Spirit led, reading of scripture taught me truths I had previously denied and I experience a fullness of faith I never did before I came full circle to the faith of my childhood, the Catholic Church. I don'T
