Why do most conservative Christians believe the Authorized (King James) Version Bible is the most reliable translation?

Asked by Jabe73 (4010points) September 26th, 2010

I am aware of several types of bibles including: the Septuagint, Vulgate, Luther’s German Bible, Revised Standard Version, New International Version, Young’s Literal Translation, Douay Rheims Bible and several other versions as well. Why do the majority of conservative Christians consider the Authorized (King James) Version Bible the most accurate translation of the true word of God?

I am aware there may be a few Christians on here who may be somewhat knowledgable on this subject as well as many atheists/agnostics (many of whom were former Christians themselves). Trying to keep the answers on topic I guess what I am looking for here is what evidence is there that the AKJV Bible may be the most accurate translation of the word of God compared to other translations of the bible?
