This is one of the compelling reasons I can think of to stay with the KJV. In fact, I think the church has said as much.
I'd actually be very interested in what the faithful Mormons advocating a change to another version have to say on this topic. If the KJV is as inferior as they say (and I'm not disputing that--just stating a premise), then what to say about those sections of scripture that are echoed in the Book of Mormon?
