A not inconsiderable number of people hold the rather curious viewpoint that the KJV is in some way "the one true Bible", even though, in modern terms, it's not terribly good at all. Beautiful language, but not a terribly accurate representation of the "original" Biblical texts. I suspect that this person holds that view.
