One of the leading arguments for a KJV-only view in several books by KJV-only authors is a two-streams-of-Bibles argument. One stream is identified as the pure stream of Bibles by KJV-only authors and the other stream is claimed to be a corrupt stream of Bibles.

One of the Bibles placed on the KJV-only view's pure stream of Bibles is the 1535 Coverdale's Bible.  The 1535 Coverdale's Bible is one of the pre-1611 English Bibles of which the KJV is a revision.

Peter Ruckman listed the 1535 Coverdale's Bible on his good tree of Bibles. D. A. Waite wrote: ?The Coverdale Bible (1535) used the Received Text? (Defending the KJB, p. 48). In another book, D. A. Waite listed Coverdale's as being based on ?the Traditional Text/Textus Receptus? (Foes, p. 38; see also Central Seminary Refuted, p. 110). Thomas Holland indicated that Coverdale's was ?based on the Traditional Text? (Crowned with Glory, p. 77). Bob Steward maintained that Coverdale?s Bible ?is the product of the Received Text? (God?s Invisible Hand, p. 11). Dick Cimino suggested that the 1535 Coverdale's came ?from the same type Greek Text? as the KJV (The Book, p. 14). David Daniels identified Coverdale's Bible as an Antiochian Bible (Answers, p. 18). James C. Kahler included Coverdale's Bible in his circle of Bibles that ?came directly from the Traditional Text line and were good Bibles? (Charted History, p. 25).

Gail Riplinger suggested that Coverdale ?compared pure Holy Bibles in various languages? (In Awe, p. 37). Gail Riplinger asserted that Coverdale ?was intimately involved in the process of the Bible?s being ?given? (2 Tim. 3:16) and ?purified? (Ps. 12:6, 7) in English? (Hazardous Materials, p. 1165). Riplinger maintained that ?God entrusted Wycliffe and Coverdale with the transmission of the text? (p. 1167).

Here are some facts from the 1535 Coverdale's Bible on the KJV-only pure stream of Bibles which KJV-only authors seem to keep hidden or which they avoid or dodge. Some of the spelling in the 1535 Coverdale's Bible is updated to be more like that in present KJV editions.
