Edward F. Hills on the Bible Version issue.
"In regard to Bible versions many contemporary Christians are behaving like spoiled and rebellious children. They want a Bible version that pleases them no matter whether it pleases God or not. "We want a Bible version in our own idiom," they clamor. "We want a Bible that talks to us in the same way in which we talk to our friends over the telephone. We want an informal God, no better educated than ourselves, with a limited vocabulary and a taste for modern slang." And having thus registered their preference, they go their several ways. But God is bigger than you are, dear friend, and the Bible version which you must use is not a matter for you to decide according to your whims and prejudices. It has already been decided for you by the workings of God's special providence.
Why is it important that God should infallibly inspire the Scriptures, if it is not important that He should preserve them by His special providence?"
- Edward F. Hills from his book, The King James Bible Defended

For some concrete examples of this "I want it my way" mentality see "Every Man For Himself Bible Versionism"
Every Man for Himself Bible Versions - the HCSB, NET, ESV, NIV, TNIV, NKJV
"In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes." Judges 21:25
Some people have asked me what do we mean by God's Special Providence.
I believe God's hand on the King James Bible as being his special Book can be seen in many different ways. It is by far the most widely distributed and all time best seller of any book on this earth. It was even take to outer space and read from there. This will never happen again. There are historical, numerical, doctrinal and geographic facts about the King James Bible that no other bible version meets or could meet. Scoffers may mock at these things, but with those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, these things confirm and strengthen our faith in the greatest book ever in print.
Here are some of these things -
