Bible Protector gives one verse in which he insists that "spirit" is correct and "Spirit" is wrong. In many other places, the KJV uses "spirit" instead of "Spirit."

This false teacher has established a capricious list of "tests" to make sure you have the only KJV you should use. Here is his list...
1. "or Sheba" not "and Sheba" in Joshua 19:2
2. "sin" not "sins" in 2 Chronicles 33:19
3. "Spirit of God" not "spirit of God" in Job 33:4
4. "whom ye" not "whom he" in Jeremiah 34:16
5. "Spirit of God" not "spirit of God" in Ezekiel 11:24
6. "flieth" not "fleeth" in Nahum 3:16
7. "Spirit" not "spirit" in Matthew 4:1
8. "further" not "farther" in Matthew 26:39
9. "bewrayeth" not "betrayeth" in Matthew 26:73
10. "Spirit" not "spirit" in Mark 1:12
11. "spirit" not "Spirit" in Acts 11:28
12. "spirit" not "Spirit" in 1 John 5:8
"Bibleprotector" would also inconsistently insist that the correct KJV rendering at Joel 2:28 is "spirit" even though it would conflict with the New Testament quotation at Acts 2:17. He would defend all the references in his so-called PCE that have "spirit" where other KJV editions have "Spirit."

Under the heading “major differences,“ KJV defender Steven White noted: “
Not capitalizing the words ‘Lord,“ “God†and “Spirit’ when it is a reference to the one true God, or not making it all capitals when it is a reference to Jehovah†(
White’s Dictionary of the King James Language, II, pp. 28-29).
