Yes I do read the King James Bible. The reason why is as follows:
Since the first words given by inspirations from God that were written down are no longer with us and all we have are copies, can we say all we have is God’s message?
Standard Version, 1901. We are told that these modern translations were done to update for easier reading and the changes are minor. Satan can’t destroy God’s word so he uses men to teach his method of (1) subtract a word or words (2) change a word or words (3) add a word or words (4) remove words from context. (Genesis 3:1-6) Who changed scripture? Who is responsible for this confusion? Satan is the author of confusion.
Gal 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
There is one absolute standard by which all bibles are compared, the King James Bible. So it is one against all the rest. So which one is right? Compare the following verses to the same verses in other translations.
Does the modern translation leave out firstborn son? If so, Mary was not a virgin.
Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS
Does the modern translation change “Joseph” to “father”? If so, Joseph could have been the father of Jesus.
Luke 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Does the modern translation change “blood” to “death”? If so, Jesus could have died without shedding His blood and we would not have redemption through his blood.
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Does the modern translation change “God” to “he”? If so, Jesus would not be God.
I Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Does the modern translation leave out “without a cause” in Matt 5:22? If so, Jesus was a sinner.
Matt 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.
Mark 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger,
Does the modern translation change “of” to “in” in Rom 3:22? If so, then the righteousness of God is by your faith and not by the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.
Does the modern translation change “rightly dividing” to “rightly handling” in II Tim 2:15? If so, then there is no division in the word of truth, it is all to us.
II Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Does the modern translation leave out “O Lucifer” and add “o morning star” in Isaiah 14:12? If so, then Jesus and Lucifer are the same.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.
Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Who does the modern translation say who killed Goliath? Is it David or Elhanan, or both?
I Sam 17:51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
II Sam 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

Yes. A different version every year. I've read:
- New International Version
- New King James Version
- New Century Version
- New Living Translation (my favourite, so far)
- Amplified Version
- New American Standard Bible
- Revised Standard Version.
This year I'm reading the English Standard Version. Maybe next year it will be The Message.

I read the King James because I get Bible questions from around the world. And most people still read one of the King James Bibles (Old King James, New King James, King James II). I read the NASB (New American Standard Bible) because it is a fairly good translation using modern language. I use the Hermenutika Bible Works 4 that has 30 translations in it (a Bible program on the hard disk). For the original language, I use the text of the Masora Hebrew and draw comparistons to the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) because the Septuagint was translated at a time when the Hebrew texts were in a purer state.
For getting down to the original in the New Testament there is nothing like the Aland 27 Greek/English. It is the result of comparisons between manuscripts and the latest discoveries.

There aren't a bunch of versions of the bible---there is the Catholic bible and then there is the King James Version-the Protestant Bible and the difference is ONLY that the Catholic Bible has several books that are excluded from the Protestant bible but page by page the content of both bibles is the same

I have several. My favorite is the New Century Version everyday study Bible. It is easy to understand and has educational lessons on a variety of subjects. It has study and reading guides. I have never had such a passion for the Bible as I have since I found this one. It's so much easier to devote your time reading something you understand. My knowledge of the Bible has improved greatly too.
