I am a Christian, use the Greek New Testament when studying something in depth, and have my trust NIV for casual reading, but I just bought a KJV today to be able to compare scriptures. The "thee" and "thou" parts do not bug me since for the last two years I've been reading historical documents from 1500-1800. The KJV will be a sinch now. Is sinch a word? You know what I mean, I hope.

KJV Bible 1611 Published, at 303 years is 1914 after Christ and an excepted translation by law of man and God for end time days as the 1260 days or 42 months and 3 1/2 years of WW1 at Rev.11:1-3; 12:6.14.17; 13:1-5,6-10 Happened as major as Matt.23:3,[ end of world ], 7[ Major war ],14 [ Satan going out, Jesus coming in ]; 15 [ Daniel Prophecy ],22 [ the elect ],34,36-38 [ Only God knows day and hour ];
In 1963, I began to read the bible and never had time any more for religions where these get this meaning and those get that meaning. I will answer to God for the meaning I get out of it.
The only problem with KJV is a person can have two spellings for his name in one chapter, then it is different some where else or in the N.T. This takes some getting use to, Otherwise very little problems.
I love it and the history and the genealogy of Jesus, the plan of salvation for mankind and to know if any one is lost, no one else is to blame.

I am a Christian as well, I have a KJV Bible and I would definitely recommend using that over any other translation. I have found after sitting through sermons and comparing the texts of others that certain versions i.e. the NIV can be misleading and omit scripture.

Many Christian "religions" use the King James version of the Bible. to call only 2, Baptists, Evangelical loose. only endure in innovations that that's a translation of the unique textual content fabric. There are different very sturdy translations of the Bible, like the hot King James, the hot worldwide and the hot American usual, to call 3. The King James version is a competent translation, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it grew to become into the language utilized by skill of folk many, some years in the past. The English language has developed, and different variations are probable much less annoying to envision and understand now.

I'm a Wiccan.
I've got the KJV, RSV, NASB, NIV, Amplified New Testament, and probably a few others in storage. I've read throug the New Jerusalem and loved the poetic form.
I've also some Bible comentaries, dictionaries, histories and others.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, I've also got a copy of "The Other Bible", which contains many of the scriptures that were not chosen for inclusion in the Christian Bible. I also have a copy of "A Witches' Bible", which is two books written by Janet and Stewart Farrar, which is an excelent source of information regarding Wicca.

I am a Christian I like My NIV but I don't mind reading KJV I also have a new king James version. I don't think it matters unless you want deeper revelation of Gods word I usually get that on sundays though.
PS: I was wondering that maybe we should stop calling Christianity a religion and call it a relationship.

I have the KJV and the language makes me nuts so I read my New Revised Standard edition every day. I study textural criticism which involves the origins of the Bible and its interpretations as seen though the eyes of Biblical scholars. I'm an atheist and ex-Christian.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha, but I feel comfortable using the New International Version when dealing with Evangelicals, Fundamentalist, and other literalistic interpreters. The King James Version is fun to read. Folks that worry about the "thee" and "thou" 's are silly in my opinion. The fun parts are when folks start interpreting it literally first with considering the cultural context of when it was written and then without the cultural context of the language.

I like the old versions, Rheims Douay, etc. Catholic only. Some others are corrupted translations, inaccurate. BTW, I hate modern versions. I once heard a priest say, "It's enough to deal with one day's troubles." Maybe you don't care about language, but this was the modern way of saying, "Sufficient for the day are the troubles thereof," a beautifully poetic rendition of the same idea.
