Hello, Words of Wisdom:
I read the KJV about 33 years ago, then the NIV after the Living Bible, then the Amplified Bible.... Have even read the Thomas Jefferson compilation. Am reading the Aramaic translation now which will be my 12th translation.
Contrary to what you may read in the Qur'an, all those translations say Jesus is Lord, your Creator, Redeemer, Advocate, and Savior.
And a "sealed" scripture is now open that could not be unsealed until the end-of the days. See http://abiblecode.tripod.com
Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

Started out with the King James version and then went to the NIV and we have just recently gotten a new pastor and he preaches from the New American Standard Bible.

They are both Great, but I choose the King James Version. I have also read and studied from the New International Version. Why ?

I own a New King James Version Bible, but I would like to own a New American Standard Bible. The translators of the NASB used the oldest and best manuscripts, so that's what I would like to be reading.

I would rather read the NIV ... I don't like King James, only because he distorted the message for political purposes. That's not to say that I'm particularly happy with the NIV, though. If there's a better one, I'd like to know about it.

I use both.
I try to read the Bible everyday, and just for general reading, I use the NIV.
When I do Bible study, I usually look up verses in both, as it helps to give me a better overall understanding.

We use what ever we have .If we have trouble understanding the English version is better.I use New World Translation and a King James Version.

All of them. I have, NIV, KJV, NLT, Oxford, RSV, NKJV, Mormon KJV, YLT, and a few more that I can't remember right now.
I like them all, but prefer the KJV, NIV, and the NLT.

NWT: New World Translation
It's about the most accurate Bible in print and spurious portions that were placed in by misled and misguided men over the years have been removed. Rightful and corrections made to reflect the original writings of the Bible.

Neither one. I like the NASB. Or, the RSV.
....if it's all I have, I will read the KJV, but it has its problems.
I teach several Bible Studies. I have ONE RULE:
"Bring ANY Bible you want....EXCEPT the NIV!!!"
