Why would you want to give up on the King James Bible?
May I suggest a good King James study Bible? If you have difficulty with the language and some of the ''out of date'' words, a study Bible may clear things up for you. I've tried a few, but I found I wanted more. I settled on the Henry Morris study Bible for my daily reading. It's King James, it has modern word aside from the text for out of date words, and LOTS of notes and study text below the Scriptures. Now there is one thing about the Henry Morris study Bible...it's huge, and heavy. It's printed in number 11 font and over 2,200 pages. It's not really one to carry to church. It's more a Bible to place at your every day study place and use it. I've only seen it printed in King James and it's a pleasure to read.
Synopsis
The Henry Morris KJV Study Bible is an invaluable apologetic Bible study tool for the defense of the Christian faith, including biblical creationism, that highlights the foundational truths of Genesis found in all the other 65 books of the KJV Bible. The comprehensive apologetic study bible notes provide answers to questions related to doctrinal issues, as well as scientific matters, such as geology, earth history, astronomy, biology, and other sciences.

Many want to move on from the KJB for various reasons whether language or they want a bible that has used the latest manuscripts.
Here is a list on popular bibles with their translation philosophy.
I have bolded three that I use among others. Hope this helps.

| Bible | Translation Philosophy |
|---|---|
| Christian Standard Bible (CSB) | Optimal equivalence; balances literary precision and readability. |
| Contemporary English Version (CEV) | Simplifies language for readability; emphasizes understandability and accessibility. |
| English Standard Version (ESV) | Literal word-for-word translation with modestly updated language. |
| King James Version (KJV) | Classical, word-for-word translation using early 17th-century English. |
| New American Standard Bible (NASB) | Prioritizes literalness for depth of study while updating the language. |
| New International Version (NIV) | Blends accuracy and readability for a global English-speaking audience. |
| New King James Version (NKJV) | Maintains traditional language; updates archaisms of original King James. |
| New Living Translation (NLT) | Thought-for-thought translation to convey ideas in everyday language. |
| New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) | Balances word-for-word and thought-for-thought with modern English usage. |

None, I stick with KJB. Satan is attavking me.
You are not asked to give up reading the KJV. Disagreeing with human, non-scriptural KJV-only opinions is not being against the KJV and is not being against someone reading the KJV. I have read the KJV over 60 years.
The doctrine of truth taught in the KJV should encourage you to give up the making of non-true claims for the KJV and non-true accusations against other English Bibles.
You can stick with the KJV if you want to. It is still an excellent Version. But you are going to have to learn it's language. It was written in "Early Modern English ", not to be confused with " Current Modern English".

The King James Bible is written in "Biblical English." Anyways, I am sticking with the King James Bible. Satan might have gotten for a minute for doubting the KJB and deciding to go for an another Bible. No Satan, I will not.
There is nothing wrong with using 2 or 3 Versions. You should acquire a New King James Version to go along with your KJV.

Dear Conan:
I had a NIV/ESV/NKJV before using the King James, never read it, anyways the NKJV is not fully KJB. I will stick with the King James Bible, the Pure Cambridge Edition and nothing else.
Amen.

The King James was diligently compared with the formal languages and other versions. I do not need to read any other version. I have the word of God, nothing less, nothing more. Its quite sad that 3rd world countries not have much access to the King James Bible. I am grateful that God will always bring a way.
Brother, Satan is always on the attack. He's a sneaky and sometimes a subtle enemy who uses just a ''part'' of God's word to cast doubt or cause us to question it. Example; ''Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?'' to Eve in the garden. We must always be on guard and pray that the Lord will lead us in all matters.
I've tried several other versions and have always come back to the King James as my daily reader. I have a 1611 reprint I read on occasion, the difference being mainly spelling and the trade off of some letters which were corrected around 1768 I believe by Miriam Webster in the first English standard dictionary, (prior to that, spelling was more or less what the writer was used to). If you look at closely and read our founding fathers documents such as the Declaration Of Independence, Constitution, Bill Of Rights, etc. you'll see some old spellings mixed with Webster's ''proper'' English. Our standard King James is the same as the 1611 edition with Webster's standard spelling.
I've, ''been there and done that'' myself and came back to the King James as God's word. I have complete faith in it. I also use Strong's concordance and Unger's Bible dictionary. I've yet to find a really good Bible Atlas that satisfies me, but I'm still looking.

Read the Bible that you choose. But don't condemn those of us who do not read the King James much anymore.
I don't condemn those who read the King James. Read it in peace. It's just not my preferred Bible anymore.

I always found that I was always wrong when doubting the King James or any thing that cometh up on the internet to make me doubt. God always had a way to connect with people that knew the answers, and the King James was vindicated. Paradoxes annualted. To God be the Glory!!!Brother, Satan is always on the attack.

I recently encountered the question about:
Matthew 24:32
Mark 13:28
The fig tree can be female or male, and a tree is a man's life. God created Adam, male and female created he them.

You say you have doubted the King James. Why? I don't doubt it. It's just not my preferred Bible to read.
I will delete as you as requested. More than once. Sorry to see you go.
In order to get to that reasoning, you have to ignore textual criticism as was practiced by 1611 Translators, the 1560 Geneva, and all modern translations since 1881 forward.
Many KJVO always leap to us assuming that when we disagree with their perfection view on Kjv, we are sayings its no good and no longer valid.
Truth is Kjv was and still is very good, but that other modern versions can also be considered word of God to us today, and that the Kjv is not that perfect version.
