Trust Christ Not A Version
There are many KJV onlyistst who overlook the mistranslations in that version because they are convinced it was "inspired" by God. IT WAS NOT, the original Greek and Hebrew written down by the apostles were inspired, but all translations have inculcated into their translating, elements of their own western mindset.
I do not place my trust in any translation but in the Holy Spirit to enlighten what I read. We have the original copies of those inspired languages, but since we cannot read those, we have to depend on the Holy Spirit to help us in our understanding.
Many errors in thinking have come about because people have trusted languages in translations rather than the Holy Spirit, as well as trusting teachers and scholars over the Holy Spirit.
We should listen to people who have studied and then take what they say to the Holy Spirit rather than just buying into their view hook, line and sinker, simply because they have a Bible degree. Much that is wrong is being taught in the seminaries now and have been since the beginning of those institutions. Even Paul the apostles challenged those who heard him to go home and look to the scritpures to make sure the things he said were true. It would strengthen their faith to pray and read themselves. Paul was also teaching that we must learn from the Holy Spirit, not believing men alone. If this were true in Paul's day with the original languages, then why would we not do this with translated works, even the KJV of the Bible.
There are more likely to be problems with translations than with originals. We do not have the originals, but we do have original copies. The oldest copies should be the best ones, since the more we copy things the more likely to be errors.
Acts 17:11 "Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."
I began with the NIV, the Lord showed me many things while reading it, but as I grew in the Lord, it became clear from the Holy Spirit promptings that something wasn't right. No one warned me against it, the Holy Spirit within me did that. Also when I was questioning the matter of divorce and remarriage, everyone who knew me was against my views, it was the Holy Spirit that showed me the evil of these acts, even though the Christian culture disagreed, all the scholars I knew of disagreed.
I knew it was wrong, as I began to ask the Holy Spirit for more information, He brought to me other scholars who were saying the things the Holy Spirit was telling me, to confirm that I had heard Him right. I did not come to my conclusions because others told me what I should believe. The Holy Spirit first prompted me, then I began to research to confirm what He said to me.
Never get caught up in following a group who claim to have the only truth, but rather question all of it, take it to the Holy Spirit in prayer and remain there while He begins to show you answers. Nothing He will say will contradict the Bible, but will instead open our eyes to what is there.
