You can be taught in Church, you can get dreams or prophecies from God, you could live with apostles in the first century or with Christ himself.
If you have Holy Spirit in you, He is working with you. If you will end on some isolated island, He will not leave you there without any relationship.
You do not need to study 70 books of the Bible into every verse to know God or to know Jesus Christ. Yes, your faith will be probably more simple, without "calvinism-arminianism" debates etc, but you will lack nothing regarding salvation and good life.

Many scholars claim that Christ and his apostles used the Septuagint, preferring it above the preserved Hebrew text found in the temple and synagogues. But if the Greek Septuagint was the Bible Jesus used, he would not have said,
In addition, Jesus only mentioned the scripture text in two ways, (1) "The Law and the Prophets" and (2) "The Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms":
Daniels, W. David (2001). What is the "Septuagint"?. Retrieved from www.chick.com/ask/articles/septuagint.asp
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:18)
Why would Jesus not have said this? Because the jot is a Hebrew letter, and the tittle is a small mark to distinguish between Hebrew letters. If Jesus used the Greek Septuagint, His scriptures would not have contained the jot and tittle. He obviously used the Hebrew scriptures!In addition, Jesus only mentioned the scripture text in two ways, (1) "The Law and the Prophets" and (2) "The Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms":
"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me." Luke 24:44
The Hebrews divide their Bible into three parts: the Law, the Prophets and the Writings. Jesus clearly referred to this. The Septuagint had no such division. In fact, it contains Apocryphal books interspersed throughout the Old Testament. The sequence is so hopelessly mixed up that Jesus could not possibly have been referring to it!Daniels, W.

The sentence "I will praise your name because you magnified your word above your name" doest not make sense.
The sentence "I will praise your name because you magnified your holy name above everything" makes clear and simple sense.
Sorry, no matter how hard you are trying to biasedly defend the KJV reading, its very obvious which one is a better reading.

God's very word exalts the Savior. When we exalt His word, the Savior is exalted. Without the word of God, we know nothing about the Savior. It is always wise to glorify the word of God. His word stand forever. We are warned about adding to or taking away from the word of God. God's word is of uttermost importance to Him and it should be to us.
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you.
1 Peter 1:23-25
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
1 Peter 1:15-16
