Everyone needs to do their own research on translations and why its a big-deal, but listening to KJV's and Modern's go back n forth is discouraging.
Personally, I want it in any language (old or modern) that doesn't water-down the message I'm not on a KJV-team or a Modern-team. I will follow the translation the is the closest to the Manuscript.
The best we can do to help each other is give personal testimony - "I like such-n-such Bible because of this-that-n-whatever." All anyone knows is their own experience. A person can share that without bashing others and their experiences. It's embarrassing to listen to believers talk about the words of Christ, but what they exhibit is hatred to one another. It is evident that neither side "gets it."
I am ashamed if I have ever answered unlovingly. I'm not ashamed that someone knows more than me, or has a better translation, but that I may have shown that Christ's words don't "abide in me" by my responses.
