The translations and interpretations you come up with aren't biblical or true. Seek some help from others.
Fixed that for ya!
You're ignorant of modern translations and their value to those who use them.
In Erasmus and King Jimmy's subjects you trust. Your above? A straw man and freudian slip, since you put your trust in these men yourself, you assume that others do as well, subconsciously.
In the modern versions we have both. KJV? Too many errors for those who don't blindly follow Erasmus, King Jimmy and his subjects, Sam Gipp, Peter Ruckman, Gail Riplinger &c.

While I do reference other translations, there really is something special about the KJV. It seems to radiate power and authority.

You should hear me talk. You would believe everything I say I can respect that, I have no problem with people liking it. It's a legitimate translation. It's just the 'Onlyism' I disagree with.
My trust is in God, he speaks more than one language. And you are telling porkies. You CANNOT understand ALL that is written in the KJV from the standpoint of a native Modern English speaker without looking things up.
Even the word-order is different in some places than ours is now. You aren't BORN with an innate ability to understand Shakespeare. The very act of reading it means you MUST decipher it.
Even the current reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II of The Royal House of Windsor isn't a native speaker of the King James English. So stop making lofty claims that it magically 'translates itself' on sight.

James White is an apologist for modern Bible versions and an anti-KJV propagandist. He is definitely not a textual scholar and his writings have been debunked by others who are better equipped to be objective about this issue. It would appear that he has a financial stake in this matter, but that is second-hand information.
