The KJV does not have the same source of as modern versions. Also older manuscripts does not mean they are better.

Well Genesis 1:26 is my favorite talking about the Trinity. I guess it doesn't teach it though. Then God said, “Let us make human beings[b] in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”- God in this passage is talking about The Father The Son and The HOly Spirit which is the Hebrew language is Elo Him which is the plural of El which means it refers to at least more than one God. Which is confusing because we serve one God. Basically the best example of the Holy Spirit is a man. A man can be a father, a husband and an employee, but he is still a man. The father does not have the same role as the husband the husband does not have the same role as the employee and the employee does not have the same role as the father, but they are all the man. In relation to the trinity, God is still God in three parts; The Father does not have the same role as the Son, the Son does not have the same role as the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit does not have the same role as the Father. I hope this made sense.

Some of the manuscripts used are the same. The King James was put together with the manuscripts they had available at the time. Of course there are more manuscripts now, but that doesnt mean much in the hands of some of these so called scholars.
I like the fact that there are more versions available now, but some of them are pretty bad too. I spose its best to have several versions on hand. I think King James only people are maybe just old mostly. Thats what they grew up with so thats what they like. The language is more poetic sounding and thats nice in some books of the bible but in others its just confusing. A King James version of the bible isnt much good unless you have a Strongs concordance to go with it. Oh, and I can say this because Im 55 and I grew up with the old King myself.Lol.
But there are a few things in the King James that are almost bass ackwards if I may say. I like the fact that people are interested in the subject of bible translations though thats not what this thread is about. Maybe Somebody could start a thread about translations. Its a very interesting subject.
I think it may also be a subject that must needs be, if you follow my meaning.*.* ty

May I say that years ago, the Lord told me to run away from the "Bible Versions Debate".
He said it was a waste of time.
They're all plenty good enough to get the job done.
Muslims are all hung up on our Bibles, with their religious spirits, dogmatism, etc.
I just tell them that it's obedience to what you have that counts.
We weren't there ... we're not responsible for which manuscripts are the best ones.
So what ... if your Bible is not 100% perfect from a 100% original, etc.?

This will clear up any confusion concerning the arrival of the Holy Spirit:
“But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive;
for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” (John 7:39)
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.” (John 15:26).
“But now I go away to Him (Father God) who sent Me … It is to your advantage
that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you …“ (John 16:5-7).
“… when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth …” (John 16:13).
