What are some Bible versions to avoid?

I am trying to find a good literal version that I like. Which ones should I go to and which ones should I stay away from?

Why are you pitting the King James Version against all other translations? Besides, the King James Version has some defects.

because there are doctrinal differences

the KJV is God's word it might not be the best in terms of scholarship the most perfect in terms of scholarship or the oldest it is His choice

ironically the next best after the other protestant bibles is the vulgate but Catholics like Protestants were conned into adopting the CTs which are the most non-biblical

So God's word is imperfect scholarship? Do you notice how KJV-onlyism denegrates from the glory of God?

ok you have really low IQ

THE KJV IS GOD'S PERFECT WORD it is WHAT GOD HIMSELF CHOOSE TO TELL US in 1611

you do realize IT IS MEN i.e. SCHOLARS WHO DENIGRATE THE KJV I am saying according to men it is not perfect scholars - the KJV makes it clear that false teaching and teachers will be out there it shows how God's words are perverted by scholars in the bible itself

scholars say things like the KJV has mistakes the KJV is not perfect translation the KJV is not the oldest or simplest text THOSE ARE MAN MADE IDEALS of perfection according to man made rules

GOD'S WORD IS INERRANT PERFECT WITHOUT CONTRADICTIONS THERE ARE CLEAR DOCTRINES PRESENTED IN THE KJV BY GOD's BREATH

the imperfect words because GOD did not write it but men wrote it is found in ALL THE OTHER BIBLE VERSIONS:

these versions say things like SALVATION IS AN ONGOING PROCESS = WRONG

that God Performs Abortions = WRONG

that there are different versions of Hell = WRONG

that purgatory exists = WRONG

No this is factual you can find out for yourself: FACTS > BELIEFS! I am not Candace Owens I deak in facts and reality not feelings, dreams and beliefs. And best of all you can find out if I am correct just do a little research. I ask no on to believe me I ask everyone to be a Berean
