Read the King James Bible only. The New-age Bible translations have perverted God's Holy Bible by omitting verses, deleting key words and phrases in order to diminish God's power, confuse Christians and redefine what sin is. See the link document for details. God bless you.

Yes—excellent!
So many people here would enjoy a good class or two on where the Bible came from. The KJV is a translation from a translation. Jerome translated the Greek and Hebrew into Latin around 400 AD, and it was called the Vulgate. KJV was translated from the Vulgate. Now, we have over 1,000 pieces of ancient manuscripts of the New Testament. There is NO other ancient work which has anything even close. It is really amazing.
The goal of any good translation is to understand the meaning. We have at our literal fingertips, so many resources. Download the Bible Hub app. Then you can go to Strong’s Concordance, look up the scripture in the original language, cross reference it with other verses, look up commentaries, Bible maps, etc.
But please—no more arguing over one translation—they are all translations. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and give you understanding as you read. Find a good teacher who can answer questions. God knows you are searching. He will guide you.
The King James was not translated from the Latin Vulgate. The King James is based on the Hebrew Masoretic OT and the Textus Receptus Koine Greek New Testament.
Erasmus based his compilation Greek translation of the New Testament on the Textus Receptus, the same texts as the King James Bible, but didn't have a full copy of Revelation in the original Koine Greek, and used the Latin Vulgate for just those passages, and just for his first translation.
Erasmus published his first Greek NT in 1516, nearly 100 years before the KJV was put together. His subsequent revisions to his Greek New Testament were not based on the Vulgate in any way.
