You can mostly trust the new testament, as it was written in Greek and can easily be referred to and compared with King James and other Eng translations.

Old Testament however has quite a few inaccuracies of Hebrew words with English translations that can be completely misleading in its intended meaning. Especially in Genesis where a few key mis-translations can really alter the entire conceptual basis of the writings. There's a lot of resources out there if you're looking to dive deeper. Might be tougher now on the modern web, but focus in on old hebrew and the old testament to get started.

Fair warning though: always be prepared for some dogmatic fundamentalists to lash out with pure hatred and acidic vitriol when even attempting to discuss this topic with christians in America.
