I find it very useful to look up Bible verses on biblegateway.com.

It has a couple dozen different Bibles. You can look up a verse, and see how the different versions say something slightly different -- sometimes, quite different.

Anyone who only reads the KJV, is completely ignorant of the fact that it is only ONE English language version. Other versions often translate certain words for phrases differently.

I particularly like to compare and contrast the KJV with Wycliffe, Young's Literal Translation, and the Expanded Bible. A quick drop down menu lets you compare and contrast.

Sometimes, they are the same. Other times, there are some real differences.

This drives home the point that different men throughout history translated the original Hebrew and Greek differently when they were creating the various English versions.

This means that some English versions must necessarily be WRONG in some verses.

And if you learn a little Hebrew and Greek, and compare with those, then the picture changes, sometimes in significant ways.

But the main point is that MOST churches NEVER discuss this, which means that MOST Christians NEVER learn what the Bible actually says -- at least, not from going to church.
