What version of the Bible should I read? I've heard the King James Version is garbage.

Where did you hear that? The synagogue?

I was raised in a liberal Christian environment that exclusively used the KJV. I want to read the Bible again but heard that I should avoid that one.

Heard it on Sup Forums somewhere. If the KJV is good I'll read that one.

I've always used the New American Bible: St. Joseph Edition, I like it. I've heard the KJV has errors, is missing parts, and its language, while fancy, is needlessly difficult at this point.

You need to read multiple. They are simply slight translational differences. If you only read one you don't get to see the slight translational differences which can shed new light on what the original writers meant.

Depends on what your intentions are. /lit/ could probably give you an infor graph of all the versions but KJV is mainly read for the language. It reads like an epic. The only people who call it trash are Catholics still assblassted that Henry VII wanted a little poon. The New American version is the standard for the catholic church. The others idk
The translation doesn't matter as much as the effort you're willing to put into secondary sources and the origins of the books. My advice is don't start with KJV unless you already study the English language or are Anglican (lol) or something

Thank you. I was considering reading more than one, but I wasn't sure what versions were more accurate than others or where to begin.
