Caoclan, I read your bio, and I would say whatever translation you were using to help guide your journey, use that. I'm in a PCUSA church. (read my bio for more details). I'm not a KJV only person, but I am a KJV is the best person. I use it when I teach my class. I've had no problems with people understanding it. And I teach theology to people in various levels in life. From Pastors to housewives. When I read it aloud, it also speaks with God's authority through me.

You won't find a more accurate version than the KJV, but by using another version along side of it, it can open the meaning of passages if the Kings English is obscure. But if you start using the King Jimmy, it gets easier, and the depth of knowledge that comes through more than makes up for the effort.

I hope this helps as it's just my 2 cents. (I speaketh not ex-cathedra)
