My preferred version is the NASB. I attend a church in which virtually every person (but me) thinks that the KJV is the only Bible that is true. The NASB is more accurate. The KJV has multiple translation errors. As a person who thinks accuracy in word usage is very important, especially in the Bible, I prefer a Bible that is more accurate. Flame away but I won’t argue.
I think that the nitpicking of versions can actually be a tool of the enemy to keep us away from God's Word, and or, dilute our relationship with one another!! I'm NOT for that at all.
What I would hate to see is the REMOVAL of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ, Messiah, Coming again, Lord and Savior.
......For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!

You are 100% correct there are errors in the KJV and as I have mentioned in a few other responses here the KJV has been revised many times since 1611.
The NASB is more accurate (compared to practically every English Bible out there) in the sense that it is a more “word for word” rendering from the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. But if the manuscript used to translate is faulty, the translation will be faulty. OK that is the theory.
I attend a church that is KJ only. I’m not KJ only but to keep from being a troublemaker I take a KJ Bible with me to church and keep my thoughts on the KJV to myself. I have a rudimentary understanding of Biblical Greek (which is not saying much) but for my at home purposes I generally use the NKJV or the 1984 version of the NIV. Oddly enough I confessed my need for a savior and placed my faith and trust in the risen Christ in 1978 while studying the original Kenneth Taylor paraphrase titled The Living Bible.
I have a really gorgeous copy of the NASB in ironed calfskin published by the Lockman Foundation. But I also have several NKJV and KJV premium bound Bibles but the one I use the most is an old beat up NKJV reference Bible.
