"I realize it is a more modern English, but the KJV is still readable for those who have good reading skills."

Good for you. Read away. I've read Beowolf in old English and The Canterbury Tales in Middle English. I've read most of the works of Shakespeare. I know from good reading skills. hehe... I also know from good spoken English. I'm not looking for a literary experience. I just want to get up and read the Bible every morning. You read what you want, I'll read what I want. There are some mornings I might want to read some Children's Bible. This year I may skip some of the really tedious parts. But, its better than not reading it at all and that's my point.

I cannot Study a Children's Bible or a mistranslated one. Since I am called to Study Gods Word, I will get a Bible that matches as close as possible to the original text. Until one closer is available that is the KJV.
