Very Good!
 
You've pointed out, quite well, the problems the KJV only people have to deal with by continuing to use that 400 year old translation.  If you pick up a later translation, some of the supposed 'errors' are shown to be a bit different.


NIV Genesis 22
 
 1.  Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"   "Here I am," he replied.
 
NIV James 1:13-14
 13.  When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
 14.  but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
 
NIV Acts 9:3-7
 3.  As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
 4.  He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
 5.  "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.   "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied.
 6.  "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
 7.  The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone.
 
 
NIV Acts 22:6-9
 6.  "About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.
 7.  I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, `Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?'
 8.  "`Who are you, Lord?' I asked.   "`I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,' he replied.
 9.  My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.
 
NIV 2 Samuel 6:20-23
 20.  When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!"
 21.  David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD's people Israel--I will celebrate before the LORD.
 22.  I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor."
 23.  And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
 
NIV 2 Samuel 21:8
 8.  But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Aiah's daughter Rizpah, whom she had borne to Saul, together with the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab,  whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
