I don't care what version one wants to use, that's up to the individual, but there's no law in against recommending why... to not use those later post-1881 versions.
What Bible Translations Do You Prefer?

And I sometimes refer to the Living Bible that is heavily paraphrased, when it makes a Truth more clear. But that is not very often it does that. So I rely on the KJV for accuracy.
agreed
You're braver than I am.
I have a copy of the Authorized KJV New Testament that I got from the Gideons for day to day study. I have underlined many passages and scribbled in the margins. It's not the easiest to read in parts so I keep my phone handy for looking up difficult sections online but I do like the feel of it. Ironically I can't read the KJV Old Testament. For the OT I stick to ESV or NIV.
Amen.
2 Timothy 2:16:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”
KJV
“All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness;” NASB
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,” BSB
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,” ESV
if i might ask what led you to getting saved?
It all began on an LSD trip, but I won’t go into details ‘cause it’s a looong story.
a LSD /acid led you to salvation ?
We would have to carry this conversation through a PM if you wish.
actually i am interested in your testimony coming to Christ
that would be fine how ever you wish
I agree that pretty much all... Bible versions keep the basic Message of The Gospel. But those in Christ are not to treat The Gospel like we are a new babe believing like a first time all over again, and again, and again. Once we have believed The Gospel we are supposed to mature in God's Word. And I say this with the ability to preach The Gospel from just about every Book of The Bible, because it is there.
There is no textual nor historical proof though that the valid MV have corrugated the bible at all, as NO major doctrines have been affected, and they are easier to read with understanding then the kjv!
One can become very mature in versions such as nas and Nljv and Esv, along with the Kjv!
I recommend using many good translations!
Like I said, I don’t care to debate this topic or persuade others of my convictions, but after 40+ years of looking into this matter, the Majority Text is my personal preference.
The problem is not with that view, but the view held by KJVO!
Differences Between the Majority Text and the Textus Receptus
King James Onlyists often defend their position by claiming that the KJV is based on the vast majority of manuscripts, but this is not really the case.

If I knew for sure the Critical Text was the one doing the tampering, I would be ‘Majority Text Only, but I’m not 100% certain, I only lean that way.
