That's my situation and I'm glad to not have been taught to use the newer translations since the old King Jimmy is overall the most accurate.

I do believer this is so. I started reading the Bible in English in 1976 when I truly began serving God. In 1978 a friend who was a Russian translator bought me a German Luther and Spanish Valera Bible. He knew I translated those languages and from then I have been reading the Bible in the three languages. I don't argue the point with people but for me King James English matches those languages best in grammar.

The main reason I like it it is goes hand in hand with my Strong's Concordance making it easy to dig in to the greek and hebrew

I have a Cruden's but mostly I use the Strong's.

Wow, that's cool.
Do the German and Spanish Bibles give a different flavor on some passages unique to the language?

Yes. I used to read them together for the purpose of comparison, but I stopped that many years ago.

Now I read in only one language on any given day. I rotate the days so that I better retain the foreign languages since I rarely speak anything but English any more.

Watch out for the Bible translations that have the triquetra symbol on them, trying to pass it off to represent the Trinity .... but the symbol is an ancient pagan symbol for the pagan moon goddess trinity.

The Triquetra meaning for Christians was simple – it was a handy tool for teaching the ways of Christianity and the Holy Trinity. It would’ve been easy enough to work with something familiar to teach new lessons of faith.

In fact, versions of the Triquetra meaning from the Celtic Christianity period formed the sign of the fish, a symbol synonymous with Christianity.
