Only one version?

well I am not going to comment on any of the past replies.. but rather to go back to the original issue this thread is based on...
I am rather interested in biblical translation, or palology to be more correct.
I certainly believe that all english renditions of the bible fall somewhat short of the orignal as all translated texts do, this is why I believe it to be very important for us to do our study... Do any of us just take a text book and say it is good cause it has been called a text book.. no.. we research.
Now to look at the Kjv, I think it is a very good translation but it lacks because it used far inferior translations of ancient scripture than that of what we have today found, eg.. the Dead Sea Scrolls and other findings... makes me wonder how many ancient manuscripts sit in attics and basements just waiting for the palologist to get there hands on.
One must also look at the reasoning that a particular translation is being translated, is it a study book? is it a reading book? what element do the translators need to work towards.. there are many factors inside of the translations.. but one thing that must be held as tantamount to us christians comes from scripture itself, James 1:5 to 8.. let us ask God.. after all we know of our personal relationship with him... and Proverbs 3 verse 5 and 6.
