What Bible version(s) do you use and why?

I use primarily the KJV, but I do have a couple of modern English Bibles I refer to occasionally.

Does it make any difference? Are they all the same?

Clearly they're not all the same. Otherwise, they wouldn't be "different translations."

[CantWait2Leave]

I read the NIV, but I'm thinking about getting a NASB. My mother-in-law is the manager of a Christian bookstore and she was showing me the differences between the versions. It seems the NASB is closest to the original.

[LuminousTruth]

I use the original version that Jesus carried around. *end sarcasm*
