Philosoraptor on bible versions

The English it uses it outdated.

Why not have a glossary at the end? Or better yet, annotations in the margins showing what ancient words mean in today's English, like textbooks with William Shakespeare's plays have?

At that point you may as well just use today's English. It's a lot more simple that way.

They do have those. They have a lot of those.

there's a lot of translations between there's no perfect analogue between languages. there's generally two types of translations; meaning translations that try to get at the meaning, and word for word translations. Some try to combine it. Also, different translations have wording that is easier to understand for the layperson, and more inclusive to those just starting to read the bible.

orthodox is supreme

I just have a hard time understanding the words

There are multiple versions of the english bible because there's different ways you can translate ancient languages into modern english. Some translations use a more word-for-word translation which preserves the text itself and some use a more though-for-thought form which helps to communicate the overall message of the text.
The King James Bible is a great milestone in the history of the english language, but it's no without laws. It was written 300 years before the discover of the dead sea scrolls, so it relied on the Textus Receptus for the New Testament, a Greek text compiled by Erasmus from a limited number of late Byzantine manuscripts and the Masoretic Text for the Old Testament. Our knowledge of ancient languages has advanced vastly since the 17th century, and the KJV just didn't have the access to this knowledge (which isn't their fault), so it can't really provide the older and sometimes more accurate readings of the Hebrew Bible that we can get from modern, english translations.
