"The Bible was originally published in 1611, written by man called King James."

Someone ought to make King James work easier to read.  Too many "thee and thou" words.

The King James is not an accurate translation.

Wasn't King James a homo?
I seem to remember reading about how he was a total degenerate who wasn't Christian and had a full time boyfriend.
or...maybe that was Queen James?

LOLOL!

I never heard that before... Queen James... hahahaha

The more recent translations are much better but my favorite is ArtScroll's.

That kind of behaviour was always very common among the European aristocracies.

Centuries before 'globalization' as we know it, the aristocracies of various countries were thoroughly globalized and inter-married. 

Basically all of the evil forms of behaviour that are common among everyone today were common among the European elites for many centuries ... the bad behaviour, so to speak, has filtered down gradually to the masses over the years.

If you want to see what the common folk will be like in 100 years' time, observe their aristocracy.  So in Britain, if you look at the likes of Prince Charles, who is on the verge of converting to Islam, and his son Prince William, who wore a Nazi swastika to a toff's party, you see the urgent need for Jewish people to get out of Britain FAST.  Because Britain will be a Nazi-Muslim state by the end of this century ....

I read the king james. What is the more accurate version?

KJV was translated out of the traditional Massoretic text like any other translation.  All Bibilcal translations (both from Jewish and Christian) have their inaccuracies.

In our Christian circles Revised Standard Version is considered to be the closest translation to the Hebrew Tanach.

After the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls both Jewish and Christian scholars should come up with an accurate translation of the Bible.

Translators should also refer other ancient Bibles like Targum (Aramaic translation), Peshitha (Syriac language translation), Vulgate (Latin language) and Septuagint (Greek). 

I agree with Yacov that the Tanach available in Hebrew is the most accurate of all.  I wish I know Hebrew to study the mysteries of the Tanach, the acrostic Pslams and the style of Isaiah.

CZ, I'll be honest, the Christian "translations" are laughed at they are so poorly translated. The only translations that are worth anything are Jewish ones, which are based off of not just the Tanach but also the ancient Targums like Yerushalmi and Onkelos. The easiest to use is Artscroll but they are all pretty good.

I would recommend to all righteous Christians to mix your bible. Use the Hebrew Bible instead of the "Tanach " for your readings. And then get a separate copy of the Christian New Testament.

I do the that.  I use the Jewish Bible, Tanach The Holy Scriptures - The New JPS Translation According To The Tradional Hebrew Text.
By The Jewish Publication Society, Philadelphia.

I also respect great Jewish scholars Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Kimhi, Saadia Gaon, Rambam and others as great grammarians and philologians even though I do not agree with their theology.
