There are many out there, but here's one of the first ones that came up in a search:

Hey there, Budge!

I'm a touch confused by what you mean with "KJV supportive." If you are honestly interested in knowing about translations then you should know where the KJV comes up short. I'm not against the KJV, but one needs to realize where it translates things incorrectly, or borrows heavily from the Latin Vulgate, etc.

This is one big reason I am a proponent of the New King James. It corrects many of the translational problems in the KJV, and is a very good version.

Personally, I use the NASB and ASV, 1901.

The first website that Conservpride listed above is a KJV-Only site. I believe that KJV-Onlyism is wrong. And it reminds me much of the papal control of Scripture during the Dark Ages, quite honestly. I am all for a literal translation, and here is a good site that shows some of the differences between them:

Im just learning about Bible Translations pilgrim! But perfer KJV. Some NKJV is good, it does read well.

Conservepride, thanks for the link!

Sounds good to me, Budge!

But if you're going to read the KJV you might want to know that some parts of it were brought over from the Latin Vulgate. Here are a couple interesting sites that pinpoint some of the debated issues concerning the KJV:

KJV Resource Center (http://www.kjvonly.org/)

...variety of Translations is profitable (http://www.tegart.com/brian/bible/kjvonly/index.html)

Age Two Age, a "discernment" website has some good information.

Try reading Ankerberg and Weldon's Expose' on the KJV only debate. they not only dispell myths, but they expose the truth about the manuscripts and the translations.

Word to the wise, ignore anything Gail Riplinger. She has written her book expressly with G. A. Riplinger because "G-d and Riplinger wrote it..." ...."it was G-d doing the writing, I was just moving the pen".

Oy vay.

Yes, James White quotes her a number of times in his KJV-Only Controversy book. Her humility is humbling...so much so it makes my stomach turn.
