Biblical movement
There are messianic translations, oriental ... There are also believers who prefer one Bible translation to the rest. In the west, all kinds of movements are popular. Not infrequently believers, especially traditional denominations tend to respect patriarchs and fathers of faith, respect and old documents, especially the ancient translations of biblical texts.
They are carefully stored, which is correct. And as a result, they become more correct than the original.
They are elevated to the rank of infallibility.
Russia
We have people in our country who consider the translation of the Old Slavic translation to be correct. Even without knowing this language. For others, the original is the synodal translation of the Bible of 1876 AD, All other translations, not serious ones.Orthodoxy
The Septuagint (the translation of the Scriptures into Greek) is basic.Catholicism
Vulgata (the translation of the Bible into Latin) is basic.English
For a long time in English there was one good level of translation - KJV (King James Version).It is still high level, it has many updated versions. For many readers in English, KJV is practically original.
King James Only movement
Movement "only the King of Jacob" They believe that KJV has preserved the only true words - which from other translations and publications have disappeared - rather, they were removed by "enemies." About the textology, different interpretations in the manuscripts they do not want to hear anything. We have such a movement in Ukraine "Church of the Biblical Believers".They translated the New Testament and part of the Old Testament from KJV into Russian.
By the way, translation of the translation is like a spoiled phone. Such a translation is not better, but definitely worse.
He who knows English will immediately see what kind of translation is.

Red-Letter Christian
Red-Letter Christian - Red-Letter Christians. The name is taken from the 'Red letter edition' - a publication where the words of Jesus are highlighted in red.There is such an out-denominational movement that is focused on the teachings of Jesus.
The idea itself is reasonable. You can not take any text of the Bible as the words of God, much less as the commandment of God.
There are words in the Bible that the devil says, through which we know his tricks.
In Job's book there are great speeches of Job's friends, and in the end God said that they are wrong.
You probably encountered wrestlers against Christmas. I do not think that we have to choose Christmas or Easter. Or cancel on March 8. These are different things, like my birthday - it's not a biblical holiday, do not celebrate what? The essence of their goal - today the church pays much attention to abortion, homosexuality, but Jesus taught more to build a family, to fight poverty. Their goal is the displacement of the vector.
