No. Your claim is exactly the same argument made by Mormons, who I think both of us can agree are NOT Christian. Only one bible is correct and the rest are mistranslated and perverted. If you don't follow this singular version your faith is perverted because nothing else is right.
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
When you place modern bibles (a few exceptions which are easy to spot) next to each other, then read an interlinear along side them, you see the translation methods used and see that the argument doesn't hold water. Just because wording is different from one bible to another doesn't make one wrong and one correct. The argument of "missing" passages is old hat also, because when you actually check manuscripts that we have, those missing passages don't show up in the earliest versions of THOSE manuscripts. So does that mean that people added on to the word? Does it mean that it was divinely inspired to be added hundreds of years later?
Brother: If you find salvation and truth in a 1611 KJV, God bless you. But God can preserve His word, and His kingdom will never fade from this world. MANY people have found salvation in the pages of "modern" bibles. And at the end of the day, pointing someone to Jesus is the most important thing. Everything else will fall in place afterwards, as long as faith in Him is the cornerstone.
There can only be one true Word of God, just like there is one true Gospel and One True King. You are being a relativist.
You don't find salvation through reading a Bible. You have to hear the Gospel to be saved.
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I have a question if you don't mind, from your understanding, how does a Christian get saved? And once saved, could a Christian ever lose their salvation if they did something wicked?

Then why aren't you fluent in hebrew and greek to read the source material directly?

And where is this message contained? In the Bible? Or should I look to the Torah, Quran, Book of Mormon for the gospel?

By realizing you are a flithy sinner, and that NOTHING you can do will EVER save you. In that moment when you repent and cry to Jesus to save you and place your faith in Him to guide and save you, you gain salvation. Everything else is an outward expression of an inward dedication and love. And I think the question of salvation is a slightly skewed way of looking at it. I prefer to see it as: Was a person ever saved to begin with? Did they ACTUALLY give themselves over to our Lord, or did they just play lip service hoping that the sky genie will give them what they want?
