Theologian? I read a sneer regarding the KJV. It does seem rather odd that a protestant King would commission a translation for the commoners to have and hold, and the adherents to Rome continually have ugly reactions. I do not read Latin, Greek, or Hebrew, but, with the KJV and a Strong's concordance, I can find that the word 'easter' was never uttered by any prophet or disciple/apostle as something to be celebrated. God gave each of us a brain, and HE took the time to send HIS instructions as to what path leads to life eternal. The so called old testament has a whole lot of Balaams recorded. Why there were so many more rebel hard-heads recorded in the so called old, that the House of Israel was divorced and sent into captivity. Then around 200 years later the House of Judah was sent packing to Babylon because of the same practices.
As it is Written there is nothing new under the sun, that which has been will be again.... Ecclesiastes 1 Paul must have been well versed in Ecclesiastes because he repeats the same warning in ICorinthians 10:11.
“Theologian? I read a sneer regarding the KJV.”
The sneer was just a diversion. It’s one of their primary tactics. It’s best not to let them draw you into their multitude of rabbit holes. You’ll just be wasting your time.

Couple things here.
Back then, the official church of England was the self named, CoE. You could be executed (and many were) for practicing Catholicism.
Folks have said that the Emperor Constantine perverted Christianity by making it an official religion, but that’s precisely what King Henry VIII did. He established the official church in England.
Are you saying that you regard the KJV as the expression of God when it comes from the same root as King Henry VIII as being the ‘official’ bible of the CoE?
You don’t see a problem with this? A King - taking the bible and publishing it and then forcing people to use it? An earthly King telling you what to do and believe?
