The only changes in the editions of the KJB were correcting printing errors and updating spelling etc. All of them are God's perfect words in English.

So the "Britches" Bible was a "printing error"

The Apocrypha wasn't considered canonical so it was removed due to printing costs.

I iknow that this might be difficult for you to grasp, but think about this:

Theduetrocanicals were first rejected byt he EXACT same people that rejected Christ, when they came up with the Palastinian Canon 70 years after Christ.

Second the Alexandrian Canon had been in use for over 100 years before Christ.

Third the Alexandrian Canon was the one that Christ and the Apostles referred to.

Fourth the Ethiopian Jews still use the Septuagint.

Fifth No Christian Group Rejected this canon until 1500 years after Christ.

Each of these is a fact easily verifiable by secualr sources.

Please look up your own secular sources and prove me wrong.

The Jewish scriptures were settled before the birth of Christ.

“For example, Josephus, the noted Jewish historian, states that the prophets wrote from Moses to Artaxerxes (a contemporary of Malachi), and then he adds, “It is true our history hath been written since Artaxerxes... but hath not been esteemed of the like authority with the former by our forefathers, because there hath not been an exact succession of the prophets since that time (quoted in Geissler and Nix, 1986, p. 271).” Likewise, the Talmud, a Jewish commentary on the Scriptures, writes, “After the latter prophets Haggai, Zechariah,...and Malachi, the Holy Spirit departed Israel (quoted in Geissler and Nix, 1986, p. 27 1).”

It was acceptable in the Catholic Church prior to Trent in the 1500 to question the canon status of the Apocrypha. Luther’s accuser, in fact, did so.

Jerome was also less than thrilled by them:
