which is why Gutenburg printed the King James Bible, so it would spread far and wide across Europe.

Ahem. The KJV Bible was in English. Nobody spoke English in Europe in the 1500s, at least of any note. The language of the English court was French from William the Conqueror until nearly 1400. Less than 1% of Europe had any idea what English was, much less spoke it.

Do you have a clue as to what languages the first Bibles that Gutenberg published were in?

As an addendum, Gutenberg died in 1468. The KJV was published in 1611. There was 150 years between the two events. No wonder you guys have the trouble that you do with your doctrines, when you cannot keep simple timelines in order.
