He removed some that were there before... That ok with you?
“The ‘king’s’ first duty was and is protector of the faith.”
Your faith? You’re ok with the King as the pope of your church?
“Did King Henry VIII ever claim one had to go through him to find Jesus?”
King Henry VIII executed people for disagreeing with his decision to divorce his lawfully wedded wife. So, yes, he was willing to excommunicate and kill those who disagreed with him.
The King James wasn’t the only English version, not even back then. It wasn’t even the first widely used English version either. What it was - is the bible of the state - backed by the King and that is why it became popular.
He removed some? He? King James is the one who commissioned the KJV in 1611. I think you have your kings mixed up. What exactly is missing that is not covered by the books that were included? See I can and have those books, while they give insight there is no big mystery in them. I mean really now given the evolution from the KJV taken by Rome it is impossible to find out who is actually in charge and does the saving. Why I hear St. Augustine or some other church deemed saint, quoted more often then Christ Himself as 'gospel' by some in the Catholic denomination.

Ah, kinda like that gal that testified before Congress recently I am a free born American and my faith does not reside in a man/woman living or returned to the Maker.

Kings tend to be sovereign rightly or wrongly. Which is why our Protestant founders formed a representative republic. NOT a church. And they allowed only the Creator could give or take unalienable rights of 'life', 'liberty', and the pursuit of happiness. Why I surely imagine a few of them had read the King James Version as to what it was that God said would bring forth life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It sure does seem that so long as we as a people remembered our beginning we have surely been blessed above all other peoples on this earth.

I suppose there is a point in these words?
