The King James did not come from the Latin Vulgate. However, the Challoner Douay-Rheims is borrowed almost entirely from the King James. I've always been amused at the thought of a bunch of late arriving immigrants speaking in thees and thous in church, as if any Catholic bible was ever permitted in English prior to the KJV. Men died trying to bring this book to us. It's a masterpiece of the English language. You use figures of speech nearly every day that come from the KJV. So, put down the pom-pons and dispense with the "go team" mentality when it comes to this book. Respect it as great English literature if your religious biases don't allow you to respect it as the most influential translation of the Word Of God to have ever existed.

All Bibles came from the Vulgate, courtesy of the Catholic Church. Apparently you don’t how to read.

Right on! How many people even realize that the "English" language we know and speak today didn't even exist until the middle ages?

Modern English, which includes the works of William Shakespeare[40] and the King James Version of the Bible, is generally dated from about 1550, and after the United Kingdom became a colonial power, English served as the lingua franca of the colonies of the British Empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language
