Do we have any biblical scholars here?
“I’ve always wondered whether King James employed the best experts on archaic Greek and Aramaic and created an accurate translation of the ancient texts or whether he had an ax to grind and took some liberties with the translation.
Do we have any biblical scholars here?”
Not a scholar but an answer to your question, Yes! It is.

There is no need to simply take it on faith, read the article. There is no room for doubt.
I do take it on Faith, though. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of the One True God Almighty, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He was born of a virgin, lived a 100% perfectly sinless life and gave His life on the cross that I may be reunited with God forever. He now indwells my heart and body and I no longer live but Jesus lives through me. This is how Adam and Eve originally lived before they sinned and were driven out of the Garden. This is how my Lord lived when He walked on this Earth. In perfect union with His Father. This is how we were created to function. You can have this perfect union, too.
