Where DID the KJV come from? Since it was written in the 1600s, it derived from earlier sources -- and all the earlier sources available to it at that time were the Roman Catholic, Latin Vulgate versions.

I hate to bust your bubble but the Latin Vulgate is a translation from the original Greek. (Sadly though Jerome didn't believe the Apocrypha belong in it, he was "persuaded" to include it.) There were no Roman Catholics in the early Church.

The KJV is derived from Catholic sources -- there are NO other sources as the Church was one until the reformation -- the name 'Roman Catholic' only came about as a result of the Reformation. Where then, does the KJV come from???
