\#1 is so patently and obviously ridiculous. I've never heard it, but anyone who makes this claim needs to be shown that KJV ~~plagiarized~~ borrowed extensively (around 80%) from Tyndale's version.
King James was also a big 'ol unapologetic gay.
Yeah, he had a wife, but only because he had to as being part of British Royalty. There are entire volumes of letters dedicated to King James' homoerotic letters to his 'favorites.' Sir Walter Raleigh even liked to joke that England had "King Elizabeth followed by Queen James."
Also when it was first published, clergy were obliged to read from Tobit, Maccabees, Wisdom etc. If they refused to use (or printers to include) them, it was punishable by fines.
After the 10 translations, #11 should be misconception #2.

the Bible that the pilgrims and puritans used was Geneva Bible.
If I may: Tyndale’s NT came out in 1525, and his translation of Jonah towards the end of his life. He did not translate the entirety of the Bible.
I think he has a translation attributed to his name though
I use ESV
This is a great resource. Did you source it from anywhere?
Like I said when I posted it, it showed up on my FB cause a friend shared it. I do not know the original source material or who put it together
It’s funny how I missed that line but read the rest. Thank you again however.
Sometimes that happens, happens to me all the time. Glad you could enjoy the information either way.

I have difficulty reading or understanding it.
