The King James version of The Bible is the Protestant version of the bible (not Catholic).

Answer

People believe the version of the Bible that best expresses their particular doctrine. The King James Version was begun in the very early 1600s and was, of course, commissioned by King James I of England. It was written to reflect the structure of the Church of England and its beliefs and used a wide variety of sources since there were many Bibles in existence for hundreds of years. There were earlier English translations and several versions were used concurrently.

Remember that the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew into Greek long before the birth of Christ. The Catholic Bible, the New Testament, was a compilation of all types of writings in existence in the Fourth Century that were handpicked for inclusion by church hierarchy. It was compiled several centuries after the life of Christ. That explains the contradictions, various styles of writings and misidentification as to the original authors, and the possibilities for questioning its being anything more than a compilation of stories, lessons and persuasive writings. It was rendered in Latin.

Since the scriptures and gospels were handpicked over the many available at that time who can say what is accurate and what is agenda. Since the translators and scribes are anonymous who can say what the original manuscripts actually set forth. It was copied by hand over and over and each copy reflected the perspective and priority of its scribe and the entity who commissioned the copy. The early church fathers were often in conflict with each other and many were extremely aggressive in their influence on the development of the Church and its Bible.

For centuries Bibles were closely held and there were no copies available to the public. You can read the interesting history of the English Bible at the links provided below.
