3. The books of the Apocrypha were later removed from many KJV printings
The Roman Catholic Church considers seven books of the Hebrew Bible to be canonical, which are known as the Apocrypha. In the original editions of the King James Bible, the Apocrypha were included, though not as part of either what it designated as the Old and New Testaments. During the English Civil War, of which religion was a major issue, the Westminster Confession established that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, was the written Word of God, infused with infallible truth containing all that is needed for man’s “salvation, faith, and life”. According to the Westminster Confession, the Bible in its original languages contained, “the Holy Spirit speaking in Scripture”.
The books of the Apocrypha, recognized as canonical by the Catholic Church and in many cases quoted or referenced in the Talmud, were excluded from the designation of infallibility and considered cases of human instruction rather than divine guidance. This was despite their inclusion in the earlier editions of the King James Bible, following closely their presentation within the Geneva Bible of 1560. Although they were included as an inter-testamental section of the KJV, the table of contents (or table of lessons) for many printings included several of the Books of the Apocrypha within the context of the Old Testament. For many decades they were absent for editions of the KJV entirely, though in more recent times some publishers have included them again, in a manner similar to the early editions of the King James Version.
