One of the best kept theological secrets is that the Bible used by the
modern Protestant Church is not the original King James Bible.


Only half of the original Books of the Apocrypha are in the Catholic Bible


The Apocrypha fills a 400 year gap missing from the King James Bible.



In the original 1611 King James Version, the translators cross-referenced
verses from "Apocrypha" books, in the margin notes.


In 1615 Archbishop Gorge Abbott, an original translator, "forbade anyone to issue a Bible without the Apocrypha on pain of one year's imprisonment"


Until the late 19th Century, most early Bibles contained the Apocrypha.


The Apocrypha was not officially removed from the King James
Bible until 1885 by the Archbishop of Canterbury.


With the removal of the Apocrypha, over 15%, or more than 155,000
of the original 930,000 words are missing from the Bible.
