Not true. The answers are not identical. The King James translators were not paid, neither did they do the work for a private corporation that was earning money by the project.

I researched King James years ago and found many of the things anti-King James critics said about him were false. I do not remember whether or not he was immersed, but maintaining the word "baptize" was very clearly identified in the beginning, just as it was determined to maintain other eccliastical words like "church." With the guidelines spelled out, I hardly think it proper to call them cowards.

But I do have a problem with forbidding reproduction of a Bible translation by others. Peace be with you.
