Thanks! It's good to be here.
And the question needs to be raised again - how would you know???
This is a TECHNICAL question that requires knowledge of the original languages, including Latin in the case of the KJV, as well knowledge of how to translate languages!
By your own admission you have ZERO qualifications to draw such a conclusion.
In fact you have preferred taking the route of deliberate ignorance in order to continue making hopelessly unjustifiable claims....
I think that you just need to own up to the reality that you are not in a position to make dogmatic claims about the apparent "inspiration" and "inerrancy" of the KJV!

Here's one reason.
Micah 5:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:2 New International Version (NIV)
2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among the clans[a] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times.”
Micah 5:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:2 New International Version (NIV)
2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
though you are small among the clans[a] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times.”
You haven't proven any errors in the KJV, all you have proven is that you don't like the word choices the translators made. Show me a real error like Jesus the morning star fell from heaven or Joshua gives us our rest or Jesus had an origin... until then I'm going to assume that God is true and every man is a liar.
Ok then show me where the KJV says Jesus had an origin. I'm going to show you exacly where the NIV says Jesus had on origin.

No, they don't. Easter is both the modern secularized holiday and the Christianese term for the death, burial and resurrection. Passover is the memorial of the slaughter of the lambs and the blood on the doorposts so the Destroyer would "pass over" the dwelling. Ask any Jew if they mean the same thing.
Precisely! So there is no justification for the KJV translators using "Easter". By the way, mine wasn't circular reasoning. I encourage you to read up on it.
If you're implying that of me, it's incorrect. I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. I don't hold that any translation of the Bible is inspired. BIG difference.
