Well yes, but it takes a lot of study. Not saying that was the only reason, but it was at the core base of many of the issues. The Puritans rejected the KJV because the council used many catholic texts for study, often using latin over the greek in translation. Overall they rejected the KJV wholesale. Many moved to Holland, but later came to America for so called religious freedom, although they themselves were of one mindset and one bible.

Some study of the reformation would also be helpful. It is obvious by their writings that the Puritans stood upon the shoulders of men like John Calvin, Martin Luther, Theodore Beza, and other first generation reformers. These in turn stood upon the shoulders of men like Augustine, and Chrysostom. These followed the Geneva bible.

In fact, one of the greatest ironies of history, is that Protestants of all denominations today embrace the King James Version of the Bible even though the King James Version is not a Protestant Bible (it’s Anglican / Church of England). It was produced by John Calvin, John Knox, Myles Coverdale, John Foxe, & other English refugees in ever-neutral Geneva,

"While many Protestants are quick to assign the full blame of persecution to the Roman Catholic Church, it should be noted that even after England broke from Roman Catholicism in the 1500’s, the Church of England (The Anglican Church) continued to persecute Protestants throughout the 1600’s. One famous example of this is John Bunyan, who while in prison for the crime of preaching the Gospel, wrote one of Christian history’s greatest books, Pilgrim’s Progress. Throughout the 1600’s, as the Puritans and the Pilgrims fled the religious persecution of England to cross the Atlantic and start a new free nation in America, they took with them their precious Geneva Bible, and rejected the King’s Bible. America was founded upon the Geneva Bible, not the King James Bible."

We also had a long thread on it in a religious study forum that went over 2000 post. That was a year ago, but I'll try to find it.
