Does the King James Bible have same books as the Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus?

Codex Vaticanus, a manuscript dated 325-350 AD, contains the earliest complete copy of the New Testament Bible.

The table below lists the King James Bible (KJV) books that conflict with the relatively recent Biblical manuscript discoveries, the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus.

Vaticanus Oldest Bible
Codex Vaticanus is regarded as the oldest extant manuscript of the Greek Bible dated to 325-350 AD. Vaticanus is named after its place of conservation in the Vatican Library. In the 19th century, Bible scholars studying the Codex Vaticanus realized the texts differed significantly from the Latin Vulgate ('Textus Receptus'). Vaticanus may have been one of the 50 Bibles commissioned by Emperor Constantine in 331 AD. \| Wikipedia: Codex_Vaticanus

Sinaiticus Old Bible
Codex Sinaiticus is an ancient, handwritten copy of the Greek Bible dated to 330-360 AD. Discovered in 1850 by Constantin von Tischendorf, a German evolutionist theologian, at St. Catherine's Monastery at Mount Sinai. Sinaiticus is an Alexandrian text-type manuscript written on parchment. Currently stored in the British Library, London. Sinaiticus is an invaluable resource for critical studies of biblical text. Codex Sinaiticus may have been one of the 50 Bibles commissioned by Emperor Constantine in 331 AD. \| Wikipedia: Codex_Sinaiticus

King James (KJV) Popular
Published in 1611 by the Church of England, the King James Bible (KJV) is an English translation of the Christian Bible. Under King James I, 47 translators used the Textus Receptus ('Majority text') manuscripts for their English Bible. Since 1611, older, more accurate Bible manuscripts have been discovered; the Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha, and the 27 books of the New Testament. \| Wikipedia: King_James_Version

Summary

The Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are the oldest, complete Bibles available today.

When compared to the King James (KJV) bible, or any other Bible version, many conflicting and 'confusing' attestations and omissions are presented.

When, why, where or how were entire Bible books added and removed from God's Scripture?

It is beyond the scope of this article to explore the above question. Biblical scholarship documents and acknowledges the above book changes.

Who was King James?
The King James Bible (KJV) is an English translation of the Christian Bible. Written for the Church of England, begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. The books of the King James Version include the 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the Apocrypha, and

the 27 books of the New Testament. It was first printed by Robert Barker, the King's Printer, and was the third translation into English approved by the English Church authorities.

What is Vatican?
The Holy See, also called the See of Rome, is the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Rome, the episcopal see of the Pope, and an independent sovereign entity. It serves as the central point of reference for the Catholic Church everywhere and the focal point of communion due to its

position as the pre-eminent episcopal see of the universal church. Today, it is responsible for the governance of all Catholics, organised in their Particular Churches, Patriarchates and religious institutes.

What is Codex?
A codex is a book constructed of a number of sheets of paper, vellum, papyrus, or similar materials. The term is now usually only used of manuscript books, with hand-written contents, but describes the format that is now near-universal for printed books in the Western world.

What is Sin?
In Abrahamic contexts, sin is the act of violating God's will. Sin can also be viewed as anything that violates the ideal relationship between an individual and God; or as any diversion from the ideal order for human living. To sin has been defined as "to miss the mark". Sins fall in a spectrum

from minor errors to deadly misdeeds. Catholicism regards the least corrupt sins as venial sins which are part of human living and carry immediate consequences on earth, and, if unrepented for, more painful purgation, assuming the person is destined to heaven, as it is written in the formation letter "Purgatory", "most of the early Fathers of the Church speak of a cleansing fire, though we cannot tell whether this means actual or spiritual fire."

Conversely, sins of great evil are mortal sins which bring the consequence of hell if they are not addressed either through an act of perfect contrition or going to confession about them.
