You are right that every english translation contains translator bias. However, keep in mind that even the current recognized Greek (UBS4/NA27) and Hebrew (BHS) scriptures could be argued to have translational bias. It is important that you take account the bias and spend time looking at multiple English versions and reliable study aids. And of course, ask a seminary trained Pastor about any questions. Wouldn't you agree? Well, the King James Version is based on the Textus Receptus, which is generally regarded as a poor manuscipt as it contains a lot of minor texts.
