One more thing, was not the KJV, taken from the Geneva Bible?

Not. Recall the front page of the bible. It says "translated from the original tongues and with the former translations diligently compared. . ."

So Geneva would've been diligently compared. But so was Tyndale's. And that's why we have such wonderful agreement between them. The modern perversion couldn't care less about the text of the bible. That's why they go as far and as fast as they can from the traditional words (not to mention whole sentences) in their translations. No thought for the earliest writings where early copies of the bible were being quoted. NO thought for the actual versions the very early churches (like the Syrian. . .Syrian Antioch is the church where Paul originally served with Barnabas).
