You do realise that the KJV is over 80% word-for-word identical to the Geneva Bible, right?

It doesn't matter what it was translated from.... it was primitive shit to begin with and no amount of tinkering was going to make it better.

One would think those primitive religions would have died off.

And they did....except the one that the proto-orthodox xtians decided to attach to their bullshit story to give it some appearance of gravitas.

Example:

Ezra 9:2 "They have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, and have mingled the holy race with the peoples around them. And the leaders and officials have led the way in this unfaithfulness."

Maybe you should write merrium webster and tell them, because they seem to think differently.

That's not entirely true, it did represent a significant improvement over the Geneva Bible. But it was still based off it. They still used the Vulgate. The OT was heavily influenced by both the Vulgate and the LXX. They also used Novum Instrumentum omne (3rd edition)/"Textus Receptus" which represents the incorrect text of the NT as the primary textual basis of the NT and the Complutensian Polyglot Bible as the tertiary source. So they made a number of errors in their assumptions of the importance and validity of certain textual sources that they used.
