Remember that the KJV was translated in opposition to the Reformation. The reformers translated the Geneva Bible as a response to these who despised the Reformation and the Puritans brought the Geneva, not the KJV to America.

I know and understand that dear brother. However, the KJV is from the same text and was accepted by and large by our reformed brethren.
