It would seem like the Geneva Bible would have a very special place in the hearts of Christians, being that it was the first whole translation from the original languages. That simple fact would seem to make it the one God chose for us to read. Maybe people just aren't aware of it?

Those commentary notes are mighty jumbled together small print. I haven't found the one yet that says the Pope Bishop of Rome is the antichrist.
Sadly, the vast majority of Christains have never heard of the Geneva bible, and they never will. Joined: Aug 2, Messages: 2, Likes Received: 4. Logos Well-Known Member. If KJV-only advocates really believe that the Geneva Bible was the Word of God in English in and believe their own claims concerning the word of God, should they have been unwilling to have one word or even one syllable of it changed?

Well, it only shows up once in the Bible?? Rippon Well-Known Member. What's all the ruckus pun intended about then? So , if that is acknowledged , then following the path of logic and sound reasoning why all the hue and cry over those 'accursed changes' that have been made to the Word of God with other versions?
I know people who got their bags stolen, and even people who got beat up or harassed on the streets. Pretty sad, I know, but true. I know that Europe seems to always be under construction and restoration. The problem is, in Geneva this is something really disturbing and it takes forever until they finish redoing a street.
When I arrived there in March they were rebuilding a street close to my house, when I left one year later, they were still trying to finish it! The interesting thing is that as soon as they finish one construction, they start another one right away. The Swiss have the fame of being slow, and people like to joke about that. Anyways, I know that there are places worse than Geneva in this case; in my country things are slower. This slowness reflects on their efficiency.
I have never had an efficient experience in Geneva, I only learned what efficiency is when I moved to Germany. Dear Swiss people, do not be mad at me. I always found you very nice, probably the most polite and nicest people I came across in my life, but my experience in your country was not the best I ever had. I still like visiting though, your country is truly beautiful!
Keep in mind: this was my personal experience. I know people who think different than me, others that agree. Some love Geneva, others hate it. In any case, this is my opinion.
