QUESTION:  Where was the Bible before 1611?
   
ANSWER:  In the available Antiochian manuscripts.
   
EXPLANATION:  Critics of the perfect Bible like to throw out this 
question as though it will "stun" Bible believers.  It doesn't.
   
The overwhelming majority of Bible manuscripts in existence throughout 
history have been the text found in Antioch.  They have always been 
available in some form, either in copies of the original Greek, or the 
old Latin of 150 A.D.  (NOT to be confused with Jerome's corrupt 
"Vulgate") or the Syrian Peshetto of 157 A.D.
   
That it would be difficult indeed to gather all of these sources 
together and place them in the hands of the common man gives credence 
to God's reasoning for the collation and translation of the King James 
Bible.
