Corrupted Bibles: the Geneva, NKJV, & Fake KJB’s by Pastor Sam Adams

GENEVA BIBLE WARNING

Think Geneva Switzerland where Satan’s pawn John Calvin reigned in terror, murdering over 60 people who disagreed with him.

The Geneva Bible, with the commentary of John Calvin, is simply a trap to seduce the unsuspecting to be indoctrinated with the doctrines of devils that is the system of calvinism. Beware. Like any cult, the unspoken rule is that the doctrines of John Calvin are superior to the Bible itself. This is how it works with the cult of calvinism. There’s no such thing as an honest student of Holy Scripture who is a calvinist.

As you will hear in the podcast above, among many other errors, the Geneva Bible changes “Repent” to “amend” which would be works salvation. Metaneo, metanoia are the Greek words for “repentance” and such is essential for salvation (Luke 13:3, 5, etc.).

“I bought my husband Tom one a Geneva Bible a few years ago and had no idea! It is now in the garbage. The fact they changed the word Repentance is enough. But also John Calvin is involved. So these are two reasons it belongs in the garbage. Thanks for this post.” Karen Cochran

The Geneva Bible Exposed: The Geneva Bible was poisoned by “the pope of Geneva” himself, John Calvin. The Geneva Bible had to be superseded due to being calvinistically corrupted.

Calvinist Snakes are the ones pushing the Geneva Bible and that due to John Calvin’s excessive marginal notes in the Geneva Bible which seduce the reader into the heretical system of Calvinism.

Beware of those who do not understand that God is sovereign, that “the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men” (Daniel 4:32). If the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, that means He’s active in the affairs of mankind – always has been and always will be because He “is love” (1 John 4:8, 16). The LORD Himself was in charge of the translation of His Word into English, as He promised to preserve it to all generations. This is a cornerstone truth in understanding the real English Bible vs the counterfeits. The LORD used God fearing men throughout HIS-story to make sure all generations had His written Word. THIS is a cornerstone truth that if not remembered, could lead to one being deceived. We call them “Bible agnostics” because they believe God exists and yet they do NOT believe He has been active in the affairs of men. Heresy.

“Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalms 121:4

GOD has never, nor ever will take His holy off of HIS-story.

Bible Agnostics Exposed

Divinely Inspired and Preserved

Many things establish that the King James Bible is the preserved Word of God for the English speaking peoples. Here’s one of those indicators.

“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalms 12:6-7

See the fulfillment of this prophecy?

1. Tyndale Bible (1525)
2. Coverdale Bible (1535)
3. Matthews Bible (1537)
4. Great Bible (1538)
5. Geneva Bible (1560)
6. Bishop’s Bible (1568)
7. King James Bible (1611)

Read this again:

Psalms 12:6 – 7
6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

One source notes:

“James’s disdain stemmed from the Geneva Bible’s marginal notes, which, like whispers in the corridors of power, subtly undermined royal authority. These annotations, laced with Puritan ideology, posed a threat to James’s vision of a unified, monarch-led Church of England.”

Of the Geneva Bible, one source admits:

“The Geneva Bible was one of impeccable Reformation credentials. The main translator, William Whittingham, was even a brother-in-law to Calvin himself. Produced in Geneva by Reformers with the help of the best learning of the Reformed Churches, its marginal comments bore the hallmark of unflinching adherence to orthodox doctrine and readiness to suffer in the face of persecution.”

Any honest Bible believer understands that reformed theology/Calvinism is incalculably heretical and so such a student of Holy Scripture understands immediately that the Geneva Bible is errant and why God didn’t allow it to take root and kept His promise to purify His Word in our language “seven times.“

We must go back further than the “reformation.” Nothing needed to be RE-formed…. because we have a Bible which is the final divine authority (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Many of the “reformers” were absolute heretics such as the demon possessed murderous maniac, John Calvin.

Reformed Theology is Calvinism

Famous modern preachers who espoused this cancerous system of theology include Paul Washer, Vodie Bauchum, John MacArthur, John Piper, etc.. Reformed theology proponents push the writings of sinful men instead of God’s Word. They insist upon telling their prey to read and study church history, and follow frauds like John Calvin and other reformers, instead of exhorting them to get into God’s Word for themselves with the Holy Spirit as the divine Teacher. The Holy Spirit through Paul instructed Timothy, and all disciples today to:

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

There’s a big push today by the reformed, Calvinist false teachers to get people to get the Geneva Bible where the margins are stacked full of poisonous heresy from John Calvin, the murderous heretic who reigned as a tyrant in GENEVA Switzerland before dying and going to Hell. But the Geneva Bible is just another fraud. There were divine reasons it was superseded by the vastly superior King James Bible.

There’s a video that circulates that pretends to show that the KJB is in error because it defines Ephesians 6:12 as spiritual warfare whereas the Geneva Bible teaches that verse to mean that we are to war against civil government. Here’s my reply to such:

This is a deception. Beware. Be not deceived. Cease being so gullible to believe every video of someone ranting. First off, the whole text, passage of Ephesians 6:10-18 is clearly, overwhelmingly speaking of SPIRITUAL warfare, not combatting the civil government, which Christ, His apostles, and early church never did. Read it afresh for the actual context. Just because he rants doesn’t make what he’s saying true. this information is actually in error because Jesus and His apostles never resisted the corrupt Roman Government of their time nor did they teach others to rebel against the government. Keep in mind that governments, civil governments are ordained of God although many times they become corrupt. Also keep in mind that John Calvin was a lawless murderous man and he wanted nothing to do with accountability to anyone including governments. Check out Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2:13-14 about the command of God to obey government servants who are in place to protect and provide a fair monetary system.

With this truth in mind, it should be easy to understand why the LORD had the King James Bible translators correct this obvious error in the Geneva Bible.

First off king James didn’t translate anything. He simply organized those who did. It was long ago debunked that King James was a homo/sodomite. “Also, keep in mind that “ALL have sinned” and even if he were wicked, that doesn’t change the fact that God used him, as HE has used sinful men for thousands of years (Romans 3).

There will always be rebel detractors who love to relish lies to justify their own sin.

The King James Bible is only so viciously attacked and lied about due to it being the authentic, the real word of God for the English speaking peoples in fulfillment of Psalms 12:6-7.

No different than the blatant attack around the world, not of Buddha, Mohammed, or Krishna, but Jesus Christ. The “many false prophets” who are deceiving “MANY” as Jesus warns, are promoted by satan and his hoards while Christ is assaulted and attacked by those possessed by “the spirit of antichrist.” (Matthew 24:11; 1 John 4:1-4) Jesus Christ is the nail-scarred risen Savior KING. Satan who is presently, the liar, murderer, and “god of this world” is the constant attacker of Christ (John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 4:4).

The attack on the King James Bible simply affirms unrepentant rebels in their unrepentant state, makes them feel better about their sin and rebellion. They are moral cowards instead of honest, sincere seekers of truth.

Sounds good, right? Not! There are 3 verses we use to acid test “bibles”: Matthew 17:21; Romans 8:1; and Colossians 1:14 As usual, this BSB was taken from the known corrupted manuscripts instead of the Textus Receptus from which the KJB comes from.

“Be Strong in the Grace that is in Christ Jesus” – 2 Timothy Chapter 2 [podcast]

A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus

1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

A Workman Approved by God

14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

“A Faithful Man shall Abound with Blessings” [podcast]

Do you desire to abound in the blessings of God?

Jesus our LORD taught that as we are faithful with what the LORD has already given us, then, and only then, will He multiply it.

ASK YOURSELF: Are you faithful to abide, to obey Him by obeying His Word? If so, Jesus and the Father are dwelling richly with you and will multiply you according to your proper, wise, faithful stewardship of what is already in your possession – which is from Him. See John 14:21-23.

“A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” Proverbs 28:20

God is not going to add to or multiply His supply and blessings to anyone who is sitting around, doing the church attendance thing, and not doing His biblically stated will – of loving, tending to, giving to, serving, and blessing others (Matthew 22:37-39). Every true disciple is a doer of the WORD (James 1:22; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.). A true disciple is not known merely by being a church attender, which any old dead fish counterfeit can be. No, the true servant of Christ is known by his supreme love for, and faithful obedience to Christ his King, his “first love” (Revelation 2:4-5).

“For all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.” 1 Chronicles 29:14

Every good gift and blessing is from God (James 1:17). We take from what He’s given us and we share it with others – whether that be supply, or spiritual blessings in Christ, or material blessings.

“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. ⁷Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: ⁹(as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. ¹⁰Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) ¹¹being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-11

“Freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8

ARE GOD’S BLESSINGS CONDITIONAL? Yes they are. Here’s but one example of how God’s people forfeited His blessings due to living life on their own terms instead of complying with His.

“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.” Jeremiah 5:25

Jesus’ Parable of the Talents:
Matthew 25:14-30

14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Prayer: Holy Father, I come to You in the name of my LORD Jesus. Please make my heart to long for more of You, to love and worship You as my supreme God, Supplier, and Provider. Please unite my heart to truly fear Thy holy Name and to be quickened by Your Word and Holy Spirit unto obedience. Please multiply Your grace to my life as You are working in me and Your body both to will and to do of Your good pleasure. In Jesus’ name, amen.
