Interesting. I know about "King James only" Christianity. Are you one? What is the KJV only view of the Geneva 1599 version.?
I'm super rusty on my bible origins so I've forgotten why people accept the canonized versions under the rule of king James more than the Geneva 1599 which is an older version. I'm also still unsure about rejecting books like Enoch and Esdras. It's an interesting spin to make it a nwo conspiracy, though.
I wouldn't go by the label 'King James only' but I have done some study on how the KJV came together and the corruptions in modern Bible versions.
You should def. watch the documentary because they go through the history of the KJV including the Geneva Bible and it's significance.
As a side note for people who are unaware. King James did not change the Bible so that he could divorce his wife. King Henry was the one that actually banished the Catholic Church from England so that he could divorce his wife. When this happened, the common people were able to get the Bible in English which the Catholic Church was preventing.
Thank you for posting this.
You're welcome. I do have to say that I do not agree with the way they teach salvation at the end of the movie. They quote Romans 10:9-10 and say that all you have to do is confess and believe in order to receive salvation which you most certainly do but they neglect the role of Grace/Faith in Ephesians 2:8, God's mercy, repentance and baptism in Titus 3:5, Acts 2:38 and 1 Peter 3:20-21.
Salvation happens at the moment a person believes, repents, confesses and is baptized in water to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38).
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus though. That's all, you definitely do not have to be baptized in water to get to Heaven. No works, just faith. Jesus became a curse for us to do away with the curse of the law. Galatians chapter 3.
Any act is a work. If it isn't faith and simply believing, if it's you required to "DO" something in order to receive a free gift ie: Baptism, that wouldn't be faith alone. That isn't what the Bible teaches. You are required to do nothing other than believe Jesus Christ is the son of GOD.
What about the Shake spear Conspiracy in the KJV? Psalm 46, 46 words from the beginning is 'shake', 46 words from the end is 'spear', the KJV Bible was written when William J. Shakespeare was 46 years old in 1611. It is kind of fun to look up anyways. I think the Catholic version is different.
