Excerpts from http://www.nomorehoaxes.com/content/view/24/1/

For the last three centuries Protestants have fancied themselves the heirs of the Reformation, the Puritans, the Calvinists, and the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock. This assumption is one of history's greatest ironies. Today, Protestants laboring under that assumption use the King James Bible. Most of the new Bibles such as the Revised Standard Version are simply updates of the King James.

The irony is that none of the groups named in the preceding paragraph used a King James Bible nor would they have used it if it had been given to them free. The Bible in use by those groups, until it went out of print in 1644, was the Geneva Bible. The first Geneva Bible, both Old and New Testaments, was first published in English in 1560 in what is now Geneva, Switzerland. William Shakespeare, John Bunyan, John Milton, the Pilgrims who landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620, and other luminaries of that era used the Geneva Bible exclusively.

Conflicting stories:
I have read that it is widely known and documented that King James was a homosexual and a pervert who had sex with animals. According to documented accounts his mother was not a nice woman, to put it mildly.

James published the KJV in order to do away with the Geneva Bible. He did not like the footnotes in the Geneva Bible, which are great! The KJV was considered a government publication to favor the king.

We cannot trust anything that man has meddled with.

Satan and men of Satan have infiltrated everything of man, including the church and the seminary. In everything, trust Jesus only. Read, study and pray.

Your Friend,

John
