you are quite right about the The Geneva Bible Of 1560. It is considered a superior Bible to the KJV by knowledgeable people.

it does show that God can use a corrupted Bible to save those who He chooses.

Better use the Bible which GOD Himself used for the last four centuries. The KING JAMES VERSION of the Word of God.

Here's a good thought from your buddy Hort Jim....
"One such example is his hatred for democracy, as Hort asserts in a letter to Rev. Westcott dated April 28, 1865:

"...I dare not prophesy about America, but I cannot say that I see much as yet to soften my deep hatred of democracy in all its forms."
In fact, Hort's hope, during the years of the American Civil War, was that the South would win. This desire was fostered by the hope that such a victory would destroy both countries to eliminate America's threat to England's domination of the world. His own words betray this in a letter which he wrote to Rev. John Ellerton in September of 1862:"

"Drs. Ankerberg & Weldon wrote:
The KJV Only people argue that the KJV is the only inspired Bible against which every other translation is to be tested. This claim is not only demonstrably false, it ignores the entire issue of biblical origin, transmission and translation."

The point that King James Bible folks apply in comparison is not "like for like"

NO!!

We can easily see that the modern versions which come from corrupt Greek texts, the textual criticism of Anglican Liberal heretics and the Roman Catholic Vaticanus text - IS definitely not the way, nor the Word of God.

God used the Bible, King James Version to build His Church, teach His doctrines and praise His Holy Name amongst His people, - FOR 400 YEARS AND CONTINUING. Amen!

Jim Lincoln wrote:
1. Ah, just like the Authorized King James Version, Handel's Messiah has a ecumenical history,

2. I would almost bet that Handel wouldn't mind

Even Indian Hills Community Church started with the KJV, Jimmy boy!

But note well Jim that God used this Bible the KJV also for many centuries, and continues to do so in HIS congregations.

Jim Lincoln wrote:
A) There are today many false translations and paraphrases of the Scripture which those who love the Bible must oppose,

B) Moreover, it is a heresy because it implies that God did not completely inspire the original manuscripts and therefore in 1611 He had to add inspiration.

B) The heresy which concerns me is that abject heresy which started as a leaven in Westcott and Hort and has leavened the whole lump of modern versions production in recent times.

As for the KING JAMES VERSION which has been wonderfully and effectually used of God to teach and build the churches of the elect for four centuries.

Jim Lincoln wrote:
T.S., I will repeat myself from another thread
Quote;
Ankerberg and Weldon wrote;
"Remember that it was the KJV translators themselves who stated in their original preface that the very purpose of their translation was to provide God’s Word in a readable and understandable fashion. They recognized and accepted the translation work that had been done before them. So then how can anyone logically argue that they would object to modern translations being done today for the same purpose?"

This is the answer to your Anchor and weld it on quotes you keep coming up with.

BTW
"John 14:14 KJV "If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."

NASB ""If you ask **Me** anything in My name, I will do it."
That is ridiculous. It is praying to Jesus, in Jesus' Name. That is not what is intended as we can verify with other verses."

Jim Lincoln wrote:
Remember the Protestant Reformation, was begun by people that only had the Latin Vulgate.

No that is not entirely true Jim.

Yes, the AV was authorized all right, but not by God

Don't you know that the Bible God used in previous centuries, and still widely used in reformed churches today, was/is the KING JAMES VERSION of the Word of God!

Jim Lincoln wrote:
No because the KJV used the heretical texts of Erasmus! The Mormons were naturally attracted to a Catholic Bible

should read, Westcott & Hort

______________

Also Jim;
As to your Anglican brothers Westcott and Hort....
Hort's "Atonement"
There was also his rejection of Christ's atoning death for the sins of all mankind.

"The fact is, I do not see how God's justice can be satisfied without every man's suffering in his own person the full penalty for his sins."

In fact, Hort considered the teachings of Christ's atonement as heresy!
"Certainly nothing can be more unscriptural than the modern limiting of Christ's bearing our sins and sufferings to His death; but indeed that is only one aspect of an almost universal heresy."

Jim Lincoln wrote:
Ah, TS, Satan used the The [A]nglican [V]ersion a syncretic Bible put forth by a sycretic church founded by a serial wife killer. It supported the prelacy, was done by Baptist killers, and cults have found comfort in it.

"9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:" Isaiah 30.

It is said of Bishops Westcott and Hort;

"You have to be ingenious to convince people that 1% of the evidence is true and 99% of the evidence is false. Hort was a master at this. So is Satan! Dean Burgon did not deal in "cloudland," nor does his defense of the Traditional Text. Because of Westcott and Horts "paradox" referred to by Dean Burgon, they have based their position purely on subtle theories and rank speculation." (D.Burgon Soc)

"The readings of those much boasted manuscripts recently made available are essentially the same as Jerome's Latin Vulgate which finds its foundation in the works of Origen. The Reformers knew all about the variant readings of the Vulgate and they rejected them which is the same thing as rejecting Origen. In rejecting Origen, they rejected Codex Vaticanus as it was copied from his work. Thus, the Reformers had all the material necessary for the task at their disposal" (Frank N Jones)

Jim Lincoln wrote:
1) You seem to forget that the AV is a corrupted text by man.

2) Westcott & Hort vs. Textus Receptus: Which is Superior?

3) The AV is actually a Catholic Bible

2) Thats an easy one Jim. - The Textus Receptus has been used BY GOD for the last 400 years and more.
Also Westcott and Hort were LIBERAL ANGLICAN HERETICS who favored many popish convictions such as icons and Maryolatry. This is proved in their own words (letters).
Now clearly GOD would not use them to communicate His Word.
BUT your NASB does.

Remember Jim;
The KING JAMES VERSION OF THE Word of God has been used for centuries by God the Holy Spirit to build the Church and teach the Truth and sound doctrine to the elect.

Whereas your poor old NASB comes from a very dubious set of Greek Manuscripts, (and higher criticism), - WHICH God decided NOT to use during this period of time.

The argument of KJV-onlyism would have to follow that logical conclusion, would it not? Other people groups could not have a Bible translation in their own language if the KJV is the only allowable version.
