Default The Geneva 1560

I like the KJV. I use it to study but for the most part I use the Geneva 1560 for my daily Bible reading. Do you consider this wrong and/or sinful? I am not presenting a challenge to anyone here but I simply want to see where the people on this site stand. I know people here do not like the newer versions but what about the older ones? I would like to thank everyone in advance for their inputs..

It is wrong in that the KJB clearly improves upon it, as is also shown doctrinally from the KJBO point of view (i.e. seven purifications of the Reformation English versions); to know the truth, but to reject or resist it becomes a sinful act.

Thank you for you honest opinion. As I stated in my first post, I will not try ti debate one way or the other. I simply wanted peoples opinion on this so I could see where the majority of the forum stood on their beliefs of the earlier versions.

Ok. If you're not studying from it because you believe it to be God's unadulterated word, then there is not much I could say about it.

I read and study the KJV because it's God's word. (Period.)

I have the Geneva, Tyndale, Wycliffe, Bishops, and other early English translations. They are certainly history, but why would I "study" those when I have the KJV, which is a purification of all that came before it? I think if God wanted me to study from the Geneva, he would have seen to its proliferation over the course of the last 400 years. He did not.

I must say that I am somewhat jealous of you. I wish to own copies of all those other Bibles too! Do you have any old leafs? I have two both of the Geneva. I orderd one but the company sent me a second one free. One is from 1589 and the other from1615.
