Introduction To The Geneva Bible 1560. 

I've started reading this recently. I'd like to know if you pronounce the words how they're written or they would be pronounced currently. Seeing Jesus Christ spelt Iefus Chrift gives me pause. Is this how it was always supposed to be? I've noticed S replaces a lot of letters from how it was spelled then to now. God Bless.

I hihgly doubt that.... There's a big push by the reformed, calvinist heretics to get people to get the Geneva "bible" where the margins are stacked full of poisonous heresy from John "the devil" Calvin, the murderous heretic who reigned as a tyrant in GENEVA Switzerland because 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 There were divine reasons it was superseded by the vastly superior King James Bible. Here just one example..... 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, overwhelmingliny 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. Check out Romans chapter 13 1st Peter chapter 2 verses 13 and 14. Also keep in mind that John Calvin was a lawless murderous man and he wanted nothing to do with accountability to anyone including governments. See 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 obviously error in the Geneva "bible."

So what ur saying is GODS WORD is lie well u r 100% wrong the king James 1611 1769 is the perfect word of GOD and the genva and the king James line up with each other they r from the same manuscripts and they r both the true word of GOD u really should study more before u say thing that r not true GOD has provide the king James 1611 1769 for us all to study and learn from it is the anointed word of God HOLY GHOST INSPIRED but u see which one is king and thats the anointed king James 1611 1769 praise THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY

⁠@@Trevor-08hello! I know this comment is a year late, but if you’re still looking for an answer, yes, all of those words are pronounced the same as today. The 1560 Geneva Bible is written in Early Modern English, which is why the J’s look like I’s and many S’s look like F’s without the slash across it. It can be a bit jarring at first but once you get the hang of it it’s really not too bad! Personally, I bought the hardcover 1560 version AND the PDF copy of the 1599 version, which updates all of the spelling to today’s modern English. It really helps having them side-by-side in areas where I really can’t figure out a word or the print is a little too spotty. If you aren’t a big fan of the spelling, then you could just skip straight to the 1599 Geneva Bible, although those hardcover versions WITH the apocrypha still in it are rather expensive. God has recently led me to this Bible not too long ago and although I haven’t been studying out of it for too long thus far, I still definitely recommend! :) hope this helped and God bless!!

I did not find God by reading the Bible.

@@docf3605 Excellent! Perhaps you can give us your example of "finding" God. What evidence do you have?

@@darz3829 I decided to seek Truth. God is Truth.

@@darz3829 What evidence do you have that an Atheist Society would ban Slavery?

@@docf3605 " What evidence do you have that an Atheist Society would ban Slavery?" Let's see - the Egyptians, who had multiple gods, were multiple slave owners. And from 1619 to 1865 Early Americans who were mired in religion, were slave owners. So, no , offhand I don't have evidence that Atheists would ban slavery - just that heavily religious people practiced it.
