Comparing Other Bible Versions to the King James Version and/or 1599 Geneva Bible

The Holy Bible is God’s Truth, and each one of us will see it differently from the next. With each of us individually, our version of truth according to what is in our corrupt heart and mind will be wrong as compared to what is God’s Holy Truth. As such, every translation of the Bible, some worse than others, the hearts, and minds of the authors even without intention will distort scripture to fit their own hearts rather than God’s one truth. Herein are sound reasons to stay with the first versions translated, as they will have the least error.
Based on scripture of the three parts of Genesis 1:2, supported by scripture pointing to God’s Truth of those three parts, the understanding God’s purpose for the morning stars, and the five (5) firsts as indicated by capital letters in Genesis verses 1:5, 1:8, and 1:10, I compared sixty-one Holy Bible versions.
1611 KJV
Gen 1:
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon
the face of the waters.
1599 GNV
Gen 1:
2 And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was
upon the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the waters.
Not surprised, of sixty-one Holy Bible versions compared, I found only eight that did not distort creation in any way. Three were of the King James genre(AKJV, KJV21, KJV), One was the 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV), Two that were of the Revised Standard genre (RSV, RSVCE), the Orthodox Jewish Version (OJV), and the BRG.
Of those that did distort creation, the distortion was sometimes slight, but also in many other versions the distortion was profound, leading away from these verses which otherwise would point to an understandable sequence of creation clarified by separate scripture found throughout the Holy Bible.
Whether intentional or not, all Bible versions are written to the hearts of the author(s) rather than the truth of the scripture in varying degrees of disruption. The least amount of disruption will come from those who had the most to lose. This is one reason why, when I use biblical scripture, I reference only the King James Version with clarity when needed from the 1599 Geneva translation and a Greek Hebrew translation dictionary.
Creation is explained in detail in a recent book “To Open Ones Eyes” but for this comparison extremely condensed, Jesus is not created but formed, from God shown with combined scripture from Jeremiah, Isaiah, Proverbs, John; 1st John, Luke and Revelation) because he is God. This was completed before creation started and was necessary to complete God as our God Almighty (the Trinity or Godhead) to fulfill God’s plan for all creation. Before his birth (Proverbs, John), he was God and possessed by God before anything was, and at birth, Jesus was formed or born the Son (Luke, Isaiah), formed by the Father(Jermiah) to have life within himself, and is also one with the Father (John 5:26; John 14:10) to complete the formation of God Almighty as one in triplicate (the Trinity, Godhead). As noted above, such was a requirement to fulfill God’s plan for all creation.
Genesis 1:2 chronology is better understood if considered as “before anything was.” As with any project this is the preparation before the beginning, the putting of pieces and tools into place before a project begins, and then Genesis 1:3 is the beginning as the start of creation with the light of the 1st morning star.

Understand that as God’s writer, I am a peon and minuscule part of this. I am not all knowing, but only have had my eyes opened by the Holy Spirit. When there is controversy in your heart with what is written here, go to prayer and pray for the bread of life to be yours. In time, if your heart seeks what is righteous, and you apply yourself to seek the truth, the Holy Spirit will open your eyes as the Father asks.
Out of sixty-two versions considered, seven were eliminated because they were incomplete presented as only New Testament, forty-seven of them did something in which the heart of the authors changed the meaning, sometimes slightly and twenty-eight of them profoundly changed the second verse into the Holy Bible, or the five key uppercase letters used in Genesis. These distorted verses or keywords may be easily found in online bibles and are very destructive to scripture.
Only the eight mentioned had the same meaning. Reading furthers all versions will have changed meaning somewhere from the others if only slight, it can and does still lead to destruction of scripture and away from God’s Truth. This is why I read and when writing only refer to the King James Version (KJV), and if you use a version other than the KJV when discrepancy is found in scripture and clarity is needed first go to the KJV, and after to the Hebrew and Greek cross-reference tables in many study Bibles, then refer to the 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV), or next to the Revised Standard Version (RSV). In one or more of these you should get clarity of scripture.
Take care, as even the Bible references in the margins or bottom of the page may lead one away in any version. For instance, a recently minted Geneva Bible written by thirteen chiefs and thirteen scribes has contradictory references to Genesis 1:2 and in Genesis 2 one of the rivers running out of Eden is named very wrong. So even later versions of the books of old written new can have unintentional distortion caused by man’s imperfections. While the missed references mentioned and scripture changes in meaning may cause harm to the scriptures, it was to the heart of the author(s) and their intention may have been to clarify (according to their heart) and not intended to cause harm to the scriptures. Most often, our hearts will fail. As such, take care, even when you read my verse because I am just a peon and filled with error, just like the authors of scripture, with some purpose to make better, as their hearts are also filled with error.
Always carefully make up your own mind according to where the Holy Spirit leads you. Pray for the Lord to rebuke evil and not let evil interfere with your heart, especially when it comes to the Holy Bible. Pray for the bread of life and to understand. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door will be opened. Do not let others tell you what is true. You can listen, but then carefully turn your heart to study scripture, listen to the words of Jesus, consider his meaning, and make up your own mind. Do not harden your heart or stiffen your neck, but instead listen to that inner feeling after you pray.
Often, scripture may purposely point in multiple directions at once. It may point forward to the blood and backward to the water at the same time in the same words. Do not put limits on yourself, but instead strive for truth and follow the Holy Spirit’s lead. If you do so, eyes will be opened followed by the joy in knowing that as miserable and minuscule as each of us are in God’s presence, he cares enough to take time for each of us to help open our eyes to his truth, even with all he has going keeping the universe in its proper place.
Here due to copyright infringement I cannot list the verses but without any intention of copyright infringement should at least be able to name the versions I do not use and in my opinion the reasons why I do not use them.
