Geneva Bible

[edit]

If one examines the 1599 Geneva Bible, available at Amazon, you will find it first had a commentary known as the notes of the reformers. It is said these notes so aggravated the King James that he had an "Authorized" translation made without notes. Someone please take note of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.74.250 (talk) 21:22, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Untermeyer

[edit]

NY Jewry funded the Zionist Bible. Is Wiki so Jewashed that this isn't even mentioned? 2607:FEA8:2A64:5900:C0CE:B7B7:ECCE:F4C1 (talk) 22:33, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Originally, I had removed this as nonconstructive (WP:NOTAFORUM), but I feel it needs to be publicly addressed. We don't dabble in conspiracy theories here. There are no legitimate, quality sources that I have found that would indicate that Untermeyer financed Scofield. The closest to being a source meeting WP:RS would be The Incredible Scofield and His Book, and that only makes mention of Untermeyer as not blackballing Scofield's entrance into the Lotus club. Regardless, it is nonsense to suggest that there is some kind of Zionist conspiracy amongst Wikipedians. People are welcome to have opinions (in either direction), but you are not welcome to air them here; and I take umbrage at your accusation. Editors are to check their biases at that door and edit with a neutral point of view. As such, a reliable citable source is required. ButlerBlog (talk) 14:44, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
