In this episode, we continue analyzing the 2021 debate on King James Onlyism—and take a closer look at a historical claim that simply doesn’t hold up.

Was James I of England a Presbyterian but not a Calvinist?
Did he reject the Geneva Bible because of Calvinist theology?

The historical record tells a very different story.

Drawing from the Hampton Court Conference and the contemporary account by William Barlow, we examine what King James actually said—and why he objected to the Geneva Bible’s marginal notes.

This episode is a reminder of two crucial skills:

•  Verify historical claims 
•  Follow the logic of arguments carefully 

If you do those two things, you’ll avoid most bad arguments—especially on topics like Bible translation.

📌 Topics Covered:

•  King James and Presbyterianism 
•  The Geneva Bible controversy 
•  The real reason behind the King James Version 
•  Calvinism vs. church polity 
•  Evaluating historical claims responsibly
