The Canon List of This Website
Why the Apocryphal Books Are Not Held as Canon
This is the canon list of this website. The apocryphal books are not held as canon here because they are mainly historical books, and they are not said to be divinely inspired within the text itself. Whether you agree with that or not is fine. They are not in the KGV, my translation. In a sense you could say they are still included, because this site also carries the original King James 1611, and we should hold to that text and its canon even if we do not agree with every book that stood in it.
This site is here to preserve the text, and also to give my correction of common misconceptions in the verses. If the KGV does not serve you well on a line, go back to the earlier public-domain texts on this site. Those older witnesses are safer than licensed modern versions that add a lot of foolish wording.
You can read them here and download them as JSON: the King James Bible, the King James 1611 (the original one), and the John Nelson Darby Bible. Darby is here as a reminder to go after foolish denominations that have gone apostate, deny once saved always saved, and preach damnable heresies.
The Four Exclusive Books of the KGV
The September KGV, which is in the public domain, has four exclusive books that are not in any other Bible on this site. Two of them are ancient. One was published in 1919. One was written in early 2026.
New Testament exclusive books
In the New Testament this translation contains the Second Apocalypse of John and the Apocalypse of Elijah. The Apocalypse of Elijah is usually dated to the third century, about A.D. 250–350. The Second Apocalypse of John is later; scholars place it somewhere between the late fourth century and the ninth century, often in the sixth to eighth. These works preach the truth of a pre-tribulation rapture. Too many voices on YouTube treat the rapture as if it were only John Nelson Darby’s idea. Historic or not, many who reject it do not care about the history. The KGV is meant to put that witness back in the text.
The third exclusive New Testament book was written in early 2026 in the United States, in the 250th year of the country: Godwin, a merged Gospel account of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John by Godwin Heart. It is a fifth Gospel in that sense. It also draws parts of Revelation together with the Old Testament, because those books mirror one another. Godwin does not replace the four Gospels or Revelation. Keep all of them, because Godwin is based on them.
Old Testament exclusive book
The fourth exclusive book is The Wicked Life of Mrs. E. G. White, Seventh-day Adventist Prophet: Her False Claims Refuted. The text used here is D. M. Canright’s book, first published in Cincinnati in 1919. Canright was an ex-Adventist. (The name Wright in some notes is the same line of witness.) The aim, as a free-grace dispensational Zionist, is to answer Seventh-day Adventism in the reader itself. That book has no numbered verses. Read the whole chapter.
Free Grace and Dispensationalism
There are many who claim free grace and then deny dispensationalism. Without dispensations you will not get free grace. That is why C. I. Scofield and the dispensational line matter to this site. The Ellen White book is in the KGV Old Testament to answer that system inside the translation. It is chapter reading only, not verse-by-verse.
