CUTTING EDGE MINISTRIES
DISCLOSES THEIR HIDDEN AGENDA
to MISREPRESENT ALL ENGLISH BIBLES AS ROSICRUCIAN/FreemasonIC BIBLES
The following audio programs are presentations by Barbara Aho which were made shortly after the release of “The Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings” Video by Cutting Edge Ministries. The audios present much evidence refuting the false claims made by David Bay of Cutting Edge that King James I of England conspired with Francis Bacon and the Rosicrucians to transform the 1611 King James Version into “a Rosicrucian Bible which would reverberate with Satanic power every second of every day, a sacred book which would gradually move the peoples of the world into practicing that ‘Mystic Christianity’, Rosicrucianism.” Following the audio programs is evidence that David Bay and Cutting Edge have planned all along to discredit, not only the KJV, but all English Bibles as Rosicrucian works.

PART 1 ~ The Life and Times of King James VI & I. His Christian character exhibited during the attempted Rosicrucian takeover of Great Britain and Europe. Proof that King James would never have allowed Francis Bacon and the Rosicrucians to tamper with the 1611 Authorised Version. (2 hours)
PART 2 ~ The Life and Times of King James VI & I. His Christian character and opposition to witchcraft exhibited in his writings. Solid evidence that King James would never have allowed Francis Bacon and the Rosicrucians to tamper with the Authorised Version. (2 hours)
PART 3 ~ Expose of Cutting Edge Ministries “Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings” Video. Profiles of high level Rosicrucian speakers. Twofold agenda of “Secret Mysteries.” (2 hours)
PART 4 ~ Expose of Cutting Edge Ministries “Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings” continued. Evidence from the works of Peter Dawkins, Rosicrucian speaker in the video, that David Bay plans to destroy the credibility of the KJV. (2 hours)
Notwithstanding David Bay’s protestations to the contrary, Pastor Ron Riffe of Cutting Edge Ministries divulged last January (2006) that they have been planning all along to use the “Secret Mysteries” video series to “expose the King James Version as a Rosicrucian/Freemason masterpiece... edited by the Rosicrucian/Freemason Francis Bacon and his band of intellectuals known as the ‘Order of the Helmet’.”
“The "New Age Bible" accusation is without basis in fact. And what is so ironic about this issue dividing the Body of Christ is that the "pot is calling the kettle black"! The "real Bible" to which you refer is the 1611 King James Version--a Rosicrucian/Freemason masterpiece and, Lord willing, Cutting Edge is going to expose that fact with a DVD/book. Have you ever even seen a 1611 edition, much less studied it in depth? I have an expensive computer-scanned copy on my desk and the artwork in it is occult to the core. It also has their numeric "sigil" fingerprints all over it.” - Ron Riffe, Jan. 12, 2006
“Our intent is to put an end to such harsh and un-Christlike responses from the "King James-only" crowd by proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the 1611 King James Version was edited by the Rosicrucian/Freemason Francis Bacon and his band of intellectuals known as the "Order of the Helmet." This group also collaborated to write the works attributed to Shakespeare and that is why the prose of the KJV has often been compared to that of Shakespeare. It should--because the same man edited both of them.
“Wescott and Hort--if they were ever truly engaged in occult activities (a charge we have ample reason to doubt)--were absolute amateurs compared to the Rosicrucians who left their "fingerprints" all over the 1611 edition of the KJV. But in spite of their tampering, it remains a reliable translation--even though it is by no means perfect in its rendering word-for-word into English. Such is not possible in translating from Hebrew and Greek into any other language.” - Ron Riffe, Jan. 14, 2006
The Cutting Edge attack, however, has been found to be, not only against the King James Version, but against ALL English Bibles. This plan was disclosed in another e-mail by Ron Riffe to a different Cutting Edge subscriber:
"The fact of the matter is that 100% of all English Bibles bear the imprint of Rosicrucian/Freemason tampering!... The tampering took place primarily in the chapter and verse divisions, artwork, etc. of the early English translations as signs to 'those in the know' that the publications were done under Rosicrucian supervision." - Ron Riffe, Feb. 2006 Cutting Edge is helping to bring to pass the agenda of the Antichrist, which is to discredit and eventually do away with the established canon of Scripture and to substitute the Gnostic scriptures in its place.

Throughout our exposure of the Cutting Edge video "Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings" as a tool to misrepresent the KJV as a Rosicrucian project, David Bay protested that he never planned to do anything of the sort:

Dear Barbara:Had you watched this video, you would know that we never mention the King James Bible, we never say that Bacon wrote the KJV, and we never mention King James Himself.Therefore, to say that this video is a "set-up" to discredit the KJV is slanderous. How can you call yourself a journalist when you make such a leap of conclusion? How can you call yourself a Christian when you slander a brother like this?This kind of disaster is what gives Fundamentalist Christians a bad name.For the record, here is a list of the next three volumes in the "Secret Mysteries" series:Volume 2 -- "Riddles In Stone: The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital"Volume 3 -- "Eye of the Phoenix" -- A study of America's "Living Documents", including the One Dollar BillVolume 4 -- "How All These Plans Precisely Fulfill Bible Prophecy"You are exposing yourself to extreme ridicule by making this leap of conclusion with absolutely no facts to back them up. People who used to put credence in your ministry are going to lose that faith in you. You have absolutely no fact to back this conclusion up.May Jesus Richly Bless You,David BayDirector, Cutting Edge Ministries100 Old Cherokee Rd, Suite F-1Lexington, SC 29072800-451-8211
Reprinted below is the series of e-mail correspondences between Pastor Ron Riffe and the two Cutting Edge subscribers in which Pastor Riffe revealed that David Bay planned all along to defame the King James Version and ALL English Bibles in his “Secret Mysteries of America’s Beginnings” video series and also a book on the subject. Also disclosed is the Calvinist theology of Cutting Edge.

Dear **********,
I believe the Apostle Paul's instructions to the young preacher Timothy is good advice for all believers:
1 Thes. 4:11 (Amplified Bible)
To make it your ambition and definitely endeavor to live quietly and peacefully, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you,
Witnessing for Jesus Christ involves telling others about Him, whereas preaching involves reproving, rebuking, and exhorting (2 Tim.4:2). And as a woman, I do not believe it is scriptural for you to preach:
1 Tim. 2:11-14 (Amplified Bible)
Let a woman learn in quietness, in entire submissiveness.
[12] I allow no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to remain in quietness and keep silence [in religious assemblies].
[13] For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
[14] And it was not Adam who was deceived, but [the] woman who was deceived and deluded and fell into transgression.
I am not familiar with Tom DeMeter, but what he has to say is ridiculous. We are most definitely not in the Tribulation Period and even a casual reading of the following will show that two things--two prerequisites--must occur before the Tribulation Period can begin:
2 Thes. 2:3 (Amplified Bible, emphasis mine)
Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),
I believe we are definitely experiencing the apostasy at this time, but the "man of lawlessness (sin)"--the antichrist, in other words--has not yet been revealed. And the Tribulation Period ("that day") cannot begin until after these two things take place.
However, it appears you have a misunderstanding about "the Calvinist TULIP God." The Calvinist position on salvation is totally scriptural and what we believe and preach. So if you are open to some historical background on the subject, perhaps my article entitled "The ABC's and XYZ's of Salvation" at www.cuttingedge.org/articles/p154.htm will be of interest.
I hope these comments will help and may God bless.
Sincerely,
Pastor Ron Riffe, Cutting Edge Ministries

Dear ********,
The reproving, rebuking and exhorting is the "job description" of a pastor/preacher and is not something all believers should do--especially women if they attempt to teach men and assume pastoral authority over them (1 Tim.2:12). Being outspoken in witnessing for the Lord is commendable, but women must guard against exceeding the limitation God has placed upon them.
And your misunderstanding of "the Calvinist God" is typical of those who have never taken the time to carefully study Calvinist theology. At one time I too was Arminian in my understanding of soteriology--but then God opened my eyes to the truth. Did you read the article I wrote? Many who reject the position do not realize that 150 years ago their forefathers in the faith were likely Calvinist. And that is especially true of Baptists and Presbyterians.
So I recommend you read Arthur Pink's book entitled "The Sovereignty of God"--study it with an open Bible and see if you can deny that it is totally scriptural.
The "New Age Bible" accusation is without basis in fact. And what is so ironic about this issue dividing the Body of Christ is that the "pot is calling the kettle black"! The "real Bible" to which you refer is the 1611 King James Version--a Rosicrucian/Freemason masterpiece and, Lord willing, Cutting Edge is going to expose that fact with a DVD/book. Have you ever even seen a 1611 edition, much less studied it in depth? I have an expensive computer-scanned copy on my desk and the artwork in it is occult to the core. It also has their numeric "sigil" fingerprints all over it. So be careful what you believe, because Satan is the master of deception.

Now that I have taken the time to "count to ten" several times, I will attempt to reply with more grace and Christian courtesy than you have afforded me. The Word of God says that one must never "rebuke an elder" without witnesses being present (1 Tim.5:1; 19). But your on-going diatribe has done little else. And, sad to say, this type of inflammatory and unchristian rhetoric is characteristic of those who worship a 17th century English version of God's Word.
Do you really believe it possible that anyone could "destroy the Bible"? God's Word is forever settled in heaven (Ps119:89) and nothing will ever change that fact.
Our intent is to put an end to such harsh and un-Christlike responses from the "King James-only" crowd by proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the 1611 King James Version was edited by the Rosicrucian/Freemason Francis Bacon and his band of intellectuals known as the "Order of the Helmet." This group also collaborated to write the works attributed to Shakespeare and that is why the prose of the KJV has often been compared to that of Shakespeare. It should--because the same man edited both of them.
Wescott and Hort--if they were ever truly engaged in occult activities (a charge we have ample reason to doubt)--were absolute amateurs compared to the Rosicrucians who left their "fingerprints" all over the 1611 edition of the KJV. But in spite of their tampering, it remains a reliable translation--even though it is by no means perfect in its rendering word-for-word into English. Such is not possible in translating from Hebrew and Greek into any other language.
You have the right to believe anything you choose, but no Christian has the right to hurl such ungodly accusations at a brother or sister in Christ.

Dear *******,
I want to be sensitive to your having been a Mormon, because that false religion is, as you know, filled with Freemason symbolism. But at the same time I must not mislead you about the truth concerning "corrupted" Bibles.
The fact of the matter is that 100% of all English Bibles bear the imprint of Rosicrucian/ Freemason tampering! But let me quickly add that such tampering in no way changes a single doctrine of the Christian faith. Why? Because all translations must conform to the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments. Any deviation from those basic texts would be spotted immediately and thouroughly [sic] denounced by Bible scholars.
The tampering took place primarily in the chapter and verse divisions, artwork, etc. of the early English translations as signs to "those in the know" that the publications were done under Rosicrucian supervision.
As far as I know there is not a Bible translation of any language today that does not use the standard chapter and verse divisions first published in the Geneva Bibles of the 1500's. And those 1189 chapters along with the division of the canon into 66 books clearly show occult tampering. For instance: the divisions of chapters break down to four groups of 3x3x33 (297) chapters each. From Genesis 1 to 1 Kings 6 is the first, The second is from 1 Kings 7 to Psalm 116. 1 Kings 6 and 7 deal with building Solomon's Temple--the theme central to Freemasonry! Psalm 117 is in the exact middle--the shortest chapter of all consisting of 33 words. From Psalm 118 to Jonah 3 is the third division. With Jonah 4 to Rev. 22 being the fourth. Jonah 3 and 4 deal with Nineveh, the birthplace of Freemasonry! Coincidence? Not a chance!
And I could go on for hours, but such disclosure will have to wait for the book and DVD Cutting Edge is working on for the future.
But please understand that even though King James was most definitely a Freemason and played a significant role in his 1611 KJV Rosicrucian masterpiece--that Bible (along with the vast majority of modern versions) is totally reliable in all matters of faith and practice. God's Word cannot be broken (John 10:35) and all attempts by the devil have failed and will continue to fail to put a single dent into it.
So we recommend the parallel KJV/Amplified Bible for personal use. And even if Satan himself goes into the Bible printing business, God will still honor His Own Word regardless.
Take care and may God richly bless as you seek to serve Him faithfully.
Sincerely,
Pastor Ron Riffe, Cutting Edge Ministries
