King James...

[netrox]

Askjo is so fond of spouting anti-gay arguments. He thinks King James Version Bible is the most accurate Bible.

Does Askjo know that the King James was a homosexual?

That disgusting Bible project was headed by a homosexual! Horrible!

I'm not taking sides here (to limit more flamage), but this is what wikipedia had to say:

the only active part King James took in the translation was lifting the criminal (death) penalty attached to its translation and setting very reasonable guidelines for the translation process (such as prohibiting partisan scholarship and footnotes.)

King James isn't alone by translating. There are other guys joined and all of them are very carefullly translating and very revere in the Word of God. True, King James was very bad, but he would not do anything stupid to mess with to pervert the Word of God. Even tho, some of those jews read the Bible compared the Hebrews in the OT and found it was accurate where it has written. There are so many scholars read the comparison the NT and OT, as of NT is aligned with the OT about the Messiah and the histories. Humans trying every way to find fault in them. Tho most knew there isn't any but out of pride, they keep rationing. Even I watched history channels talked about it. And yes, there are some missing parts. But the Bible we have has all info and what more do we need to know. But in them, the Bible we must know the culture and the reason of the writing.

The only thing "provocative" in the translation of the King James bible was the fact that instead of "priests" King James allowed the use of the word "elders" and instead of "church" the word "congregation".

King James really had nothing to do in the actual TRANSLATING, there was a team of around 45 scholars I believe, who did that work.

About King James part u mentioned is correct, the numbers of scholars, is about right, couldn't remember how many. As church and congregation is the same meaning. And also depends what particular you talk about. For instance, " I love to go to the house of the Lord", which is like temple, or church(bldg) or congregation (building). The other word as Body of Christ is people which also call church or congregation. There are elders which are also called deacons. This is the reason many making excuses not to read the Bible bec have "errors" in simple thing. God will not giving us any excuse bec whatever the circumstances are.

King James did not translate but he was responsible for helping create the Bible that can be read widely.

And yes, he was a homo! Shocking! harharhar!

Even Chick Publications refused to believe he was a homosexual. So lame.

 

[christlovedeaf]

Well, it is argumental about what he is or did, but have u notice if he actual was a homo, he still respected the Bible, bec he agreed that living in homosexual practice is a sin. He was highly revere God's Word. And even did you know, several was coming after him to kill him?

There is nothing wrong with a person being gay or lesbian, it's the ACT of homosexuality that the bible says is wrong.

The fact is that King James was NOT homosexual. He had many enemies. When he died, his enemies announced that he was homosexual. When a person kneeled down at the King, he kissed the King's hand where his ring is because he honored his King. That is why his emenies called him homosexual AFTER he died.

You're reading lying Chick publications, eh?

Get the facts from wikipedia:

James I of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Read under "Personal Relationships." It's a well documented fact that he had homosexual relationships even though he was married. It wasn't unusual back then as well.

 

[Y]

Lets suppose if he already kissed the King's ring,
then does this mean that he is homosexual ?

 

[christlovedeaf]

Well, many take a pleasure to find negative report on other people just like people enjoying Equirer mag. Tongue is nothing but destructive to take pleasure to hurt people. Even what King James is like cna be or can't be, but main issue of how King James revere God's Word, but many doesn't care, they find fault about him and for sure similar way about finding fault about King David.

King James was NOT a homosexual durin' in his reign. I believe that he was a good man. He translated the bible from Greek and Hebrew into English translation. He was an intellectual man.

If, he was really a homosexual, then he wouldn't have translated the bible from Greek and Hebrew into English translation in the first place.

Oh? I don't agree. There is an argumentive if he is or not, "If" he is, yet, he very revere the Word of God. But important part is what the Word of God says and been carefully evaluate.

I know. But, I still don't believe that he was really a homosexual. There's no such thing that he was.

How do you really know that? did you see King James in the bedroom with another man?....

 

[christlovedeaf]

That is the problem. It is no different as of today, many determined what ever they "saw" and giving out story which seems obvious. There are lot of mixture and lot of exaggeration to make a person looks bad. Very high rating people enjoying to hear negative story about a person than saying good. Its not easy to confront or be around with people who offends. Many attitudes is out of control with " I don't care, that person deserve it" oor " someone told me" and etc. Tongue is nothng but destructive if we don't control our tongues and also our thoughts. To me, whether King Jame is or isn't, we weren't living or witnessed what has happen, but one thing is obvious, he revere God's Word and making sure if its accurate. Remember, King David, few other kings, who did sinful things, expressed from their broken heart. The problem with many churches, they know the Bible, but lack of understanding the cultures and the reason of writing. If you noticed, Paul wrote different letters, bec based on the cultural wherever it was. Like Phillipians, Colossians, Galatians, Thessalonians and etc. All has the same message about Christ, but teaching the behaviors of each town differently based on what is going on. Sadly, many take out of literally straightforward which Paul did not meant the whatever the issue is in todays teaching. Many doesn't study the Bible, tho they know "about" the Bible thru teachers (churches, philosphers, new age, etc). Took me years to study, and I begin to enlighten everything what's going on around me and learn something. Paul did warned never rely on teacher itself, bec its dangerous. Must study the Bible and also edify one another with the foundation of the Bible. The key of christianity is Jesus Christ of who He is and what He has done and what the Father has given us. Noone on this earth (except Jesus) lives without fault.

No, not from Chick publications. I learned other sources concerning King James.

King James was womanized, but I did not see how he was homosexual.

He may be dressed like a woman and he showed men as if he had mistaken their sex and thought them ladies. In other words, Men attracts to other men. I do read KJV Bible. That book only matters to me not the King, himself. He don't matters to me.


His behavior with the late Lennox and his distancing himself from his wife attracted wide attention. Francis Osborne noted in a memoir not published until many years later during Cromwell’s day that “The love the King showed men was amorously conveyed as if he had mistaken their sex and thought them ladies, which I have seen Somerset and Buckingham labour to resemble in the effeminateness of their dressings; though in whorish looks and wanton gestures they exceeded any part of womankind my conversation did ever cope withal. Nor was his love, or whatever posterity will please to call it… carried on with a discretion sufficient to cover a less scandalous behaviour; for the king’s kissing them after so lascivious a mode in public, and upon the theater, as it were, of the world, prompted many to imagine some things done in the tiring house that exceed my expressions no less than they do my experience, and therefore left them upon the waves of conjecture, which hath in my hearing tossed them from one side to another.”

A diary entry by Sir Simonds D'Ewes after speaking with James said “I discoursed with him of the things that were secret, as of the sin of sodomy, how frequent it was in the wicked city (London), and if God did not provide some wonderful blessing against it, we could not but expect some horrible punishment for it; especially it being, as we had probable cause to fear, a sin in the prince as well as the people, which god is for the most part chastiser of himself, because no man else indeed dare reprove or tell them of their faults.”

Responding to deflect the growing criticism over his sexuality James adopted a severe stance towards sodomy using English law. His book on kingship, Basilikon Doron, lists sodomy among those “horrible crimes which ye are bound in conscience never to forgive”. Jeremy Bentham in an unpublished manuscript denounced James as a hypocrite after his crackdown. King James also singled out sodomy in a letter to Lord Burleigh giving directives that Judges were to interpret the law broadly and not issue any pardons saying that “no more colour may be left to judges to work upon their wits in that point.”
