We're seeing the "WHOLE WORLD" falling under deception...just as it's written it would be. We're watching it get primed for the final deception that will come.//

Five Supreme Court Justices found within themselves the authority to rewrite the ancient definition of marriage, so a gay group has taken it upon themselves to do the same with the word of God.
In an effort to resolve “any homophobic interpretations of the Bible,” the group has come out with the Queen James Version of the Good Book.
Within its pages, they have taken the liberty of changing every verse that condemns homosexuality.
One example of the difference between the Queen James and the King James can be found in Leviticus 18:22. The original text reads as follows: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.
The new, LGBT-approved text reads: Thou shalt not like with mankind as with womankind in the temple of Molech: it is an abomination.
This new interpretation tackles each problematic verse in the same fashion, adding restrictions and disclaimers in an attempt to make Biblical condemnation of homosexuality a thing of the past. “We wanted to make a book filled with the word of God that nobody could use to incorrectly condemn God’s LGBT children, and we succeeded.”
A Meaningless Change Changes like these only matter if you believe the Bible is just another man-created book of myth and fiction, subject to the trends and whims of the times. And if you believe that, then what is the point of worrying what it says to begin with?
If you believe instead that the Bible is the divinely-inspired, perfect word of God, then changing it to fit your political sensibilities is an exercise in futility. No, actually, it’s worse than that. It encourages Christians to cherry pick which parts of the book to follow and which parts to ignore. It deceives believers into thinking they are living lives that please their Creator. Beyond the Fringe If it ended with this group’s “Gay Bible,” it would be nothing more than a trivial story to laugh at. But there is ample reason to suspect that the “Queen James Version” could have a much larger influence on Scripture in the years to come. It wouldn’t surprise us to see these new gay-friendly verses find a home in mainstream copies of the Bible. It’s not even beyond the realm of possibility that these verses could eventually set the new standard while versions that retain the “homophobia” fall out of fashion.
Remember when the LGBT lobby promised that they had no interest in attacking Christian beliefs? Remember when they swore that they merely wanted equal rights? Yeah, those were lies if you haven’t figured it out by now. They didn’t – and don’t – want tolerance. They want fealty. -
Revelations Chapter 21
12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
ESPECIALLY THE FOLLOWING:
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book
The pastors of the small churches and the mega churches sit silently as the Word of God is mocked. But they still have their tax exemptions.
Have you too read the good news about Ceiling Cat??

Sounds like it’s getting close to the time the hit the road to .... somewhere.
I think you mean "homosexuality" not homosexuals.
“...I personally like the LOL Cat Bible”
I would take that over the “Queen James Bible” any day.

Could it be that John was referring to “this scroll,” the one that he was writing?
Not trying to contradict your point, just playing devil’s advocate, because we CAN expect that challenge.
In the Bible mockery is a behavior and attitude shown by the fool (Psalm 74:22),... the wicked (Psalm 1:1),... the enemy (Psalm 74:10), ....the hater of knowledge (Proverbs 1:22;... 13:1),... the proud (Psalm 119:51; Isaiah 37:17),... and the unteachable (Proverbs 15:12)....
.... A mocker goes beyond mere lack of judgment to making a ‘conscious decision FOR evil’. Mockers are without a spirit of obedience, teachability, discernment, wisdom, worship, or faith.
We do have the ‘free will’ to disobey Him, blaspheme Him, and, yes, even mock Him.... But we are warned that God will not always be mocked. ...The blasphemy and derision are temporary. ...There will be a day of reckoning, and, ultimately, a man reaps what he sows.
Those who mock God will mock the people of God as well.
Do not be deceived,... God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption....Gal.6:7
Huh?
To be fair, what they've done is nothing that a lot of other "Biblical scholars" haven't also done: Rewritten the Bible to serve their own purposes.

Nope. 1 Corinthians 6:9
Homosexuality is a behaviour. To be a homosexual, you have to have committed a homosexual act. To identifiy yourself as a homosexual means you have committed acts of homosexuality and have no intention on changing. This is inconsistent with the revealed Word of God. There is no distinction where God is concerned. If a person behaves in a sinful manner, they are a sinner. It is only after repentence that we come in alignment with God and be forgiven.
It is possible. I’ve seen that very point argued fairly persuasively, in fact.
That said, I think other passages regarding attempts to mock God also apply (see up-thread), so even if Rev. 22:18-19 is limited to Revelations, I think the overall point is still valid. JMHO of course.
No, tell me!
Postmodernists believe that reality is constructed by language and that language may convey multiple interpretations to different people. Postmodernist deconstructionists believe that when reading a text one must ferret out its hidden or multiple meanings (polysemy). In this way the reader's interpretation of the text becomes more important than the text itself.
Also significant is the subjectivity of the reader in determining what the author intended to mean. The reader may feel that a particular text really means an author approves of an action, even though the written text makes it clear that the author deplores the activity.In this way, libtards can evade truth and reality.
Ceiling Cat iz alwaz dere, He iz waching for both goodz and badz.
And Ceiling Cat will protek yoo against da evilz of Basement Cat, cuz he haz tuff!
“Could it be that John was referring to “this scroll,” the one that he was writing?”
That’s obviously what the intention of the verse was, since the Bible itself didn’t exist as a “book” when the verse was written.
I agree ... and don’t forget it! :o)
I wonder how they handled references to husband and wife in the queenie version?
