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 Gods 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, its 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 groups 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 wouldnt surprise us to see these new gay-friendly verses find a home in mainstream copies of the Bible. Its 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 havent figured it out by now. They didnt and dont want tolerance. They want fealty. -
“you WILL go to Hell.”
These people are already there.
So many things wrong with this statement:
What they are doing is not some disagreement on translations amongst honest theologians. Rather, they are intentionally perverting the Word of God to serve their agenda. Woe be unto them:
Rev 22:18-19:
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.
And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
Satan has taken over the Churches of the world. Clueless phony Christians have allowed this.
I honestly believe the second coming is coming soon, and not to a theatre near you!
I wonder if the edited version is published with a disclaimer explaining that it is not faithful to the original text. If not, there is a truth in labeling issue here.
It’s gonna suck to be them on Judgement Day. Mocking God is a bad idea!

LOL but they told us there were no such verses!
This is different than say .. BOM how ?
(note that I do disagree with the BOM and its followers in religion but most of their social beliefs are ones I agree with.. at least till poly becomes and issue.)
Their fantasies are about as real as as "Oz"!
I wonder what they did with the last few verses in the bible?
Rev 22:18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Yup.
(One nitpick: I’d say ATTEMPTING to mock God is a bad idea. God Himself cannot successfully be mocked by mere humans. /yeah, I know, picky...)
Historically, even non-Christians had sense enough not to mock Him. You know, just in case. God will NOT be mocked!
Where’s Tomás de Torquemada when we need him?
