King James was a notorious sodomite, so we know what he really thought about the word of God.

First you side with a non-Christian cultic translator to attack the KJV, which thus attacks Catholic Bibles, and with that specious attack being exposed, you assert as fact what homosexuals can only allege (as they dare to do with David and Jonathan also, based upon the like manner of evidence in words and actions), yet which is irrelevant as Constantine's views in the Nicene council, since he did not translate one word.

And rather than James being opposed to the word of God and his alleged iniquity influencing the KJV, the KJV clearly upholds the injunctions against homosexuality, while James adopted a severe stance towards sodomy using English law. His book on kingship, Basilikón Dōron, (Greek for "Royal Gift") lists sodomy among those “horrible crimes which ye are bound in conscience never to forgive”. He also singled out sodomy in a letter to Lord Burleigh giving directives that Judges were to interpret the law broadly and were not to issue any pardons, saying that "no more colour may be left to judges to work upon their wits in that point." .

Now if your charge against James is to have any weight, then so must the reality of bad sexual active and even allegedly sodomite popes. Rome not only gives them the title "papa" (many were in infamous ways) but as the vicar of Christ, successors to Peter, though they would not even qualify to be church members in the NT church, and even makes a saint out of a man who employed a murderous mob that slew over 100 people in seeking to secure his papal office! Talk about a glass house.

In addition, rather than the Prot KJV being soft on sexual sins as James is all edge to be, it is the main RC American Bible, even on the Vatican web site, that will not use render “porneia” as “sexual immorality” or anything sexual in places such as 1Cor. 5:1; 6:13; 7:2; 10:8; 2Cor. 12:21; Eph. 5:3; Gal. 5:19; Col. 3:5; 1Thes. 4:3; but simply has “immorality,” even though in most cases it is in a sexual context.

As to whether James was a sodomite or not, while having certain close male friends, James had seven live children with his wife, Anne of Denmark (married 1589; died 1619), as well as suffering two stillbirths and at least three other miscarriages, and between 1593 and 1595, James was also romantically linked [likely by enemies] with Anne Murray, later Lady Glamis, whom he addressed in verse as "my mistress and my love". - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_VI_and_I https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_relationships_of_James_VI_and_I Some homosexuals.

As usual, your attempts to attack evangelicals has against resulted in more evidence why one should not be a RC.

The King James Bible was not a Catholic Bible. It was an English translation of the Christian Bible for the CHURCH OF ENGLAND. It is chopped and diced so much it mangles the Word of God.

When one can't attack the message, attack the authority... or so it seems. Would say something about attacking the messenger, but that's been happening all the way along! Flack... target... ; )
