The King James version of the Bible has been hijacked by gay activists who want to rewrite history. Anonymous editors have published a Bible "friendly to gays," and have edited eight major verses to fit their narrative. The "Queen James Bible" is available on Amazon and is described as, "A Gay Bible. The Queen James Bible is based on The King James Bible, edited to prevent homophobic misinterpretation." The description and reasoning for the changes is below.
Why We Chose the King James Version
We chose the 1769 form of the King James Bible for our revision for the following reasons:
1. The obvious gay link to King James, known amongst friends and courtiers as “Queen James” because of his many gay lovers.
2. No Bible is perfect, but everyone knows the King James Bible; It is arguably the most popular Bible in history and the basis of many other translations.
3. Most English Bible translations that actively condemn homosexuality have based themselves on the King James Version and have erroneously adapted its words to support their own agenda. We wanted to return to the clean source and start there.
4. Some claim the language of the KJV is antiquated, but we believe it is poetic, traditional, and ceremonial. Christianity is an ancient tradition, and the King James and resultant Queen James versions remind us and keep us connected to that tradition.
What We Changed
The Bible says nothing about homosexuality. However, there might be no other argument in contemporary faith as heated as what the Bible is interpreted to say about homosexuality.
The Bible is the word of God translated by man. This (saying nothing countless translations and the evolution of language itself) means the Bible can be interpreted in different ways, leading to what we call “interpretive ambiguity.” In editing The Queen James Bible we were faced with the decision to modify existing interpretively ambiguous language, or simply to delete it.
There are problems with removal of verses:
• It doesn’t address the problem of interpretive ambiguity, it only brushes it under the rug.
• It renders an incomplete Bible.
• Revelation says not to “edit the book,” and people often extend that to mean the entire Bible, not just the book of Revelation.
We also refused to just say “that’s outdated” and omit something. Yes, things like Leviticus are horribly outdated, but that doesn’t stop people from citing them. We wanted our Bible bulletproof from the ones shooting the bullets.
There are also problems with editing verses:• The context, idiom, and grammar from the time are almost impossible to recreate. • Changes could further create interpretive ambiguity.
Many versions of the Bible translated and published since the King James Bible have changed the language, so the precedent had been set for editing. Furthermore, both problems with editing are easily addressed by deciding to make the edits as simple as possible.
We edited the Bible to prevent homophobic interpretations.
Although these editors are correct when they say the Bible is for interpretation, it is important to understand that interpretation isn't the same thing as rewriting history or changing scripture.
Let’s take a wild guess here. The editors were from Sodom and Gomorrah.
In the new version, Lot’s wife is not turned into a pillar of salt. She and Lot are taken to a television studio to watch them film the next episode of Glee.””
Simply a reflection of degeneracy into animal-like behavior as coprophagic homosexuals seek to legitimize their filthy and disgusting behavior. Imagine what they have in store of other people’s children.
***buy because they don’t have to worry about copyright infringement,***
How true, but in England the copyright is held by the CROWN.
After the human Birth of Jesus, the Law was fulfilled and our sins were atoned for. "The Law is a curse." The Law was not destroyed, but it WAS fulfilled by Jesus. We no longer have a man to judge us under the Law, nor do we have a man to put mankind to death for adultery, homosexuality, etc. Our system of laws in this country are based on Judeo-Christian values which is is why we have capital punishment for capital offense.
That aside, Jesus will be our Witness at the Judgement; we will either be given death and eternal damnation or written into the Book of Life and granted immortal life with our Father in Heaven.
Just because you don't like what is written in the Bible and take issue with God's Word and Law.......doesn't mean that the Word is flawed.
And to answer your snarky question posed to another poster.....I believe that homosexuals should be shown the Truth and the Light so they may repent of their sins and be free of the death that awaits in their current sin. If they do not repent and turn from their sin, then Lord's Will be done; but it is not for me to judge them nor to put them to death.
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
“After the human Birth of Jesus, the Law was fulfilled and our sins were atoned for.”
Like pretty much everything else you wrote, this sentence is completely at odds with Christian dogma. According to our faith, it was not the birth of Jesus which atoned for all sins, but his death. And of course, the incident with Mary Magdalene occurred prior to His death. What you wrote is simply a rationalization to overcome the uncomfortable implication that a passage from the old testament was not actually written by God, and in fact states something that is anathema to the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus’ death atoned for our sins. But during his life he stated he came to fulfill the law.
Amen. Those who tamper with the Word do so at considerable risk.
Good point. Woe to those who lead others astray!
who do they think they are?
Seriously they like their unhealthy sex in an unnatural way and because of kind of sex they think the laws should be changed and now the Holy Bible, how about them doing a Koran, oh wait they won;t due to them knowing they might be killed.
Is that what some Christians have to do today, have a modern form of the knights Templar and fight those who mock and fight against Christianity because it seems th eleft always cower when faced with violence back.
That's right! That's right! Douai or go away ..... ;)
There are so many "versions" out there right now .... I've even seen so-called "King James" quotations that don't read at all like the KJV I knew back in the day, that I wouldn't even trust a KJV so-called that was put into print after about 1970. Just to be sure, I think we ought to make sure there is a reserve of old KJV's from the 19th century laid up somewhere where the catamites and sodomites can't get at them, and have extra copies set in new type and printed up on archival paper and bound in bulletproof, ageless bindings, and dispersed among the Christian and Buddhist monasteries of the world, so there'll always be at least one good copy out there in a lamasery somewhere, no matter how diligently the PC Police and HomoBibleScrubbers try to eliminate all copies of the old Good Book.

God “will not be mocked.”
Well, he'd better hurry to vindicate Himself, if that is His intention. This stuff is just off the page rotten-bad and stinking.
AFAIC anyone who cannot read aloud and explain a verse of the KJV is functionally illiterate and shouldn't be allowed to vote, hold office, or sit on a jury.
Boom! There it is.
bwahahahaha...im not *homophobic*...i just dont like queers and their agenda...
Starting with the entire story about Sodom & Gomorrah.
I've read an interpretation of the story of the destruction of those cities, unfortunately, I don't remember the source. It explained the destruction was the result of God being angry at the citizens because they failed to show hospitality to the visitors (Angels), Lot being the only one who did.
My interpretation and most other peoples, among the literate, is that, those Angels were sent there with the express purpose of destroying those cities and to rescue Lot and his family because of the evil nature of the cities, they were not sent to find out which citizens were hospitable and which were not. The mob that tried to "know" Lot's visitors further proved the nature of that evil, (Homosexuality).
Woe to people who try to pervert the very word of God, their end is certain and it ain't pretty.
Thought that they would have went with Dewey Reams instead.
You’ll get no argument from me.
I tell my kids that the NIV is for those who don’t have the chops to handle the KJ. :)

2. No Bible is perfect, but everyone knows the King James Bible; It is arguably the most popular Bible in history and the basis of many other translations.
Two points:
- Anything that is based on manuscripts is a translation. Anything based on another translation is called a transliteration.
- I am awed at the miracle the Bible represents. Manuscripts were painstakingly copied one letter at a time and if there was a single mistake, the entire manuscript was thrown away. They would count the letters on each line and, by giving each letter a number, check the total for each line, thus further assuring the accuracy. The most ancient of manuscripts differ in only minute detail (a letter here or there) from those used for translations like the King James Bible. So, the fact is that God has miraculously preserved His Word. These gays (I mean guys) have perverted it!
