A homosexual man is suing a third national Bible publisher for "mental anguish" after he says the company published Bibles with a negative connotation toward homosexuals.
Bradley LaShawn Fowler of Canton, Mich., alleges William Tyndale Publishing manipulated Scripture when it published Tyndales New Living Translation Holy Bible and the New Life Application Study Bible by using the term "homosexuals" in a New Testament passage, 1 Corinthians 6:9.
"One Bible dictates homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God, while the other is completely void on the issue altogether," Fowler wrote in a statement on his blog.

Thank you Brian. I know she is with Jesus, I have no doubt about that. I fear her crying would be for the trials and tribulations that she knows me and my family are most likely going to go through. However a part of me also thinks she would say “How exciting for you! You will have the answers that hundreds of thousands have asked over the centuries. And that is ‘now? it’s really happening now?’.
The Law should cause you mental anguish. The Gospel will show you your Savior. He needs too keep reading.
He should sue the ancestors of the bishops at Worms or King James as well. They wrote their versions so why not? Yeah, this is a stupid and frivolous suit, probably with the aim to further try to harm religious belief but the versions of the old testament have had mans hands in it for centuries and even the new testament was culled from many different writings centuries after Christ walked the earth. Scripture has been used, changed, edited and abused by various groups repeatedly over the years and have become tools and sometimes weapons of various sects and denominations. It might be better if everyone learned and lived the lessons the Bible teaches instead of warring over whether or not it is a literal interpretation of historical events or not. God and Christ gave us lessons and advice on living our lives and worshipping them as people and children of God and that is where the focus should be.
