Don’t laugh. This faggot will have the mega-$$$$$ backing of every pro-homo organization in the world. And money talks when it comes to “courts.”
Suing over a translation of the Bible that's many centuries old, and has been legally published all during US history, seems to be more than a little far-fetched.
There is a critical distinction in all this that few ever make. Some things that are considered a sin are also illegal. And, some things that are considered a sin are not illegal. There has never been any thought that every sin has to be illegal in the US.
So, homosexuality can still be considered a sin even if it is not illegal, and it is not illegal to consider it a sin. It would take some new, Orwellian law for it to be illegal to consider homosexuality a sin. Such laws exist, or almost exist in maybe Canada and parts of Europe, but I don't think the US has fallen that far yet.
Yes, you’re right, the KJV doesn’t use “homosexual” because that word wasn’t known yet. Usually it uses words like “effeminate” as a noun.
We could go back to the Geneva Bible. It uses the term “b*ggerers.”
My Favorite Episode!
1 Tim 1:10 uses homosexual or the word for sodomite.
1 Cor uses a word meaning “a soft man” or catamite.
Because he’s doing it again.
those guys sure suffer “emotional distress” often.
Wait until he learns that the Nazi Brownshirts was a largely homosexual organization.
serious? this should be pulled then.
The Bible says what it says!
Get any other translation of the Bible—Orthodox, Roman Catholic, or Protestant, and it will say the same thing! You can’t just sue one English-language publisher!!!!
The only thing that will be different is something like the ELCA’s “Lutheran Study Bible”. This has the same verses, but has weasel-word “exegeses” to explain the verses away!!!!

If you’re a “gay” dealing with Holy Scripture, and don’t want to be “offended” by its content, you have to take refuge in weasel words, or in bogus lawsuits!!!!
Mr. or Ms. “Gay”: Do you really want to be a weasel, or a vicious litigator? Do you want to face God at the Last Judgment as either one of these? Isn’t it better to be offended NOW, and to repent while there is still time?
Bfl
Well, if any court takes this insane case seriously, then we'll know things have fallen further than most anyone would have guessed.
Any other freedom you want to trample on, fag?
The homosexual activists make a big deal that somehow Paul made up words and that we don’t know what it means. Believe he uses malakoi and arsenokoites which are now translated as homosexuals.
But these arguments are bogus. If you look up the passages in Leviticus that condemn homosexuality in the Greek translation of Paul’s day (the “Septuagint”) it is obvious the words Paul uses are taken from the Septuagint Greek translation of the original Hebrew. The everyday language of most everyone in the eastern part of the Roman Empire at that time was Greek, so it’s no surprise that Paul would have taken these terms from the Greek version of the Old Testament, since that is what people he was writing to would understand.
Coincidence???
From now on, "HOMOSEXUAL" it is!!
Well, we might as well multiply the award by 100,000 or so and just make a class-action suit out of it; I mean, he can’t be the only one so offended. Actually, I’m heterosexual, but I’ve felt absolutely devastated these past 20 years worrying for my homosexual brethren... you just don’t know the kind of stress I’ve been under... it’s given me wrinkles, warts, hives, I can hardly ttttype annymmorre.
I was watching it last night and realized how similar the speech pattern of Keith Olberman is to the Chancellor.
There's something wrong with those people.
