Editor Fired for Criticizing ‘Queen James Bible’ on Personal Blog Files Federal Complaint
Christian News Network ^ | 7/25/14 | Heather Clark

DES MOINES, Iowa – A newspaper editor who was fired earlier this year for opining on his personal blog that the Queen James Bible is an attempt by homosexuals “to make their sinful nature ‘right with God’” has filed a complaint with the federal government.

As previously reported, Bob Eschliman has worked as the editor of the Newton Daily News since 2012, and has served as the publisher of the Clarinda Herald-Journal. But he found himself out of a job this past May when he spoke his mind about the Queen James Bible on his personal blog.

“It’s pretty easy to brush off a nonsensical contrived version of the Bible, but that’s not the deceivers’ end goal,” Eschliman wrote. “No, they want all Christendom to abandon their faith. They do that by ‘proselytizing’ to church leaders to change their view on homosexuality.”

I assume that Presbyterians will be quick to accept the Queen James version as “gospel.”

This is a pretty blatant Title VII violation.

And marked with a rainbow stolen from God’s promise to Noah.

Sick.

They do DARE and at their own peril!

Fortunately, the Holy Spirit through the gift of discernment, thankfully got me out of that pseudo-Christian denomination decades ago.

Ironically, unless these folks turn and repent, there is a rainbow in their future that won't quite be for giggles and smirks.

Revelation 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire...

Revelation 14:14-20 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Yeah, that annoys heck outta me. I love rainbows. We get one fairly often here in Johnson City, gazing roughly southeast after rain. How can we take it back? I'm thinking some clever graphic arts person could design a rainbow which says, in beautiful calligrapy,

Man, Woman, Child

Be Fruitful and Multiply

And fill the earth.

Thank you dear Creator God!

I am VERY happy for you!

Those who flourish in those "pseudo-Christian" denominations will meet their Maker some day and pay for their sins.

I wouldn't want to be in their shoes! Would you?
Yikes.

Biblegateway.com doesn’t have that particular version in their library. What a surprise!
