This effort extends to Bible passages, and thus the anonymous editors who produced the "Queen James Bible" changes 8 texts which condemn homosexual relations, rendering them otherwise than their intent, like as a transgendered operation changes gender to match disordered desire.
While the QJV does not engage in the usually sodomite sophistry of making David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi, Daniel and Ashpenaz, the Centurion and his servant, and even the Lord and John into homosexual lovers, I suspect that could be planned for a later revision.
In case you doubt they do these things, and for an extensive referenced examination (thank God) of prohomosexual polemics, see Homosexual relations and the Bible
For documentation of the Homosexual, agenda, see here
The Lord Himself specified that it was male and female that God sexually joined together, uniquely sanctioning this by marriage, relegating all other sexual relations as fornication.
Note that the largest contributor to the boy scouts, UPS and Intel, have been intimidated into dropping support for the Boy Scouts, and with the military and 19 states sanctioning homosexual unions, persecution will increase, and thus believers must continue to seek to overcome evil with good, not becoming like homosexual activists in their hate, but refusing to compromise with it, while calling all to salvation thru repentance toward God and faith in the risen Lord Jesus to save by His sinless shed blood. Thanks be to God.

2 Timothy 4:3 (1611) King James Bible
“For the time wil come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their owne lusts shall they heape to themselues teachers, hauing itching eares”
New American Standard Bible (©1995)
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires”
I never see the sodomites try to re-write the Queeran (they can use that as the name for it, if they'd like), or any other religion. I never see attempts to attack the koran (yes, lower-case) by researching "banned" writings from it, like they attempt to do with the Bible. I never see attempts to discredit, via "scholarly research" or archaeological work, what is written in the muslim book.
I wonder why that is. Jesus said we would be hated for our belief in him and God. Hatred has been directed toward those who believe in the one, true God since forever. It is how Satan works.
Genesis 4:1 (QJV) “And Adam knew Steve as his wife...”
I thought this might be about King James being a homosexual.
Excuse me, I think my supper just made a U-turn and is coming back up. The Christian Cross in the form of gay rainbows is beyond sickening.
Would you please quit posting articles in the Activism sidebar?
Homosexuality is an evil mental illness.
Put it next to Mohammed’s rewritten Biblical text. Both are frauds perpetrated by men.
Original King James version was 1611 during King James’ reign. The 1769 revision is known as the Oxford edition. The QJV is a ridiculous concept.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
It just keeps getting worse every day.
Ping for later
It’s too late for these who have changed God’s Word:
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I commanded you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.” (Deuteronomy 4:2,3
Followup Baalpeor and see how it is used as a model for God’s judgement and wrath. Compare with Revelation 22:18,19 where if one adds to or takes from the “words of the boole of this prophecy (the Revelation of Jesus Christ)”, he is subject to the 2nd death (eternal damnation). Some argue that Deuteronomy 4:2,3 carries with it the same eternal damnation, not just the 1st death.
Changing God’s Word is a death sentence. But then again the vile affections of the Sodomites are prima facie evidence of their being given up by God (Romans 1) and damned.
These perverters of God’s word do so at their own extreme peril. They will one day be BEG for the fate of Sodom when God is done with them.
All you really need to know about the "Queen James Bible" is that it is basically the King James Version with eight verses changed. Now, there's nothing wrong with re-interpreting the Bible (millions of preachers worldwide do it every Sunday), and there's nothing wrong with re-translating it (because language does not stay still), but there has to be an academic justification for the changes made. You can't just alter Biblical text because you happen to personally disagree with certain elements. That is, effectively, a form of censorship (if not blasphemy). As the article adroitly shows the reasoning behind the changes is - very weak, to say the least.
As the only difference is eight verses, an insulting libelous title and a snazzy cross design in Gay colors, the simple truth is that most of the people who will buy this book are only doing so to make a statement on the subject of Homosexuality. In general terms there's nothing much wrong with making statements either, but that is not what the Holy Bible is for. You are meant to read it, ponder on it, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind. And if the translation you are reading has altered the text to your pre-decided notions beforehand, there's not much chance of that happening is there?
