QUEEN JAMES BIBLE
This Word study looks at the oxymoron Homosexual/Christian
A little Bible background
·
The First English Bible was the Great Bible commissioned by King Henry VIII in 1535. –
·
The Second Bible was called the Bishop’s Bible of 1568. - The newly crowned King James convened
the Hampton Court Conference in 1604. That gathering proposed a new
English version in response to the perceived problems of earlier translations
as detected by the Puritan faction of the Church of England. They
complained that the earlier Versions of the Bible were corrupt and ask for a
new translation.
·
The Third Bible dubbed the King James Version Bible was
started in 1604 and was finished in 1611, settling on 39 Old Testament books,
15 Apocrypha books and 27 New Testament Books.
·
The KJV translation was done by 47 members of
the Church of England, all of which were scholars. The Old Testament was translated from
Hebrew and Aramaic; The New Testament was translated from Greek, and the
Apocrypha translated from Greek and Latin. At some point the Apocrypha
was omitted from later printings.
·
The translators were
permitted
to consult from a pre-approved list of other translations: the Tyndale Bible, the Coverdale
Bible, Matthew's Bible, the Great Bible, and
the Geneva Bible. – So a lot of input went into the English
Version of the King James Bible.
·
The QJV translation was published in 2012 and
was based on the 1769 edition of the King James Bible where all homophobic
interpretations or references of homosexuality were removed or
modified. – I could not find out why
the 1769 KJV Bible edition was selected.
·
This Bible projects a Gay Friendly
Jesus who winks at sin; this follows on the heels of the Jehovah Witness’
who in 1961 REWROTE THE VERSES in the Bible that they didn’t agree with; publishing
the NEW WORLD TRANSLATION. – How about THE BOOK OF MORMON.
Matthew 19:4-5 – God made marriage Male &
Female
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
(KJV)
2 Timothy 3:1-4 – Last days – Lovers of pleasure –
Hate Good
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (KJV)
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (KJV)
King James I
·
James succeeded to the
Scottish throne
at the age of thirteen months, after his mother Mary was compelled to
abdicate in his favor.
·
At the age of 13 King James fell in love
with his male cousin Esme Stuart who he later appointed to the position of Duke
of Lennox. - His close friends called him “Queen James”.
·
Sir Walter Raleigh joked about James’ homosexuality
when he said in public; “King Elizabeth” has been succeeded by “Queen James”.
·
You will find in the
Biographies
of King James I of England, mentioning’s that he was a homosexual having
many “courtiers” (a person who is often in
attendance at the court of the king) or even more likely that he was bisexual,
thus the play on words; the “QUEEN’ James Bible. –
·
He is praised for his
living an openly GAY relationship. – King James later married Anne of Denmark and
they had seven live children as well as suffering two stillbirths and at least
three other miscarriages. - Many dispute all of this; so you can look it
up for yourself, but you won’t.
The Queen James
Version
·
The QJB states it was written by God
with Jesus as a contributor. – No publisher is identified nor any of the
editors. – It was written and edited to resolve interpretive ambiguity
and prevent homophobic misinterpretation in the Bible as it pertains to
homosexuality.
·
The writers state that there was absolutely
no condemnation of homosexuality in the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New
Testament until the 1946 Revised Standard Version of the Bible came out
which contained faulty interpretations of EIGHT VERSES, specifically using
the term “Homosexual”.
·
Note: The first known USE of
the word “Homosexual” in the English language did not occur until
1892, which is why it was not found. – Scripture is pretty clear; - Leviticus 18:22 - “Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with
womankind; it is an abomination”. – It just took a while to GIVE IT A NAME
other than ABOMINATION.
·
Thayer’s Greek Lexicon - Homosexual; one
who lies with a male as a female.
First Homophobic
Misinterpretation
·
KJV - The words “to know
them” means to have sexual intercourse with them. – We find this very clear
when Adam KNEW Eve and she conceived and bare him a son.
·
QJV - Male on Male rape is
not considered sex, but is an expression of dominance and power, the men of the
city just wanted to bully, rape and humiliate the strangers to express their
dominance and power.
(KJV) Genesis 4:1 – Adam sexual intercourse - Eve conceived
1 And Adam KNEW Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
1 And Adam KNEW Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
(KJV) Genesis 19:5 – Sexual intercourse
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may KNOW THEM.
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may KNOW THEM.
(QJV) Genesis 19:5 – Rape & Humiliation –
Dominance & Power
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where
are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us,
that we may RAPE AND HUMILIATE THEM.
Second Homophobic
Misinterpretation
·
KJV – LGBT - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender sex is an abomination to God. –
·
QJV – Adds the words; IN HE
TEMPLE OF MOLECH is an abomination. -This is not actually a translation, but
rather an interpolation which is the rewriting of God’s Word.
·
Abomination (to’evah) is a religious term reserved for use against idolatry and
refers to temple prostitution; specifically lying with the Male temple
prostitutes of Molech.
·
With today’s moral standards the word “Abomination” is
a horribly outdated moral code which today, takes on the meaning of “ritually
unclean”, “taboo” or perhaps just “scandalous”.
(KJV) Leviticus 18:22 – No LGBT sex – It’s an
abomination
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
(QJV) Leviticus 18:22 – No LGBT sex in the temple
of Molech
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind IN THE TEMPLE OF MOLECH; it is abomination.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind IN THE TEMPLE OF MOLECH; it is abomination.
Third Homophobic
Misinterpretation
·
KJV – To “lie with”
means to have sexual relations. – Since the Messiah, Jesus Christ has come, we
are no longer under the OT theocratic law, so we do NOT execute homosexuals.
·
QJV – To “lie with”
means simply to be prone and go to sleep. – IN THE TEMPLE OF MOLECH was added –
So a man can have sex with another man as long as it’s not in the Temple of
Molech.
(KJV) Genesis 39:12 – Lie with me – Have sex with
me
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
(KJV) Leviticus 20:13 – Man lie with Man -
Abomination
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
(QJV) Leviticus 20:13 Man lie with Man in the
Temple of Molech
13 If a man also lie with mankind IN THE TEMPLE OF MOLECH, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
13 If a man also lie with mankind IN THE TEMPLE OF MOLECH, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Fourth &
Fifth Homophobic Misinterpretation
·
KJV – LUST (LGBT sex) – UNSEEMLY (unthinkable) – THEM (the LGBT abusers)
·
QJV - RITUAL LUST, (Women
Pagan dancing) – PAGAN AND UNSEEMLY – (Men Worshiping pagan idols – IDOLATERS
(those that worship idols) – Notice that the words and sentences have been
rearranged in 26 and 27..
(KJV) Romans 1:26-27- Lust – Unseemly – Them
26 For this cause God gave
THEM up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural
use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their LUST one toward another; men with men working that which is UNSEEMLY, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their LUST one toward another; men with men working that which is UNSEEMLY, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
(QJV) Romans 1:26-27- Ritual Lust - Pagan &
unseemly - Idolaters
26 Their women did change their natural use into that which is against nature;
26 Their women did change their natural use into that which is against nature;
27 And likewise also the man,
left of the natural use of the women, burned in RITUAL LUST one toward
another; Men with men working that which is PAGAN and unseemly. For this cause God gave the IDOLATERS
up unto vile affections, receiving in themselves that recompense of their error
which was meet.
Sixth Homophobic
Misinterpretation
·
KJV – ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES with
mankind – Homosexual; One who lies with a male as a female. – Effeminate; a
soft womanly man.
·
QJV – PROMISCUOUS; a male with many beds – The words
“with mankind” is deleted – Effeminate means; morally weak.
(KJV) 1 Corinthians 6:9 – Effeminate and Abusers
of themselves
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES with mankind,
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES with mankind,
(QJV) 1 Corinthians 6:9 – Morally Weak and
Promiscuous
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor MORALLY WEAK, nor PROMISCUOUS ---- -------.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor MORALLY WEAK, nor PROMISCUOUS ---- -------.
Seventh Homophobic
Misinterpretation
·
KJV – Those who defile themselves with mankind
·
QJV – Those who defile themselves… - “With Mankind” is
deleted
(KJV) 1 Timothy 1:10 - Defile themselves with mankind
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves WITH MANKIND, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves WITH MANKIND, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
(QJV) 1 Timothy 1:10 - Defile themselves
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves ---- -------, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves ---- -------, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Eighth Homophobic
Misinterpretation
·
KJV - Strange Flesh is men having sex with men;
women having sex with women.
·
QJV – Non-human Flesh such as Angelic flesh; having
sex with Angels. The cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah were never connected with homosexuality in the Hebrew and Greek
scriptures.
·
Note: Based on the QJV thinking,
God rained down fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah because of their lack
of hospitality, not because their LGBT community LUSTED after un-natural sexual
intercourse, or to say it another way SODOMY.
(KJV) Jude 1:7 – Strange - Men with Men – Women
with Women
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
(QJV) Jude 1:7 – Non-human flesh - Sex with Angels
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after non-human flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after non-human flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
David and
Jonathan LGBT
·
I feel a need to speak to
the issue
of the relationship of Jonathan the King’s son and David. - I certainly know the LGBT community uses
this scripture. - When I first read the scriptures with Jonathan taking off
his clothes and giving them to David because he loved him sure
sounded like the both of them were in a homosexual relationship.
·
What I found out was that this was a
custom, tradition and a ceremony that took place when two people cut a
COVENANT with each other. The stronger
gave his clothes and assets to the weaker as a symbol of; “What I have is
yours, and what you have is mine”. – We have become one and the same, your
enemies are now my enemies, and my friends are now your friends. - NYOBS 05.34 – BLOOD COVENANT
·
I had a childhood friend
named Paul
that I went through Elementary and High School with. - We played on the
playground, did our homework together, double dated, spent the night with and
cried with when he went into military service.
- I loved him very much, but it never occurred to me to have a physical
relationship with him.
- The
Bible shows
that there is a love between two men that is approved by God. It is a love of the spirit of the other
and not a physical sexual love. – NYOBS
02.02 – HOMOSEXUALITY
1 Sam 18:1-4 - Love of Covenant Friends - Jonathan and David
1 And it came to pass,
when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was
knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan LOVED HIM as his
own soul.
2 And Saul took him that
day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 Then Jonathan and David
made a COVENANT, because he LOVED HIM as his own soul.
4 And Jonathan STRIPPED
HIMSELF of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and HIS
GARMENTS, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to HIS GIRDLE.
2 Sam 1:26 - A Love - a Bond, inexpressible
26 I am distressed for
thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: THY
LOVE to me was wonderful, PASSING THE LOVE OF WOMEN.
Last Thoughts
·
There is
something called THE
EMERGING CHURCH or EMERGENT CHURCH which embraces and pushes for acceptance of
the LGBT community, stating that homosexuality is a viable option for
the regenerated Christian. – This is the blurring of doctrinal lines as found
in the Bible. – Sin is no longer Black; it’s 50 shades of gray.
·
Time to
learn a new word; “eisegesis”
which means; the interpretation of a text by reading into it one’s own ideas.
·
An
anonymous group of Editors of the QJV Bible throws
doubt on what God has said … "INDEED, HAS GOD SAID?
·
The QJV
Bible does not seek to “resolve interpretive
ambiguity”, its mission is to twist, manipulate and otherwise rewrite
scripture to justify their lifestyle. The writers did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, so GOD GAVE THEM OVER to a reprobate mind,
to do those things which are not convenient.
·
God said; “you shall not add unto
the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought
from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
·
God said; “If any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book”.
·
God said; ”Add thou not unto his
words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar
·
God said; “If any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away
his part out of the book of life”. – The QJV writers say that this verse
only applies to the Book of Revelation which they did not change.
·
God said; “Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law, till all be fulfilled”.
·
God said; “And even as they did
not like to retain God in their knowledge, GOD GAVE THEM OVER to
a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled
with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without
natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who KNOWING THE JUDGMENT
OF GOD,
that they which COMMIT
SUCH THINGS
are WORTHY OF DEATH,
not only do the same,
but have pleasure in them
that do them.
Genesis 3:1- Did God really say that?
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "INDEED, HAS GOD SAID, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" (NASB

Deuteronomy 4:1-2 – You shall not add to or
diminish God’s Word
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
2 Ye shall not ADD unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye DIMINISH ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. (KJV)

2 Ye shall not ADD unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye DIMINISH ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. (KJV)
Proverbs 30:5-6 – You are a liar if you add to
God’s Word
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. (KJV)
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. (KJV)
Revelation 22:18-19 - Change God’s word – Will be
damned
18 For I testify unto every
man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (KJV)
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (KJV)
Matthew 5:18 – Not one period or comma will pass
away
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (KJV)
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (KJV)
Romans 1:28-32 - They did
not HONOR God
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD, that they which COMMIT SUCH THINGS are WORTHY OF DEATH, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (KJV)

In the multitude of counselors,
there is wisdom.
Proverbs 11:14
I
am grateful to those that went before me providing concepts, ideas, historical
information,

can stand on their shoulders
and
see further that I otherwise ever could have.
