There are no words for this. If gays weren't thought of revising history............. then this should open peoples eyes. As a devout Christian, I can not accept this. One thing is for sure, this will be interesting to see how they retranslate to appease them. After all, the Bible is pretty specific. I think when gays start playing God and playing with the world of God, they are playing with fire.
Instead of having a hissy fit, read the links. You will discover that 8 verses were retranslated and the rationale behind the new translations: queenjamesbible.com/gay-bible/
And why this new translation is named the Queen James Bible -
Quote:
The King James Bible is the most popular Bible of all time, and arguably the most important English language document of all time. The brainchild and namesake of King James I, who wanted an English language Bible that all could own and read, it has been in print for over 400 years and has brought more people to Christ than any other Bible translation. Commonly known to biographers but often surprising to most Christians, King James I was a well-known bisexual. Though he did marry a woman, his many gay relationships were so well-known that amongst some of his friends and court, he was known as “Queen James.” It is in his great debt and honor that we name The Queen James Bible so.
King James was a homosexual....so it was already interpreted to favor homosexuals to begin with. If they hadn't interpreted it so the word spared homosexuals.....well, then you know what Kings do to those who've offended them.
Homosexuals were never even mentioned in the original Hebrew and Greek.

You have never even seen the "original Hebrew or Greek", so let's not be pretentious...
You only have revisionist history to cling on to. Whether it was or wasn't mentioned in the original scriptures is not something that cannot be argued pragmatically.. But, common sense would tell you, that society hasn't come this far vilifying homosexuality out of nowhere.
Even pillaging the piecemeal of history....civilizations where homosexuality was openly accepted were extremely isolated.
But King James was openly gay...we know that much.

I think you should be more worried about the people who pick and choose which parts of the Bible they want to follow and then turn around and judge those who don't fit description of "normal"...
And it starts. Who didn't know that the homosexual community would be chipping away at Christianity. It's their goal, that's why they are so stuck on "marriage" and don't want civil unions. It's all a ruse to cause trouble.

I am assuming as a good Christian you follow ALL parts of the Bible...? You live by the book right?
Even Thomas Jefferson (often quoted by our conservative friends herein) created his own Bible. Indeed, you may travel to Washington D.C. and view the actual book he 'cut and pasted' together (I guess that Mr. Jefferson was the very first person to resort to 'cutting and pasting', now used to such effect by many CD'ers):
