It was not until , upon the death of Queen Elizabeth I, that the kingdoms of Scotland and England were united and James became King James I of England, the first of the Stuart line.
Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to her son James in in Scotland. In June the Protestant lords rebelled against their queen.

What is the Queen James Bible?
Answer
The Queen James Bible (QJV), also called the “Gay Bible,” is an edit of the biblical text done in the name of preventing “homophobic interpretations.” To accomplish this goal, the publishers printed a Bible in which all negative references to homosexualityhave been removed. The Queen James Bible was published in and is based on the edition of the King James Bible.
The publishers of the Queen James Bible chose the name “Queen James” as an obvious take-off on the “King James” Version, as the Authorized Version of is commonly called. The publishers of the Gay Bible also claim that King James was bisexual, so their choice of title capitalizes on the slang definition of the term queen.
The editors of the Queen James Bible, who chose to be anonymous, claim that there was no reference to homosexuality in any Bible translation prior to the Revised Typical Version. Then, they assert, “anti-LGBT Bible interpretations” arose, based on a faulty translation in the RSV of eight verses.

You include been part of a research team that is searching to understand how the decision was made to place the word queer in the bible. Is that true?
Ed: Yes. It first showed up in the RSV translation. So before figuring out why they decided to use that word in the RSV translation (which is outlined in my upcoming novel with Kathy Baldock, Forging a Holy Weapon: How the Bible Became Anti-Gay) I wanted to see how other cultures and translations treated the alike verses when they were translated during the Reformation years ago. So I started collecting antique Bibles in French, German, Irish, Gaelic, Czechoslovakian, Polish… you name it. Now I’ve got most European major languages that I’ve unhurried over time. An

Therefore, it seems fitting to once again deal with a question on the KJV Bible to commemorate the th question answered. I thank the Lord for getting me to this point, and for His blessings on the site.
Somehow, in all my years of being a Christian, I have never heard the charge that King James was a homosexual until the other day. A man (on Facebook&#;) was saying (in short) that since King James was a homosexual, and he commissioned a Bible that is still used today, homosexuality must be acceptable to God. I HAD to find out more about this!
So, was King James a homosexual? There are websites and articles which display evidence that he was, and also that he wasn&#;t. The number of websites/articles which show evidence that he was a homosexual far outnumber those which offer proof that he wasn&#;t. Of course, just because there are more saying that he was means nothing. What&#;s essential is if the evidence that they show is credible. And the respond, to me at least, i
