World’s First Gay Bible Launched: Includes Chapter And Verses That Promote Same Sex
A book claiming to be the world’s first ‘gay bible’ has been published to coincide with the debate on same-Sêx marriage.
gay_bibleTitled the ‘Queen James Bible’, its editors claim that it is a re-working of the King James Bible translated in a way that ‘prevents homophobic misinterpretation of God’s Word’.
‘Homosexuality was first overtly mentioned in the Bible in 1946 in the Revised Standard Version. There is no mention of or reference to homosexuality in any Bible prior to this – only interpretations have been made’, the book’s official website said.
KING V QUEEN: BIBLES COMPARED
Genesis 19:5 (King James)
‘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.’
Genesis 19:5 (Queen James)
‘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’
Timothy 1:10 (King James)
‘For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine’
Timothy 1:10 (Queen James)
‘For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine’
Jude 1:7 (King James)’
‘Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, 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’
Jude 1:7 (Queen James)
‘Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after nonhuman flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire’
The publication, printed and bound in the U.S. is timed to coincide with the current debate over same-Sêx marriage.
The sales pitch on the website says: ‘You can’t choose your sexuality, but you can choose Jesus. Now you can choose a Bible, too’.
The book is on sale online but does not advertise its origins, with no specific publisher, editor or translator listed by name on it’s offical website. ‘God’ is listed as the author and ‘Jesus Christ’ a contributor.
Douglas J. Moo, Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies at Wheaton College and a professional Bible translator, told The Christian Post that the Queen James editors’ assessment of past translations is not entirely accurate.
‘Few, if any English translations use the actual words ‘homosexuality’ or ‘homosexual.’ But the history of English translation shows that versions have consistently used other language to refer to what we would call homosexual relationships’, said Mr Moo.
‘For instance, the King James Version of Romans 1:27 refers to ‘men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly.
‘It would be very difficult to deny that this language, and the language found in many other places in both the OT and the NT, refers to homosexuality.’
A Vicar in New Zealand, meanwhile, has caused outrage by putting up a poster outside his church in Auckland, New Zealand, that claims Jesus was gay.
‘It’s Christmas. Time for Jesus to come out’, the sign proclaims, with an image of baby Jesus as a toddler in a manger, surrounded by a rainbow halo.
Reverend Glynn Cardy of St Matthew in the City church, said that, as homosexuality was not a word until the 1800s, any mention of it in the Bible or other documents would have mistranslations.
He points out that there is no indication about Jesus’s sexuality: ‘The fact is we don’t know what his SêxÜal orientation was.’
His attempts at challenging the status quo were defended by fellow Reverend Clay Nelson who said the billboard tried to humanise Jesus by getting people to think about the challenges he would have had growing up.
He added: ‘Some scholars have tried to make the case that he might have been gay.
‘But it is all conjecture. Maybe gay, maybe not. Does it matter?
‘There is almost nothing in the record of his teachings about sexuality while there is plenty about the perils of being rich. Certainly he always supported the marginalised in society.’

It’s total depravity for a man to call his fellow man ‘this is my wife’.Equally,it is outright insanity for another man to call his fellow man ‘this is my husband’.Worse still,for a preacher to officiate and sanction such an unnatural marriage,it is a revelation of serious decay of morality and blinding religious schizophrenia that the so-called gay clergy.”Because of this,God gave them over to shameful lusts.Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations with women and were inflamed with lusts for one another.Men committed shameful acts with other men,and received in themselves the due penalty for error.”(Romans 1:26-27).You see, even nature itself testifies that such acts are an affront to nature.Lipato,you are right.Less sensible animals obey the law of nature!!!It is amazing grace,nonetheless,to know that Jesus Christ carried such sins and was punished for them.We pray that hearts of such people will be receptive to the transforming Gospel of Christ.Pray on and preach on!!!

Only those who were born from man to man and from woman to woman if there are such can do that. Be careful if satan can reach to such an extent of reducing the group of pipo to such an animal thinking wat of u an individual. Kindly let us cling to GOD ONLY.

Let’s call sin by its right name. What the world needs today is men who will stand for the truth irrespective of circumstance. The truth remains the same yesterday, today and forever. The truth does not change with times. Stop deceiving the people homosexuality is a sin full stop debate closed.

THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS A LIER.HE USES THE TRUTH OF GOD TO DECIEVE MANKIND WITH IT IN A WRONG WAY.THIS TIME AROUND HE IS USING THE HOLY WORD OF GOD(THE BIBLE)TO INLUENCE THE MULTITUDES INTO WRONG ACTIVITIES LIKE HOMOSEXIAL AS HE KNOWS HIS TIME OF JUDGMENT IS NOT FAR OFF.LADIES AND GENTLEMEN CHRIST IS SOON COMING SO LET’S PREPARE FOR HIM BY BEING BORN AGAIN.THE CLUE IS THAT WHENEVER YOU HEAR ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD OR CHRIST IS COMING BACK,YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE OR FEAR WITHIN YOUR HEARTS JUST KNOW YOU ARE NOT A FULLY REPENTANT CHRISTIAN AND YOU ARE NOT READY FOR CHRIST’S GLORIOUS COMING.PRAY,REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND FOLLOW CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR.John 14vs 15

DO NOT DRAG ANIMALS IN THIS ISSUE, ANIMALS AS THEY ARE CAN DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE. OTHERWISE THESE IDIOTS THINK LOWER THAN ANIMALS.NO ONE WAS BORN WITH SUCH PREFERENCES ITS SELF-IMPLEMENTED FOOLISHNESS.YOU DISGUST ME WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELVES ‘GAY OR LESBIAN’. THE WORST THING IS THAT YOU EVEN WANT TO ADOPT CHILDREN! WHY CAN’T YOU PRODUCE YOUR OWN IF YOU THINK WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS RIGHT? FOOLISH AS YOU ARE ENTERING YOUR FRIEND’S ANUS MAY GOD SURELY PUNISH YOU.

What is the woman’s vagina for? What is the man’s penis for? These gay people are just pricking into God’s eyes. You can’t surely tell me that the anus was meant for sex. That is the place where faecal matters come out. God please help us.All I can ask of them is to repent and NOT to put our God to test. Gay people please stop altering God’s creation. Plz,plz,plz,plz or else you will regret. And I ask the former Gospel musicisn and preacher, B Slade formerly Tonex should stop being gay, repent and go back to the pulpit.

Rubbish.Never should such a devils writting be allowed anywhere in our Nation.Only hope the Amy worms will not cause severe hunger in the Nations so much that the same devil will come & give you food in exchange of that foolish doctrine.We have to be prayerful. Believe or not each day we are drawing close to the son of man.Dying of hunger or allow homosexuality in your constitution and get the seal 666.Only those who have accepted Jesus will be able to stand.Not just by talking but by action.Will see.

In every man there is potential to become a thief, witch, fornicator, murderer,liar, gay/lesbian. By the grace of God those who submit to His will are protected by His hand from such practices, but in your low moments, when you decide to walk alone,if you happen to yield, please do not misquote the Holy Bible to support your sin. Sin is sin even when coated with nice icing.

Quoting from Newt Gingrich an American politician “It is in every family … It is in every community. The momentum is clearly now in the direction in finding some way to … accommodate and deal with reality. And the reality is going to be that in a number of American states — and it will be more after 2014 — gay relationships will be legal, period.”
My response: Leviticus 18:22 – You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. We accept the fact that thieves and murderers exist but dealing with reality does not mean we should endorse pagan behaviour.

We argue with pipo who say let’s put bible aside, lets seperate church from state and recognise other pipos preferences and opinions. No I cannot put the Bible aside; not even for a second coz that’s my guiding light. Now I see that it’s like teaching a dog how to sing; it only frustrates you and annoys the dog. What shall we do then?
