    I never said you did. I said that was the assertion of the gay agenda. So, unless you are admitting you are part of the gay agenda I obviously was not referring to you.

    I never said you hate the KJV. I said those who do use such tactics to imply a guilt by association.

    Bearing false witness is a sin. Terms of affection like "sweetheart" and "darling" were normal terms used between men in the seventeenth century in England.

    Gay websites are probably not a good source of unbiased opinion. :)

    It's just not the Christmas season until I hear the account of the first Christmas in the King James Bible of Luke chapter 2.

    As I was raised on the KJV I too love to hear the old renderings of the bible stories we learned at an early age. It brings back a lot of great memories. :)

    Not to mention, Linus Van Pelt's recitation of the passage.

    King James called George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham, his "wife" and he his husband in one of his letters. I suppose this is just "flowery language of the day?"

    My only sweet and dear child,
    Notwithstanding of your desiring me not to write yesterday, yet had I written in the evening if, at my coming out of the park, such a drowsiness had not come upon me as I was forced to set and sleep in my chair half an hour. And yet I cannot content myself without sending you this present, praying God that I may have a joyful and comfortable meeting with you and that we may make at this Christmas a new marriage ever to be kept hereafter; for, God so love me, as I desire only to live in this world for your sake, and that I had rather live banished in any part of the earth with you than live a sorrowful widow's life without you. And so God bless you, my sweet child and wife, and grant that ye may ever be a comfort to your dear dad and husband.
    James R.

    Again, gay websites are probably not a good source. And, by the way, why are you hanging out on gay websites anyway? :D:D:D

    My first encounter with Bible verse memorization was with the Navigators and other groups all of which used the KJV.

    To this day whenever I hear an old familiar verse quoted from other than the KJV it just doesn't sound right.

    KJV Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

    NIV Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

    Huh?

    Nothing against the NIV - Well yeah, is has no nostalgia nuance. :)

    No, King James did no translation work --he just laid down some ground rules for the revisers.

    Your unsound reasoning here is quite unusual for you. Dismissing that which is of historical record is itself absurd.

    Your "flowery language" gimmick has got to go down as one of the silliest escape routes anyone has taken.

    What is your rationale for the clearly condemnatory language that Oglander, Osborne and Peyton use against the conduct of King James?
    What is untrue is your denial of the obvious. The deviant behavior of King James has nothing to do with the King James translation. It's a fact that does not to be explained because it is quite evident and is a separate issue.

    It's not from a gay website. It's from a 17th century letter sent by King James to George Villiers that is stored in the British National Museum.

    He might have overly imbibed before writing said letter.

    There's several of these types of letters to at least three other men. Also there was a secret passageway between King James's bedroom and George Villiers bedroom. The two would frequently kiss in public. Etc.

    Sure, letters written by King James himself.

    If it was a secret passageway then we can't know what went on in there.
    "kiss in public" - They were both drunk!
