A book claiming to be the world’s first ‘gay bible’ has been published to coincide with the debate on same-sex marriage. According to the editors it’s a re-work of the King James Bible, translated in a way ‘prevents homophobic misinterpretation of God’s Word’.
“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.” (Source: www.queenjamesbible.com)
For example this passage from Leviticus 18:22
King James Version: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.
Queen James Version: Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind in the temple of Molech: it is an abomination. (Page 75)
Comparison of the King James Bible and the Queen James Bible

I’m shocked at the publication of this supposed ‘Queen James Bible’. It is clearly written in the bible that you shouldn’t add or subtract anything from the bible. I only fear the Almighty God.
Revelations 22:18-19: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth 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.
How can there be a bible for gays whilst the bible vividly speaks against homosexuality? Who are they deceiving?
Galations 6:7: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
