Recently I re-read the page entitled "Why trust the King James version?" (link is to the left) and also let the last line on that page sink it (which says the KJV of the Bible is the most gay friendly version). I then got out my various Bibles and began "comparing notes."
One of the passages I ran across is from 1 Timothy 1:9-10 which says,
KJV--
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 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;
Notice verse 10? It says, "For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind..." Most modern versions of the Bible have replaced the word "whoremongers" with "homosexuals." The original Greek word is "Pornos" which means "a man who prostitutes his body to another's lust for hire." This term refers to what we call a " a male prostitute."
Some versions of the Bible have replaced the word "whoremonger" not with "homosexual" but with "fornicator." According to Strong's KJV Lexicon "fornicator" and "whoremonger" have the same meaning. Both words are referring to a male prostitute and NOT gay people!
This is one small example from ONE passage in the Bible shows just how modern versions of the Bible have been changed so that they "fit" the agenda's of the people who author the new versions. People supported by certain churches and/or groups who want to FORCE the Bible into supporting their own WORDLY agendas and doctrines! This one passage from 1 Timothy ! supports an anti-gay agenda and reading it from a modern version of the Bible would lead one to believe that God hates gay people. But, in fact, that is NOT what this one passage says at all. In truth it is talking about whoredom and NOT homosexuality!! Yet, many churches and groups use 1 Timothy 1:10 to attack gay people and to judge gay Christians!!
Male prostitutes are NOT exclusively gay men! Many male prostitutes are STRAIGHT dudes some of whom swing both ways and others who only swing one way when it comes to their "customers." Yet, Christians in general have been MISLEAD into believing that 1 Timothy 1:10 is speaking against gay men and women because of their homosexuality!
The King James Version of the Bible is, in fact, the most ACCURATE translation of the Bible. It is, in fact, also the most gay-friendly version of the Bible!! My point is this: when you run across something that sounds anti-gay in the modern versions of your bibles check it against the King James Version. Don't ASSUME that what the modern version says is FACTUAL! Usually it is NOT factual at all. Do some study and research and above all pray about the passage asking the Holy Spirit to speak within you, guide you, and help you in understanding the true meaning of God's Word.
The New Testament warns us concerning false teachers and lying doctrines in these days in which we are living. 2 Peter 2:3 also reminds us of this:
"And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
What this passage is reminding us of is that false teachers with their false doctrines ONLY want your MONEY so they USE you by telling you LIES! I don't think I need to go into the mega-amounts of money that many mega-churches are collecting today. Churches that no longer even use collection plates but instead use 5 gallon BUCKETS for money collections. Sadly, Christians are being used today and false teachers bent on their LUST for money are fanning the flames of hatred against gay people. These false teachers are claiming that the Bible speaks against gay people BUT the truth is it does not. What it does speak against is prostitutes and FALSE TEACHERS along with LYING PROPHETS!
Keep that in mind the next time someone tells you "God hates wonderful people". And keep that in mind the next time you run across a teaching in a modern version Bible that stands against gay people. It is, ironically, these same self righteous, hate-filled people that claim the Word is infallible and that God's Word has NOT been changed. Yet, their own modern versions of the Bible PROVE that THEY are changing God's WORD to fit into their own hate-born agendas!
