INTRODUCTION
"I never with God's grace shall do anything in private which I may not without shame proclaim upon the tops of houses." King James I, "And there must go much more to the making of a guilty man, than rumor." Ben Johnson,
"USING THE PERSON OF KING JAMES TO ATTACK THE KING JAMES BIBLE."
"King James was a fag. How can you advocate a Bible that was translated by a faggot?" (From an Internet chat room)
"King James was a homosexual. . . Was a harsh persecutor of our forefathers . . . King James chose the King James translators, instructed the King James translators, approved and disapproved portions of the translation." Baptist evangelist J.H. Melton. Many critics of the King James Bible are deeply condescending towards the defenders of the King James Bible. This is seen in the statement by James White in
What can we know of the private lives of early British sovereigns? Through the unusually large number of letters that withstand from King James VI of Scotland/James I of England (), we can know a great deal. Using original letters, primarily from the British Library and the National Library of Scotland, David Bergeron creatively argues that James' correspondence with certain men in his court constitutes a gospel of homoerotic desire. Bergeron grounds his provocative study on an examination of the tradition of letter writing during the Renaissance and draws a connection between queer desire and letter writing during that historical period.
King James, commissioner of the Bible translation that bears his name, corresponded with three principal male favorites—Esmé Stuart (Lennox), Robert Carr (Somerset), and George Villiers (Buckingham). Esmé Stuart, James' older French cousin, arrived in Scotland in and became an intimate adviser and friend to the adolescent king.

QUESTION: I have been told that King James was a gay. Is this true?
ANSWER: No.
EXPLANATION: King James I of England, who authorized the translation of the now known King James Bible, was considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, monarchs that England has ever seen.
Through his wisdom and determination he united the warring tribes of Scotland into a unified nation, and then joined England and Scotland to form the foundation for what is now known as the British Empire.
At a day when only the churches of England possessed the Bible in English, King James' desire was that the usual people should include the Bible in their native tongue. Thus, in , King James called 54 of history's most learned men together to achieve this great task. At a period when the leaders of the planet wished to maintain their subjects in spiritual ignorance, King James offered his subjects the greatest gift that he could give them. Their own duplicate of the Pos of God in English.

A: ***Note: Years ago, the very first question I answered on this site was on the KJV only debate. Therefore, it seems fitting to once again deal with a interrogate on the KJV Bible to commemorate the th question answered. I thank the Lord for getting me to this indicate, and for His blessings on the site.
Somehow, in all my years of entity a Christian, I have never heard the charge that King James was a homosexual until the other day. A dude (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 show 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.
