Love the KJV so much is it because King James was gay I thought they hated Gays..
'Queen James' One area of the life of King James that for many years remained clouded in controversy was allegations that James was homosexual. As James did father several children by Anne of Denmark, it is actually more accurate to say that he was allegedly a bi-sexual. While his close relationships with a number of men were noted, earlier historians questioned their sexual nature, however, few modern historians cast any doubt on the King's bisexuality and the fact that his sexuality and choice of male partners both as King of Scotland then later in London as King of England were the subject of gossip from the city taverns to the Privy Council. His relationship as a teenager with fellow teenager Esmé Stuart, Earl of Lennox was criticized by Scottish Church leaders, who were part of a conspiracy to keep the young King and the young French courtier apart, as the relationship was improper to say the least. Lennox, facing threats of death, was forced to leave Scotland. In the 1580s, King James openly kissed Francis Stewart Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell. Contemporary sources clearly hinted their relationship was a sexual one. When James inherited the English throne from Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, it was openly joked of the new English monarch in London that "Elizabeth was King: now James is Queen!" If there is still any doubt, it should be noted that George Villiers, also held an intimate relationship with King James, about which King James himself was quite open. King James called Villiers his "wife" and called himself Villiers' "husband"! King James died in 1625 of gout and senility. He is buried in the Henry VII chapel in Westminster Abbey, with one of his favorite male suitors on his right, and another on his left.

This fundie prefers the NIV but I do reference the KJV.

King James was the overseer of the translation - not part of the group that translated it...
And when you look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, you're able to see that the KJV and NKJV hold closest to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic translations that we would have used during the time they were made.
(And the Apocrypha was never included in the Jewish Torah and was condemned by the Israelites as teachings that weren't divinely inspired. Hence the reason they're not in the Bible anymore.)
St. John Bosco, Go Dodgers!
The funniest thing I find is that the KJV 1611 is the best KJV out there.
It contained the Apocrypha. Then they say their KJV is the right bible, that's funny since it has been changed so much since the 1611 one.
I don't even think they know this!

the Reason this Fundie Pent"E"costal, loves the KJV is for the poetic and stern language. But this funde pentecostal happens to like several other versions too, oh and I also happen to be gay myself.

Your first statement shows ignorance... the ACTS associated with a "gay" lifestyle is a sin... we hate the SIN because God hates the sin... praying you get beyond your hate for those different than you...
