Therefore, it seems fitting to once again deal with a interrogate on the KJV Bible to commemorate the th doubt answered. I express gratitude the Lord for getting me to this point, and for His blessings on the site.
Somehow, in all my years of being a Christian, I contain never heard the charge that King James was a homosexual until the other day. A man (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. Of course, just because there are more saying that he was means nothing. What&#;s key is if the evidence that they show is credible. And the acknowledge, to me at least, i

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).
