Answer: It doesn't bother me a bit, since Jesus cited the O.T. to tell his opponents how men are "gods." Now, in case ye do not know it, a god is a sovereign. Odd that you would use 20th century documentation to prove such a charge of homosexuality to disparage the Authorized Bible. One would think that you would document something juicy from the early 17th century. There is plenty of counter point documentation which contain James' own words against homosexuality, as well as a neat little story of one of his enemies, who sought to disgrace James after his DEATH. Shall we now talk about the Lesbians on the modern version committees? Or do we wish to stop being garbage collectors?

Oh, before I forget, God does not "wait" on anyone. He makes decisions in His time. It is we that are to wait on the Lord. And, yes, if the fact that the heart of the King is in the hand of the LORD (if that is inspired scripture), God engaged and used James to refine the word of God. -- Evans

. . . the LORD . . . turned the heart of the king of Syria . . . -- Ezra 6:22

51. Would you contend that the KJV translator, Richard Thomson, who worked on Genesis-Kings in the Westminster group, was "led by God in translating" even though he was an alcoholic that "drank his fill daily" throughout the work? [Gustavus S. Paine -- "The Men Behind the KJV" Baker Book House/1979/pgs. 40, 69] Is it possible that the rendition "gay clothing," in the KJV at James 2:3, could give the wrong impression to the modern-English KJV reader?

Answer: I would not even contend that you are "led" by God in your slimy garden of Eden type questions, none of which are predicated on any doctrine found in the word of God. It is not my business to judge, who is led by God and who is not. Was the adulterer and murderer, David, led by God? Was the polygamous and idolatrous Solomon led by God? Draw your own conclusions and then prove to me how you arrive at them. It would only give those who pervert the word, in that context, the wrong impression. Frankly, I think Sodomites is a much better word, even better than the "temple prostitutes" of the modern translations. Nevertheless, I do not get my views about the Bible from either secular or religious history as you do. -- Evans

. . . I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor. .. . . I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith . . . -- Jer. 23:30, 31

52. Did dead people "wake up" in the morning according to Isaiah 37:36 in the KJV?

Answer: Obviously, you need to go back to Sunday school. It does not say "dead" people woke up in the morning. It says "they arose" early in the morning. They that arose found the "they" that had been smitten, even the "they," who were all "dead corpses." Context man, context. It is incorrect to quote the Bible as saying, "there is no God." you must examine the context to find out that the "fool" says that. A course in remedial Bible study may help you. -- Evans

. . . if a man love me, he will keep my words . . . He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings . . . -- John 14:24

53. Was "Baptist" John's last name according to Matthew 14:8 and Luke 7:20 in the KJV?

Answer: Yes, if Christ was Jesus' last name. 1 Cor. 3:11 (Iaisous HO Christos)

And yes, if Iscariot was Judas' (son of Simon) last name. Mark 14:10 (Judas HO Iskariotais)

Jesus Christ and Jesus the Christ. Judas Iscariot and Judas the Iscariot. John Baptist and John the Baptist. Don't bother to check the NKJV or the NIV, they do not partake in your nitpicking here. Would you like some more names? -- Evans

. . . they speak a vision out of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. -- Jer. 23:16
