The KJV was created to get rid of the margin notes in the Geneva Bible (they were not favorable to kingly authority). Both KJV and Geneva were over 80% from Tyndale.
On a side note, my dad crossed out the name James in his Bible's forward and wrote "faggot" in it's place. God rest his soul, he was based.
King James was a political animal. He supported the translation to support a faction...
The KJV was produced with much reliance on the earlier Tyndale Bible....Tyndale was himself martyred at the stake....the bloody history of mostly Catholic oppression against the Tyndale and KJV recommends it for anyone who knows their Bible.
No, I said the opposite. That he played both/all sides, politically. Funding the KJV was a sot to one group.
I don't defend him on anything. Just that funding the KJV didn't mean much to him, therefore you can't really discredit the KJV by stapling it to him as a fag. It doesn't matter if he was. Too many good men were martyred for producing the KJV and its largest source, the Tyndale Bible.
Never heard this, but whatever the motive, it was good thing and probably the most significant event in Christianity since the Bible was written.
You’ve opened one hell of a can of a worms. If this post gets traction. The comments are going to be a war zone
