Why the posts here promoting the idea that King James was ***? Why should that matter to anyone?
XenonEmeritus asked:
So what? King James was a very evil king, in the opinion of many than and many now. So he had a Bible version named after him. So what? It’s not like he did any of his own Greek and Hebrew translation as an expert of his day.

What’s the point? We know King James was considered evil by many. Now someone comes along and says he was *** as well. Why should that be relevant in a Religion & Spirituality forum?
Explain?

I don’t know if he was gay, but he was a total hooligan, by all accounts. He gave the order for the Bible to be translated, but that was his only contribution to the faith. His lifestyle does not matter.

why the bible Describes what he did?
2 Samuel 1
23″Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their life,
And in their death they were not parted;
(AD)They were swifter than eagles,
(AE)They were stronger than lions.
26″I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;
You have been very pleasant to me.
(AG)Your love to me was more wonderful
Than the love of women.

King James Bible
Because…
King James I of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations.
The king gave the translators instructions designed to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its beliefs about an ordained clergy
The text was authorized” by Act of Parliament.
As for him being gay: The personal relationships of James I of England included relationships with his male courtiers: Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox, Robert Carr, 1st Earl of Somerset, and George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham

Most negative posts on here are extremely shallow. They are mostly meaningless.

An evil *** King?
Somehow that seems like an oxymoron, but I suppose it could be true. Maybe he was evil because he was in the closet and back in those days being *** was really a big no-no – especially for the English. I suspect their arch rivals, the French, didn’t much give a rat’s backside by then.
Anyhow, I don’t know why it should matter. It certainly means nothing to me.
