So are we really saying that the originator of your chosen translation, King James, did not discriminate, and persecute?

How can any true Christian accept an Appointing of a gay bishop ?

Are you really saying that the writers of the texts, themselves did not discriminate and persecute? Are you really saying that the "originators" of your chosen translation don't discriminate against homosexuals?

What I'm saying is that you flat-out lied about what Jesus taught, and when confronted with the proof that you lied, you decided you'd rather snipe at the King James Version that pay the slightest attention to the teachings of Jesus.
I gave you two Evangelical versions, too, and but you don't really give a damn about the version. You just don't want to talk about what Jesus said. Your hypocrisy reeks.
If you want to argue about the King James Version, start a thread.
If you want to talk about the teachings of Jesus, quote any version you like. You're still lying, though, and no translation is going to change that.

That the trap has snapped shut? Probably.

...not the answer that you need to give. Did you not realise that James I persecuted people on religious grounds? (It's an irony that he was a homosexual, according to many historians.)

No, it's not the answer you want me to give, but I don't give a damn what you want. This thread is not about the King James Version. You lied about the teachings of Jesus. You have demonstrated that you're a hypocrite with regard to respecting the Bible. And you're a fool if you think anybody here is going to fall for such shabby and transparent tactics.

But it is about King James, who persecuted Presbyterians, and Queen Elizabeth, who executed Catholics, and King Henry, who hanged a man for eating meat on a Friday.
And many more, Smoke. Maybe homosexuals today should be grateful they live when they do.

The more you try to run and change the subject, the more you prove your disrespect for Jesus and his teachings.
You lied about the teachings of Jesus. Your pitiful attempts to change the subject won't turn your lies into truth.

You are too much, Kejos.
It's one thing to ignore parts of a post that aren't germane to the issue, but you are completely avoiding talking about the salient points that everyone keeps giving you.
You have moved from intolerant bigotry, to hypocrisy, and now to cowardice.
Why not address the issue of how you are using your dogma to justify your bigoted position as opposed to the teachings of Jesus - as you have had pointed out to you?
Smoke and Sojourner are shaving, plucking, and buffing your backside in this thread, while you keep trying to laugh it off and avoid the issue. I have to say, I'm getting a good chuckle out of this.

More? How about this? The Canons of the Vatican even today describe Protestants as anathema- cursed. Now that judgementalism, if that's what it is, is as old as the Vatican itself, or rather, it's precursor, around 1700 years ago. So if it is wrong to judge, it's been wrong a very long time.

Okay, so you reject the teachings of Jesus in favor of the Vatican's canons. That's your prerogative. But it doesn't explain why you felt it necessary to lie about the teachings of Jesus.

Of course Catholics are Christians. Christians rarely follow the teachings of Jesus, a fact you seem determined to exemplify at every opportunity.
You lied about the teachings of Jesus. You didn't say the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Even though they have burned people alive for their Christian beliefs.
Sodomites are lucky, eh.
Smoke

Actually, Catholics have burned "sodomites" at the stake, too. Hanging was more common in Protestant England. Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, they may hate and persecute each other, but they've all hated and persecuted gay people. Like I said, Christians rarely follow the teachings of Jesus.
But it's kind of pitiful the way you keep trying to change the subject. No matter how you dance around, you still lied about the teachings of Jesus. It's odd that you would lie about his teachings when you don't even accept his teachings.
Priests and Bishops, etc are supposed to be celibate, aren't they? Even if you believe that sodomy is a sin, no Bishop would have sex at all. So honestly, how does it even matter?
Smoke
Done here.
Anglican bishops don't have to be celibate. Most of them are married.

Why don't they do it now?
