king james i of england was gay. why do american protestants use a bible commissioned by the most homosexual monarch in british history, but still refuse to perform same-sex marriages?

They enjoy living in a world of lies and condemn any form of truth that doesn't exist in their world.

His sexual persuasion had absolutely nothing to do with commissioning a better translation of the Holy Word. I believe it was an effort to unite a country that had experienced a great deal of discord due to the divisiveness of Puritanism, Catholicism and that of the Church of England (the official church in England after Henry the VIII's "reformation). It also made the reading of the Word more readily available to the common people. It was a political move on his part.

King Jame was a wicked king but the Bible was pen by Godly people.
The fact that King Jame was wicked doesn't mean it was not ok to get approved for publishing the Bible. Many people have lost their lives to previous wicked king.
Haven't you met an unrighteous boss that done wicked things but you being righteous kept to the faith like going to church?
If I were a Christian, I am willing to witness King Jame and show from the Bible so that he can get right with God.

King James just commitioned the translation of the bible. He himself did not write it. it was translated by the church of england with the translation scholars numbering between 47-54 total. there were already english translations of the bible before the KJV was translated. same-sex mariages are against the doctrines of the scriptures.

Last time I checked, the requirements for hiring Bible translators and the requirements for marriage were very different. Or are they now requiring a college degree in Greek and Hebrew to get a marriage license?
Pointless question....

I don't, I use the Original New testament before king Constantine Changed the Bible. in 324 AD with his click of scribes manipulated what he wanted the bible to say. He even added Paul's teachings who never even met Jesus (who's name was actually Yeshuah) He had all bibles burned which was easy to do back then because only the higher ups in the church and government had copies and women couldn't read. The original followers of Yeshuah went into hiding, because they where being killed by the Roman Government they took a copy of the original New Testament (The Gospel of the Nazirenes with them) it has been found hidden in a Buddhist temple and is available in English now. Totally amazing for info google gospelofthenazirenes.com Following the original teachings of Jesus will set one free. Jesus originally taught karma, reincarnation, vegetarianism and no one goes to hell eternally.

Every human has the capacity to be homo. What's your point?
God can use anyone for good.
