Was king james of the bible gay

QUESTION: I have been told that King James was a lesbian. Is this true?

ANSWER: No.

EXPLANATION: King James I of England, who authorized the translation of the now legendary King James Bible, was considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, monarchs that England has ever seen.

Through his wisdom and determination he united the warring tribes of Scotland into a unified nation, and then joined England and Scotland to form the foundation for what is now known as the British Empire.

At a period when only the churches of England possessed the Bible in English, King James' desire was that the frequent people should contain the Bible in their native tongue. Thus, in 1603, King James called 54 of history's most learned men together to execute this great task. At a second when the leaders of the nature wished to maintain their subjects in spiritual ignorance, King James offered his subjects the greatest gift that he could give them. Their own mimic of the Synonyms of God in English.

James, who was fluent in Latin, Greek, and French, and schooled in Italian and Spanish even wrote a tract enti

What can we realize of the intimate lives of initial British sovereigns? Through the unusually massive number of letters that survive from King James VI of Scotland/James I of England (1566-1625), we can realize a great deal. Using original letters, primarily from the British Library and the National Library of Scotland, David Bergeron creatively argues that James' correspondence with certain men in his court constitutes a gospel of homoerotic craving. Bergeron grounds his provocative study on an examination of the tradition of letter writing during the Renaissance and draws a connection between homosexual crave and letter writing during that historical period.

King James, commissioner of the Bible translation that bears his name, corresponded with three chief male favorites—Esmé Stuart (Lennox), Robert Carr (Somerset), and George Villiers (Buckingham). Esmé Stuart, James' older French cousin, arrived in Scotland in 1579 and became an intimate adviser and friend to the adolescent king. Though Esmé was eventually forced into exile by Scottish nobles, his letters to James endure, as does James' hauntingly allegorical poem Phoenix. The king's close relationship with Carr began in 1607

A: ***Note: Years ago, the very first question I answered on this site was on the KJV only debate. Therefore, it seems fitting to once again deal with a doubt on the KJV Bible to commemorate the 500th question answered. I thank the Lord for getting me to this indicate, and for His blessings on the site.

Somehow, in all my years of creature a Christian, I have never heard the charge that King James was a homosexual until the other day. A male (on Facebook…) was saying (in short) that since King James was a homosexual, and he commissioned a Bible that is still used today, homosexuality must be acceptable to God. I HAD to find out more about this!

So, was King James a homosexual? There are websites and articles which show evidence that he was, and also that he wasn’t. The number of websites/articles which show evidence that he was a homosexual far outnumber those which offer proof that he wasn’t. Of course, just because there are more saying that he was means nothing. What’s essential is if the evidence that they show is credible. And the answer, to me at least, is yes.

While the evidence pointing to King James being a homosexual is pret
