is that KJV was translated by a King called James and he was gay? this bible is supposed to be the original?
from the original texts in hebrew and greek even when I found some bibles before king james.. but this Bible was designed for the anglican church originally
1) The King James Version (KJV) was not translated by King James. However, he did *permit* (authorize) the translation. The translation work was done by university scholars.
2) There were claims after the death of King James that he was a homosexual (made by his enemies). There is *slight* evidence supporting this. By that I mean, there is a little bit of circumstantial evidence, but nothing that is conclusive. Personally, I believe that he *probably* was gay. However, he did not have a hand in the translation, and the KJV *very* strongly forbids homosexuality.
3) The KJV is not the "original". Some people have been misled by the legend that the KJV is the first English bible. Just to give you an idea
about year 100 - all the books of the bible are completed
about year 350 - the first Greek codices are completed. These might be called the first bibles, but they include Scriptures in the New Testament that Christians today consider to be invalid.
about year 405 - the Latin Vulgate is completed. This bible has a New Testament identical to the one we know, and most consider this to be the first "official" Christian bible.
about year 1385 - the first complete English bible, the Wyclif bible
year 1537 - the first authorized English bible, the Matthew's Bible
year 1560 - the first English bible translated entirely from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, the Geneva Bible
year 1611 - the King James Bible
year 1895 - the last bible authorized by the Church of England, the Revised Version

I've heard copyists made additions to the KJV Bible. How can overzealous believers add to the Word of God?
We must think about this, either overzealous heretics corrupted the Word of God (in the Minority Text) or overzealous believers added to the Word of God (in the Majority Text). People have told me my King James Bible has verses added to it, but what overzealous believers would actually add to the Word of God? Doesn't it make more sense for overzealous heretics to change verses or take away verses like they did in the Minority Text, which agrees with only five percent of the text available, and disagrees with the Majority Text over 5000 times. There can't possibly be two Words of God.
In essence, there are only two basic interpretations, the King James and the Douay (Roman Catholic).
The King James was translated from what is called the Textus Recepticus, or most-widely accepted Scriptures.
After the Textus Recepticus was accumulated (not in book form), the Alexandrian text was developed, but this included some writings that were done by others who were not physically present with Jesus (Paul had personal encounters with Jesus after His resurrection).
The Latin Vulgate version was translated from the Alexandrian text and later converted into the Douay version. It still contains what is called the Apocrypha, which are books of very doubtful authenticity.
The King James Version has been re-translated into many modern-language versions.
That's why it's so important to base beliefs on the King James (Authorized) Version, because it is directly derived from the earliest known texts. It's a really good idea to use a Strong's Concordance so that root meanings of the orginal Hebrew (OT) and Greek (NT) words can be checked.
A fairly good modern-language text is the Holman Christian Study Bible.
