The King James Bible, published in 1611, was England`s authorized version of the Bible translated from the original Hebrew and Greek languages into English at the request of King James I of England. At the time, other English Bibles existed, but King James did not like the most popular translation, the Geneva Bible, because he felt that some of the marginal notes encouraged disobedience to kings. By June of 1604, fifty-four of England`s foremost scholars and linguists were formed into six panels to translate particular groups of Old Testament and New Testament books and the Aprocrypha (the Aprocrypha was dropped from later editions) into English. Even though King James agreed to the new Bible translation, and the translators dedicated their work "to the most high and mighty prince James," the King James Version was never officially recognized by the king, nor was it ever authorized as the only text permitted to be read in church. Despite this, it soon replaced both the Bishops` Bible and the Geneva Bible in popularity and became the leading text for private use. The Hovind`s LOVE the King James version and are always saying that it is the inherent, infallible, word of God to be taken literally. Lots was left out when this version was made and it was made primarily from a few other versions, a hack and chop if you will. Silly really. 95% of the people that read the bible don`t even know this story. *wipes tear*

I almost forgot one the best things about that story. King James preferred young boys to adult women. He was a homosexual. His activities in that regard have been recorded in numerous books and public records; so much so, that there no room for debate on the subject. The King was "queer". The very people who use the King James Bible today would be the first ones to throw such a deviant out of the congregations. Lmao, oh the irony! February 10, 1604, he ordained: "That a translation be made of the whole Bible, as consonant as can be to the original Hebrew and Geek, and this to be set out and printed without any marginal notes, and only to be used in all churches of England in time of divine service." He then set up rules that made it impossible for anyone involved in the project to make an honest translation, some of which where:
1. The ordinary Bible read in the church, commonly called the Bishop`s Bible to be followed and as little altered as the truth of the original will permit.
2. Or, since the common people preferred the Geneva Bible to the existing government publication, let`s see if we can slip a superseding government publication onto their bookshelves, altered as little as possible.
3. The old Ecclesiastical words to be kept, viz. the word "church" not to be translated "congregation," etc.
4. That is, if a word should be translated a certain way, let`s deliberately mistranslate it to make the people think God still belongs to Anglican Church - exclusively.
5. No marginal notes at all to be affixed, but only for the explanation of the Hebrew or Greek words, which cannot without some circumlocution, so briefly and fitly be expressed in the text.

You can find more info at Otto Scott`s "James I:
The Fool As King" (Ross House: 1976), pp. 108, 111,
120, 194, 200, 224, 311, 353, 382; King James-VI of Scotland/I of England by Antonia Fraser (Alfred A.
Knopf, New York 1975)pp. 36, 37, 38; King James VI
and I by David Harris Willson, pp.36, 99; James I by
his Contemporaries by Robert Ashton, p114; and A
History of England by Samuel Rawson Gardiner, Vol.
4, p.112. Check also A LITERARY HISTORY OF THE BIBLE by Geddes MacGregor who has devoted a whole chapter entitled "QUEEN" JAMES. The Mammoth Book of Private Lives by Jon E. Lewis, pp. 62,65,66. James White also makes mention of it in his book, THE KING JAMES ONLY CONTROVERSY. See also King James and the History of Homosexuality by Michael B. Young and King James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire by David Moore Bergeron.
For those people who feel that the above is a result
of the attack on King James by the 17th century
tobacco industry are ignorant of the fact that his
behavior and personal life were quite well known to
his contemporaries. "He disdained women and fawned unconscionably on his favorite men." ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA-pp. 674,675. Happy reading. =)

"the bible has never been proven wrong", a very typical fingers-in-the-ears approach, believing that saying something makes it so.
