I wasn’t talking about you
specifically, JD. Are you feeling guilty? iz From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why not actually read the posts before making
comment. Nothing I have said of late is a slander to KIng
James. JD I would be
ashamed before God to slander such a man as King James. I am so thankful for the
heritage he left us. izzy -----Original

some substance to these wild assertions by posting a few quotes from one
of King James' books. The following is
quoted from Basilikon Doron, which can be found at: http://users.bigpond.net.au/catchus/Basilikon%20Doron.html -------------------------------------- CHARITABLE
Reader, it is one of the golden sentences which Christ our Saviour vttred to
his Apostles, that there "is nothing so couered, that shal not be reuealed,
neither so hid, that shall not be knowne: and whatsoeuer they haue spoken
in darknesse, should bee heard in the light: and that which they had spoken
in the eare in secret place, should be publiklie preached on the tops of the
houses." And since he hath said it, most true must it bee, since the authour
thereof is the fountaine and very being of truth. Which should moue all
godlie and honest men, to bee very warie in all their secretest
actions, and whatsoeuer middesses they vse for attaining to their most wished ends:
least otherwaise how avowable soeuer the mark be, where-at they aime, the
middesses being discouered to be shamefull, whereby they climbe; it may
turne to the digrace both of the good work it selfe, and of the authour
thereof: since the deepest of our secrets cannot be hid from that al-seeing
eye, and penetrant light, pearcing through the bowels of verie darknesse
it selfe. --------------------------------------- The term
"evangelical Christian" is anachronistic in regards to King James, but I think what
he wrote above is very much like what we might expect from an
"evangelical." He takes time to quote Christ, calling him, "our
Saviour,"
and he assures us that because Jesus spoke it, it must be true, calling Jesus the
fountain and very being of truth. In regards to
inuendos of homosexuality and fornication, read what King James wrote as
advice to his son below: --------------------------------------- First of all
consider, that Mariage is the greatest earthly felicitie or miserie, that can
come to a man, according as it pleaseth God to blesse or cursse the same.
Since then without the blessing of GOD, ye can not looke for a happie
successe in Mariage; ye must be carefull both in your præparation for
it, and in the choise and vsage of your wife, to procure the same. By your
præperation, I meane, that ye must keepe your bodie cleane and vnpolluted, till
ye giue it to your wife; whome-to onelie it belongeth. For how can yee
justlie craue to be joined with a pure Virgine, if your body be polluted? Why
should the one halfe be cleane, and the other defiled? And althogh I knowe,
Fornication is thought but a light and a veniall sinne, by the most part of
the world: yet remember well what I saide to you in my first booke anent
conscience: and count euerie sinne and breache of Gods law, not
according as the vaine world esteemeth of it; but as God the judge and maker of the
lawe accounteth of the same. Heare God commanding by the mouth of Paul, to
"abstaine from Fornication," declaring that the "Fornicator
shall not inherite the kingdome of heauen:" and by the mouth of Iohn, reckoning
out Fornication amongst other greeuous sinnes, that debarres the committers
amongst "Dogges and Swine, from entrie in that spirituall and heauenly
Ierusalem." --------------------------------------- He uses the
strongest possible terms to denounce fornication. Again, yes, King James does
sound rather "evangelical" doesn't he? If James were not a king, he might
make a good street preacher, eh? :-) Peace be with
you. ---------- "Let your
