Man claims Bible causes him "emotional duress" because he's gay...

A gay man has filed a $70 million lawsuit against two Bible publishers, claiming their translations of the Bible calling homosexuality a sin caused him “emotional distress.”

The man, Bradley LaShawn Fowler, claims the publishers, Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, have manipulated scripture with the use of the term “homosexuals” in certain revised editions of the Bible.

“Fowler alleges that the term homosexual was deleted in later versions by Zondervan but in their 1982 and 1987 translations the publisher uses the term in First Corinthians 6:9 incorrectly,” Liberty Voice reported. “The older King James Version, from which his family pastor preaches, has caused him to be cast away by his family for its use of the word homosexual.”

“As a result of suffering 20 years of mental instability and emotional duress, Fowler is suing $60 million from Zondervan and $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing.”

Zondervan’s spokesperson, Tara Powers, dismissed his claims.

“Since Zondervan does not translate the Bible or own the copyright for any of the translations we publish, we are not in a position to comment on the merits of how a word should or should not be translated,” she said. “We rely on the scholarly judgment of the highly respected and credible translation committees behind each translation and never alter the text of the translations we are licensed to publish.”

“We only publish credible translations produced by credible biblical scholars.”

Other gay activists simply wrote their own gay-friendly “Bible” called the “Queen James Version.”

“The Queen James Bible resolves any homophobic interpretations of the Bible,” a website promoting the book states. “We wanted to make a book filled with the word of God that nobody could use to incorrectly condemn God’s LGBT children, and we succeeded.”

Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

And the book of malachi say:

Malachi 2:17
You have wearied the LORD with your
words. "How have we wearied him?" you
ask. By saying, "All who do evil are good
in the eyes of the LORD, and he is
pleased with them" or "Where is the God of justice?"

Amos 5:7
There are those who turn justice into
bitterness and cast righteousness to the
ground.

Yes and no.

Yes because in the time of the Antichrist Christianity shall be erased to 0%. The power of the Blood of Jesus and God's mercy will also be withdrawn from Earth.

No because God's word will never pass away. After the Antichrist reign, the Millennium with Jesus Christ on Earth begins and the Bible shall be taught to those generations who did not receive d mark of the beast.
