    In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament from Hebrewand Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer(1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible for Epistle and Gospel readings (but not for the Psalter, which substantially retained Coverdale's Great Bible version) and as such was authorised by Act of Parliament.

    Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

    The Parliament of Great Britain was formed in 1707 following the ratification of the Treaty of Union by Acts of Union passed by the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland.

    Over the centuries, the English Parliament progressively limited the power of the English monarchy which arguably culminated in the English Civil War and the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649. After the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II, and the subsequent Glorious Revolution of 1688, the supremacy of Parliament was a settled principle and all future English and later British sovereigns were restricted to the role of constitutional monarchs with limited executive authority.

    1611, 1649, 1688.

    King, James I, was surely a GOD revering King.

    ---

    After about the age of fifty, James suffered increasingly from arthritis, gout and kidney stones.[156] He also lost his teeth and drank heavily.[157] The King was often seriously ill during the last year of his life, leaving him an increasingly peripheral figure, rarely able to visit London, while Buckingham consolidated his control of Charles to ensure his own future.[q] One theory is that James may have suffered from porphyria, a disease of which his descendant George III of the United Kingdom exhibited some symptoms. James described his urine to physician Théodore de Mayerne as being the "dark red colour of Alicante wine".[161] The theory is dismissed by some experts, particularly in James's case, because he had kidney stones which can lead to blood in the urine, colouring it red.[162]

    In early 1625, James was plagued by severe attacks of arthritis, gout, and fainting fits, and fell seriously ill in March with tertian ague and then suffered a stroke. He died at Theobalds House on 27 March during a violent attack of dysentery, with Buckingham at his bedside.[r]James's funeral on 7 May was a magnificent but disorderly affair.[164] Bishop John Williamsof Lincoln preached the sermon, observing, "King Solomon died in Peace, when he had lived about sixty years ... and so you know did King James". The sermon was later printed as Great Britain's Salomon [sic].[165]

    James was buried in Westminster Abbey. The position of the tomb was lost for many years until his lead coffin was found in the Henry VIIvault in the 19th century, during an excavation.

    After the Union of the Crowns, he based himself in England (the largest of the three realms) from 1603, only returning to Scotland once in 1617, and styled himself "King of Great Britain and Ireland". He was a major advocate of a single parliament for England and Scotland. In his reign, the Plantation of Ulster and British colonisation of the Americas began.

    At 57 years and 246 days, James's reign in Scotland was longer than those of any of his predecessors. He achieved most of his aims in Scotland but faced great difficulties in England, including the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 and repeated conflicts with the English Parliament. Under James, the "Golden Age" of Elizabethan literature and drama continued, with writers such as William Shakespeare, John Donne, Ben Jonson, and Sir Francis Bacon contributing to a flourishing literary culture.[1] James himself was a talented scholar, the author of works such as Daemonologie (1597), The True Law of Free Monarchies (1598 ), and Basilikon Doron (1599). He sponsored the translation of the Bible into English that would later be named after him: the Authorised King James Version.[2] Sir Anthony Weldon claimed that James had been termed "the wisest fool in Christendom", an epithet associated with his character ever since.

    An ode to James the sixth.

    'Tis rule
    to be
    A Subject
    to indiscretionaries
    when, upon the Throne,
    work is placed
    above frivolity.

    But 'tis towards GOD, The All Mighty,
    That recognisition is praised.

    To future Kings I commend
    This question again
    As each previous Ruler
    had to answer.

    Is it truer for man
    to be fed the food of swines
    for approval sakes'?
    - or is The Noble name,
    of both thee and Him
    to be kept and guarded in Truth's sake,
    The Surer way?

    Take not the damsels' cries of distress
    with verity,
    for their cries arise out of their lack
    of dutiful husbands, 'tis see?
    When while alone upon their beds
    they sew together the handkerchiefs
    and cases
    For all that pass
    whimiscally asking for love.

    But to Kings, this is not meet
    But a shameful act within the King's Kingdom, now and forever 'tis.

    Ezekiel 13:
    "17Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, 18And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?19And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

    20Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 21Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 22Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:23Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."

    Amen? Yes. Amen and Amen. In The Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.


    Romans 13:
    "3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."

    Proverbs 29:18
    "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."

    Sunday's bombing killed 16 Iranians and destroyed 200 missiles...Jeesus 200 missiles in one bombing, how many of these missiles does Iran have in Syria and wtf are they going to do with it, if not to attack Israel.

    Israel can't and obviously won't sit around and wait until Iran is fully loaded and ready to go.

    Sarcasm has a hard time breaking off the screen, huh?

    Force is to admit that "gunboat diplomacy" is the only kind of diplomacy Israel uses with every one of its neighbours. You guys do not exactly extend olive branches - you cut them off instead.
