It is terribly naive of us to buy the "cover story" that modern bible makers are just
trying to make the bible "more readable."
The DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS,
as the old saying goes.
We could be nice and say that each publisher is looking at the "bottom
line" and competing with other publishers.
Maybe we could say it is as though each is trying
to be more politically correct, and saleable, than the competition.
But truth is the Devil is
trying hard to corrupt, confuse, dumb-down, bible readers and wreak evil.
Many of the King James
Bible interest-pages, will have lists of Old Testament verses that differ too.
Clear miracles
in the King James are often handled ambiguously in the modern bibles, so you cannot exactly tell whether it is a miracle,
or just an unusual, normal occurrence.
Likewise, gender distinctions, clear in the King James,
are somewhat blurred in the modern bibles.
Likewise issues of Salvation, the hereafter, the
deity of Jesus Christ, and similar doctrinal things become less clear in the modern versions.
