THE BLOOD IS REMOVED IN THE NEW BIBLES

It is a very important issue, for God gives a warning not to add or take away from the word, and things are being watered down more and more as bible versions are being made, the bible comparisons I did on page 1, shows that.

I thank God for ones who got saved, in seeing a truth via whatever bible, for there is enough truth that remains, but gradually it is being watered down, to were truth is being lessened, even some bibles it is hard to find homosexuality, and even the trinity, and the list goes on, so I know some will say it is not important, but according to God it is important, apostasy tends to happen gradually, many think it happens as a boogie man, so be alert, be careful, care about all the things that God cares about.
Yes, I can agree with what you have written here because the word does say as you have pointed out in the warning of the handling of God's Word. Is that the case here? One would say yes, and another no. Which I mention there is much to consider in coming to that determination without having the first autograph available to go by to compare with instead of the many manuscripts that now are used. This is why context is so important, but Holy Spirit guidance more so.

Yes, again I agree that newer versions and some that I would not call translations at all are in a sense being dumbed down, because the populace is heading in that direction. Even though there is an overabundance of knowledge available as never before to them that should provide greater comprehension/understanding. (Heavy sigh) Daniel 12:4 speaks of this and I believe the end of days draws nearer is a reflection of this occurrence happening. Yes, even to the handling of God's Precious Word.

Our fast-food society, along with the amount of data available at hand makes pensive, thoughtful consideration an anthesis to this time and age. Notice the increase of every aspect of study in the use and even the dependency of AI to give us answers. So, instead of patient consideration, it becomes a race in which we use humanities ability to compute, and what it tells us, instead of relying/depending on the Holy Spirit to enlighten us to God's purpose/exegesis happens more and more as each day passes.

There is a reason that all this is happening even as there are more believers and non-believers in Jesus then there has ever been. So, my belief in the end of days drawing nigh. Sin has not changed and will not change and somehow become good, no matter what is added or left out by man in the Word of God. No matter what is written by man, we know from the very beginning that God has ordained the separation of the light from the dark. Yet, humanity continues to refuse to believe since the fall of this and seeks to create its own paradigm contrary to what God has provided/ordained, in spite of all the warnings given to them otherwise to be so. Some believers would want to even call it to establish God's Dominion over the Earth now, as a means for them simplifying/make understandable His Word.

So, continue to cry out, presenting the differences, but how one does so when adversity comes upon one for doing so shows more than the words themselves who we belong to and represent to affect, in this dying world. Reasoning with Godly Wisdom, will make what is presented irrefutable (we hope and pray) angering many, but that is to be expected. Just present it not just as "God's Word says not to change it" but also highlighting with what it is being changed and the effect it has to what God wants us to know as of special note. Meaning we first must know what He is trying to tell us, and next what a specific change away from that is doing to deceive those in the light in an attempt to walk towards the darkness instead. You have attempted this as I can see from page 1 here. Spend a little more time fleshing out (no pun intended) the effect of leaving something out as you did with Romans 8:1. Basically the leaving out of "...walk after the Spirit" without the rest of Romans 8 does not allow for the understanding of the meaning of v8:1 as one keeps reading. That is why just selective verses without context even if correctly translated can be dangerous and lead one to eisegesis instead of exegesis.

For you will find, and I'm sure you have, that there is sincerity of the people who do these changes. A well-meaning sense for increasing understanding to a populace as I've said that has lost the ability to contemplate on something for more than 30 seconds if that! That is why explaining the exact harm to the context of the word will make a greater headway to trying to make the dumb/impatient people, smarter/patient with increase understanding and trusting our God why it is so. Necessary to understanding His purposes/will for us at all times, more so in these darkening days.

Maybe opening with the original verse that Brother DougE used of Colossians 1:14 with the excluding of "blood" would have helped make the point even better then the other differences you used in support. Like it takes away from understanding the sacrificial nature/aspect of what was needed to be considered a sacrifice between the OT law as given by God, and Jesus the Lamb of God in the Covenant of Grace forever more. :)

Anyway, no issue with you brother. Appreciate you greatly in what you are trying to do.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.
