Every modern version contains mistranslations, including the King James Version. Here's a list of a few of them:
Gospel - correctly translated as "good news" from the Greek.
Church – “assembly”.
Apostle– “sent one”, such as Paul and Peter the “sent ones”. Paul calls other people “sent ones” besides the twelve, including at least one woman.
Deacon - "servant".
Bishop - "overseer” or “elder".
Pastor– "shepherd". Shepherds did not preach sermons and were not a leader.
Word (in John 1:1) – correctly translated as “logos”. Logos means ultimate truth and wisdom; universal and beyond view or God's view, as opposed to human understanding; creative mind; Creator. Logos did not mean “word” to the Greeks, as modern bibles mistranslate the entire idea and meaning.
Epistle -"letter".
Doctrine -"teaching".
Homosexual - correctly translated as “homosexual sex”, referring to the act, not the person. God is not against people. Rather, God is against what people often do, including fornication, adultery and homosexual sex; all three listed together in I Corinthians 6:9. “For God did not send his son into the world to condemn people, but that people through him might be saved.”
Disciple – "follower"/"student".
Angel – “messenger”
Minister–“servant” – Ministry - “service”
Preach-"proclaim" – anyone can proclaim the good news of Jesus; no religious cemetery degree either needed, required or desired. However, one should be very careful regarding anything in the Bible, that they understand and teach others correctly.
Saint-a saint is someone who has been made holy by being washed by the blood of Jesus. No pope or other human being can make anyone a saint. Only Jesus can make someone a saint. And we cannot make ourselves a saint by doing good works or refraining from certain things. Only through forgiveness from Jesus can someone become a saint.
These mistranslations are used to turn Jesus into a religion, which is not the intention of the New Testament; Jesus is deliberately secular, eating, drinking and associating with sinners and the common people, while railing against the religionists of his time. The New Testament is written in secular Koine Greek, the language of the common people. True religion is defined in James I:27.
Be not deceived, Jesus did not come to earth to establish a religion called Christianity. He came to earth to save us sinners, to set us free, to give us life abundantly and to establish his assembly, which consists of his people. “This is the work of God, that you believe in him who he sent.”
