The problem with
"modernizing" or "changing" the Word of God is that it takes away from
the original meaning what the Bible writers were trying to convey. Always remember this:
"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." II Peter 1:21.
