I've tried it. KJV passes the test, Geneva Bible passes the test. NIV fails the test.

I think that used to be the case, I think now that definitions have been come like genders and now people are like "I do not like that definition, so I will make up my own".

Thank you for clarifying. God bless. 

What good does it do God's people to project in such ways? Does this glorify our Savior? 

They kept the Bible from the masses because they knew that the word of God exposed them for the heretics that they were. If you were absolutely sure that your interpretation of the Bible was correct then you would have no hesitation in letting others read scripture, but they knew deep down that Catholicism had been built on a lie and scripture exposed that lie. Roman Catholicism came about as a form of controlled opposition. Rome had tried for centuries to destroy Christianity but to no avail. It had tried lots of different methods ranging from 'good cop' to 'bad cop'. It had persecuted Christians on and off for nearly three centuries. Then it finally decided, if you can't beat them join them..... if you control Christianity then you control Christians. Once Rome established itself as the official church, it outlawed all other churches and quickly introduced Pagan elements. The Romans were polytheists. They had a different god for different things - Mars, Jupiter, Apollo and so on... a god of war, a god of love, a god of the Sun, a god for partying. They didn't want to lose these traditions so they introduced the idea of sainthood, a different saint for each circumstance. A patron saint of this... a patron saint of that... a saint for blacksmiths, a saint for travellers. It's all the same thing just under different names. The idea of partnering Jesus with Mary dates back to the partnering of Osiris and Isis. Its the same Pagan legend recycled over and over again and it's demonic in origin. The false gods are always the same wherever you go but with different names. Whether its the Viking gods or the Greek gods there's always a king of the gods, a god of war and so on..... To the Vikings they were Odin and Thor, to the Greeks they were Zeus and Ares, to the Romans Jupiter and Mars. The leader or king of the gods is always Lucifer, the great deceiver who loves to disguise himself under different names. To the Aztecs he is known as Quetzlcoatl or the serpent god (derived from the serpent in the garden of Eden). Rome had to be very careful and had to change the Pagan structure slightly so it adopted Biblical themes as a mask for its deception. It also had to an adopt a fake reason for its authority by claiming that the apostle Peter was the founder despite Peter having died over two centuries before. The reason for Peter being the choice was because Jesus had told Peter that he was the rock on which his church would be built. The reason that Catholics are told that salvation also comes from Mary as well as Jesus is a Satanic deception to make people pray to someone else other than Jesus, which of course is a threat to one's salvation. Of course Catholics are not specifically told to pray to Mary instead of Jesus, but they are told that Mary is a mediator between man and Jesus which is a complete blasphemy and completely in contradiction to 1st Timothy 2:5. Mary was a righteous woman but a sinner like the rest of us. She has no power over a person's salvation. Any manifestations or apparitions of Mary such as the miracles of Fatima and Lourdes are demonic in origin. They are merely a ploy to lure Catholics into further idolatry. Over the years Rome stamped down any opposition to its rule, and it did so brutally. Heretics were burned at the stake and Bibles were forbidden to all but Roman clergy. Then the Church split into two with the Great Schism which saw the Western Roman Church separating from the Eastern Orthodox Church, which also makes more of a mockery of Rome claiming to be the original one-and-only Church. Who is the original Church now? Is it Rome or is it Constantinople? Popes have always declared themselves to be the representative of Jesus on Earth with some even claiming to be God himself, another blasphemy. The Pope holdeth place on Earth, not simply of a man, but of the true god   Pope Innocent III I am in all, and above all, so that God himself, and I, the vicar of God, hath both one consistory and I am able to do almost all that God can do Pope Nicholas V I alone am the successor of the apostles, the vicar of Jesus Christ, I am the way, the truth and the life Pope Pius IX Rome will even declare that Protestants have no authority because Protestantism has different denominations so they can't be the true Church because how can the word of God be divided? But what Catholics don't realise is that they too are part of a denomination. Rome was not the first Church, the early Church were the martyrs who were murdered by Rome, and the Catholic Church has been split since the Great Schism, so it too consists of denominations - Rome and Eastern Orthodox. Catholicism has absolutely no claim whatsoever to be the true Church, the only viable claim it has is to being one of the first counterfeits of the true Church. Catholics would do well to leave Rome - they would be doing themselves a favour by coming to Christ as born-again worshippers. Catholics are decent lovely people but Rome has been deceiving them. They need to get out. And I heard another voice from heaven say,Go out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: Revelation 18:4 (GNV)
