Something came to mind awhile ago. Could there be jittery-pokery going on with multiple versions? (Silly question.) Even this file-clerk (who's just grateful to have a job that pays decent :) knows most bibles are ... uhm, questionable, at best. Comparing such and such verse with this and bible, NO! they don't say the same thing. But they can't, because if you want a copywrite, your version has to be significantly different than the others. Have noticed, yep, there ARE differences, even between the regular King James Bible, and the New King James bible.
Also, isn't it odd, that - while a few new versions came out between the late 1800s and the early 1900s - back in the early 60s, here in America, if you picked up a Bible, it was most likely a regular King James. If you went to a fundie church ... oh wait a sec, alot - if not most of - the protestant churches were fundie; back then, expect the sermon to last an hour with lots of Scripture.
Then, in the 1980s, the new editions of the new editions started rolling out. So, that new edition, you bought back in 92, it's been revised - cough up $21.95, jack.
But anyway, back to topic. Do i have proof that evangelical Bible-bashers have at hand multiple versions for which they use to confuse - in hopes of getting the fundies to ditch Jesus Christ? Nope! And frankly, have alot better things to do than sift through long-winded web-posts, and pour over significantly different versions (which give me the willies, anyway. But one thing i know, any bible will atleast describe to the reader of the different behaviors of redeemed in Christ and that of people who reject Him.
In short, there are people, who are so self-important, they'll spend lots of time (lay awake at night) and do some really amazing brain work to deceive (lie) in promoting their agenda.
"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there alittle:" Isaiah 28:10
And yeah, this file-clerk had to google.
