The difference between the KJV and other modern versions is not a changing of words having the same meaning - it is changing the meaning of the words that is the problem.
You think the Amplified Bible is good?
Here is
The Amplified Bible's note on Isaiah 14:12, where they say:
Quote:
|
"'Light-bringer' or 'Shining one' was originally translated Lucifer, but because of the association of that name with Satan it is not now used. Some students feel that the application of the name Lucifer to Satan, in spite of the long and confident teaching to that effect, is erroneous. Lucifer, the light-bringer is the Latin equivalent of the Greek word Phosphoros, which is used as a title of Christ in II Peter 1:19 and corresponds to the name 'bright Morning Star' in Revelation 22:16, which Jesus called Himself."

Does it matter if your "Bible" translates Lucifer as the Morning Star in Isaiah 14:12, thereby equating the person who sought to exalt himself above God and who was subsequently cast out of Heaven with Jesus Christ, the Morning Star? And if that heresy wasn't obvious enough for us, often they also add cross-references referring to 2 Peter 1:19 and Revelation 22:16 so we wouldn't miss the point.
