LarryN,
...I appreciate all your efforts in your post, and there are no doubt many instances where the changes make no difference at all, there are some quite obvious things to me, that the words and/or wording usages fall in line with New Age jargon, such as "the Christ" rather than "Christ, etc....
Michelle, are you still trying to establish this tired, old, beyond dubious linkage between MVs and the New Age?
When you accused the phrase "the Christ" in MVs of being a new-ageism, I provided you with nineteen examples of "the Christ" appearing in the KJV. In case you missed them, here they are again:
Mt 16:16 -
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mt 16:20 -
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Mt 26:63 -
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Mr 8:29 -
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
Mr 14:61 -
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Lu 3:15 -
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
Lu 9:20 -
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Lu 22:67 -
Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
Joh 1:20 -
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
Joh 1:41 -
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
Joh 3:28 -
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Joh 4:29 -
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Joh 4:42 -
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Joh 7:41 -
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
Joh 10:24 -
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
Joh 11:27 -
She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Joh 20:31 -
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
1Jo 2:22 -
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jo 5:1 -
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

Your other "samples" of new-ageisms in MVs are equally dubious.
