Regarding the Old Testament, the foundation for all modern bible versions (which is shifting sand) is a literary work called the Septuagint, which is supposedly a B.C. (i.e. pre-Christian) translation of the Old Testament into Greek. But, if the Septuagint is actually a myth, then all new versions are false; replicas of God's word.

What is the Septuagint?

The short answer is given by Sam_Gipp

The medium answer is given by David_W._Daniels

The long answer is given by Floyd_Nolan_Jones (An exhaustive and excellent work called "The Septuagint: A Critical Analysis"; but may only be available in book form now)

Regarding the New Testament, the foundation for all modern bible versions (which is shifting sand) is molded in the form of a literary work from 1881 called the Revised Version (RV), which is supposedly an update of the Authorized Version (King James).

But, if the RV is actually based on a different Greek text (the 1881 Westcott-Hort Greek text) than the King James Bible is based on (the Received Text), then it is not a revision of the Authorized Version but is a translation of a different text.

Different seeds produce different fruit (orange seeds do not produce apple trees).

Different words produce different meanings. If the word is changed, then the meaning has been changed. Therefore, the words in modern versions and the fruit which they bear are not the pure words of God nor the good fruit that it bears.

In 1611, good seed was sown into the hearts of the common man. In 1881, the enemies of God sowed tares. (Matt 13:25)

God has allowed both to mature together, but the time of harvest is rapidly approaching wherein the wheat will be gathered into the barn (heaven) and the tares will be separated for destruction by fire (hell).
