No, in fact, the more modern translations are the very worst: they
translate translations not only textual to today's standards, but
change actual events to meet your 3rd millennium perception.
By this, do you mean the NIV, for example?
No idea what NIV is. (Remember, I'm not American.)
LOL! I find that humorous, since the NIV stands for 'The New International
Version'. I'm not from the United States either, but the NIV is so
popular, I just thought more people had heard of it. (Maybe it's called
something different in the Netherlands?)
But as for the rest, I understand what you mean.

I call it the New and Improved Version. It was when some people got together
for a bible revision and said "We can't put THAT in there..."
