Affected Teaching
By removing the words “should not perish” there is a denial of the literalness of Hell.  Eternal damnation for sin has long been held by liberals and apostates as a false teaching.  This is why it is not surprising that both the second century Gnostics of Alexandria, Egypt and the modern day theologians have both agreed that this true biblical doctrine must go.  The idea of accountability, with consequences, to a Holy God has been anathematized over the centuries and in our day of great “enlightenment” through intellectualism, culpability has been excised.  With many apostates in the pulpits and the Christians afraid to ask questions or to question the validity of these versions, creates a perfect environment for deception.  The modern versions are sources for disbelief, doubt, and doctrinal attacks and must be avoided at all costs.
