In this section these versions “is he” is changed to “is that.”  When the modern versions replace “he” with “that” they are taking away from the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ came down from Heaven.  It sounds like actual bread came down instead of a person.  John 6:35 (KJV)   And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.  We read that Jesus states He is the Bread from Heaven that blesses the whole earth.  So the words “is he” is fulfilled in verse 35.

 

In the section below you will notice they all use the term “the one” which is not found in the Greek text.  The term “the one” is a New Age term which their followers use to describe “Maitreya” which is “the world teacher” who would unify the entire world.  These versions below are all set to receive their false Messiah. Here is a quote from the Encyclopedia of Mysticism and Mystery Religions Page 136:

 

“One: Term for the ultimate…in many mystical religions and philosophies.”

 

Below is a quote from Madame Blavatsky found in “Secret Doctrine, Volume 1, Page 40.”

 

The dismissal of “he” and “Son” for “The One” in New Age versions makes them copies of the Occult Catechism which reads:

 

“Question: What is it that ever is?

Answer: “The One is…the Father and the Mother”

 

“The root idea of the New Age is oneness, unity, and wholeness-the One for all.” From "Unmasking the New Age" Page 115 by Douglas Groothius
