No, this is not an actual comparison between Bible versions. It is a comparison between New Age Philosophy and 'modern' Bible translations.
Go to your local 'New Age' book section at your local library, and compare the 'language' philosophy with later modern Bible versions like the NIV, specifically in The New Testament.
Later Bible versions used a different set of Greek manuscripts for their New Testament translation. There is... a conspiracy against God's printed Word that has been going on. One of the major proofs is with the personal letters of two Bible scholars from Great Britain that lived in the 19th century, Wescott and Hort:
Wescott And Hort — The Overthrow of the Greek Text
Most all of the modern New Testament Bible version use their Greek text revision which they also relied on the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Alexandrinus Greek texts which the KJV version DID NOT use. The Alexandria manuscripts are claimed to be older than the Textus Receptus for the KJV Bible. By that claim they the textual critic says to rely on the Alexandrian text, even though it omits much of the New Testament Scripture that the KJV contains.
Most Christian brethren are not aware of the 2nd century Christian School at Alexandria, Egypt. Its most noted protagonists were Origen (the father of textual criticism), and Clement of Alexandria. Origen was eventually declared a heretic because of how he tried to change the reading of New Testament Scripture more towards a type of New Age, Hellenist-Platonist Greek philosophy. Many allegories replaced the obvious literal meanings of New Testament Scripture in their writings. This is where the tendency to 'spiritualize' The Scriptures originates. The School at Alexandria, Egypt was surrounded by pagan philosophy, and their writings reveal that early influence.
Gnosticism was a belief system that grew out of Plato's Greek philosophy. Saint Irenaeus of Lyons wrote about their heresy, and how they had flourished in the Roman empire. Modern ideas of Gnosticism can be seen in movies like The Da Vinci Code. The early 1st and 2nd century Gnostics claimed to be Christians, yet one of their false doctrines was that Jesus did not really die on the cross, but that His disciples took Him down before He died, and that He later married and had children; thus The Da Vinci Code theme at the end proclaiming a bloodline of Christ, thinking the power to do miracles that Jesus did would transfer through His bloodine.
If you are not aware of the New Age movement, and its roots and history, then it means you have missed much that is written in Old Testament history per God's Word. The movement is very ancient, going back to the Baal worship of old Sumer-Babylon, which then continued to ancient Egypt, the Far East, pagan Greece, pagan Rome, etc. This philosophy still exists today, which it should be easy to see with movies like The Da Vinci Code which is based on occult books like Holy Blood, Holy Grail.
That was the connection in 1st and 2nd century Alexandria, Egypt also with the Christian school there. It was subjected to that ancient occult philosophy of the Greek philosophers (Neoplatonists) and Gnostics. That is where the Codex Alexandrinus originated, and has been used in most all modern New Testament Bible versions.
