Yes, change the meaning of the word "hate". Now everything is ok, the KJV is the unaltered word of God....well as long as we can alter it.

Absolutely! Thanks for not wrestling the scriptures.

Yes, I don't see much wrestling going on, just a quick and simple change seems to suffice.

I have a different view, than to believe that men can translate from imperfect manuscript's,and produce a perfect inerrant canon. I believe that God has preserved revelation in the scriptures, not in perfect word for word precision. But rather embedded in the scriptures is the revelation of God for those whose hearts are turned to God, and seek Him. He is "hidden" in the scriptures, and in His creation, and He is found of those who desire to know Him as He really is, not just as religion declares Him.
