Dude, seriously?
You're really asserting that "modern day retranslations" are a "hidden agenda", rather than a better understanding of how to translate ancient Greek and Hebrew into English (since we now have found more ancient documents than they had at the start of the 17th century, for the purpose of understanding the idioms and word usage of those writers), but that the translators of the Authorized King James Version did not?!
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
