If the words completely and totally change the meaning, its important. While this isn't like a hot=cold blatantly misleading, the difference is "God created Evil (the opposition to Good came from God)" and God created evil (the stuff we don't like that people deal with during they're lives). My God is responsible for mental illness, for hurricanes, for pain and suffering of all kinds. All my God. And those things are not good. "Creates evil" can be really misleading, especially for today's English because...

@Joel

... the kings English was really romanticized and decorated to make the brand new English translation look better than the Latin. The people of the 16th century didn't speak middle English, but they imitated it anyway when translating. They were not concerned with philosophical implications nor holding to the meaning of the text. They got the gist of it, wrote it down, and bedazzled the thing. So, what I'm trying to say here is...

DON'T EVER EVER EVER USE KJV!!!

It's garbage. Total garbage. If you want something decent and is easy to read, NIV 1984 is great (the 2011 has a lot of gender neutral stuff that isn't as accurate, but is also good). I use ESV, but the text is choppier.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
