at the source of the "desperately wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9) nature of all men.

NIV Whitewash

If New Agers use the word 'black' to describe Christians who disagree with them, it is likely that the word will disappear from any positive bible context, such as Song of Solomon 1:5,6. In the NKJV and NIV, the Hebrew word shachor stays 'black' for 'hairs' and 'horses', but not for the "Black" one whom New Agers and NIV manuscript Sinaiticus describe as "crooked" but Christ describes as "my love" and "my spouse" (Song of Solomon). The NIV whitewashes 'black* with 'pale', Roget's Thesaurus' synonym for 'white'.
