Caution! Caution! Caution! Caution!
It's worse than I even imagined when I first wrote this "Bible Students Beware" study. I
have just discovered that, in addition to Acts 8:37, there are sixteen
other verses which have been left out of the "New International
Version" bible. I didn't believe it at first: But I checked them all
out. They have indeed not included them in their version of the bible.
The other sixteen missing verses are:
Matthew 17:21;18:11; 23:14; Mark 7:16; 9:44,46; 11:26; 15:28; Luke
17:36; 23:17; John 5:4; Acts 15:34; 24:7; 28:29; Romans 16:24; & 1
John 5:7. These verses deal with doctrines of great importance: like
the Trinity, hell, salvation, and prayer. Other passages remain in the
NIV but the marginal notes discredit them. These notes reveal that the
NIV translators would have preferred to leave them out Mark 16:9-20 and
John 7:53-8:11. That's an additional 24 verses, but, I suppose they couldn't leave
out 24 verses in just 2 passages of scripture with out it being noticed!
There are also words that have disappeared from the NIV.
Biblically significant words like "Godhead", "Jehovah", or "blessed and
only potentate", "Holy Ghost", "Comforter". God is no longer "immutable" or "omnipotent" in the NIV.
Christ
is no longer the "only begotten." We no longer need to worry about
"devils" or "Lucifer" or "brimestone" or the "bottomless pit." The KJB
mentions Hell 54 times but the NIV only 14 times. There are no
sodomites in the NIV either.
How convenient for Satan!
Even
"Calvary" is missing. Did you get that? No "Calvery", and no
"regeneration." Therefore, it follows that the word of God is no
longer"incorruptible."
This has happened in all of those, And I
quote "NEWER, EASIER TO READ TRANSLATIONS" including the New Revised
Version", The New King James Version, and although I did not find it
quite as bad "The Living Bible." The "Living Bible" does have other
problems though.There are also words that have disappeared from the NIV.
Biblically significant words like "Godhead", "Jehovah", or "blessed and
only potentate", "Holy Ghost", "Comforter". God is no longer "immutable" or "omnipotent" in the NIV.
