"The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."Psalms 12:6-7
Most people think the modern versions are harmless translations. They believe the words have been made easier to understand. We are here to tell you that this is a lie! New versions omit, twist, and corrupt God's Holy Word.
Think for a moment, the very words satan spoke in Genesis 3:1 "Yea hath God said" attacks God's word. The second thing he did was change the word of God. Look at Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." The Lord says: "thou shalt surely die." Now look at what satan says in Genesis 3:4 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:" The niv translators do both of these things continually by adding and changing the word of God.
2nd Peter 1:20-21 states: "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
The translators say in the niv preface "Like all translations of the Bible, made as they are by imperfect man, this one undoubtedly falls short of it's goals" Do you hear that? The Bible is God breathed, preserved, infallible, and pure. That is unless you are reading a corrupt version like the NIV.
Here is a couple of examples of the niv twisting the word of God! First I will quote the KJB then the NIV.
Luke 13:32 KJB "And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected."
Luke 13:32 NIV "He replied, "Go tell that fox, I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal."
2nd Corinthians 2:17 KJB "For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ."
2nd Corinthians 2:17 NIV "Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God."
Listen to 2nd Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
Now I am going to quote an e-mailed response from Jerry Falwell to a viewer, who wrote in and asked about a comment he made on t.v. concerning the King James Bible. This is what Jerry said "It is obvious that someone has led you into false doctrine and a total misunderstanding of the Deity of Christ and other cardinal truths. I would urge you to get a mentor who can teach you the Bible and helpyou away from the heresy you now endorse. My prayers are with you. Jerry Falwell"
In Acts 24:14 we read "But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:"
Now look at 1 John 2:27 "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."
Here is a few more examples of the NIV'S blasphemy
Colossians 1:14 in the KJB says "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
The Niv says in Colossians 1:14 "in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Again in the KJB we read in Hebrews 1:3 "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:"
Now in the NIV Hebrews 1:3 says "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Niv chief editor Edwin Palmer says "This [his own translation] shows the great error that is so prevalent today in some Orthodox Protestant circles, namely the error that regeneration depend upon faith and that in order to be born again man must first accept Jesus as Savior"
This is a quote from John Anthony Hort on atonement "The fact is I don't see how God's justice can be satisfied without every man's suffering in his own person the full penalty for his sins"
Now lets look at the NASB in Luke 24:51 "And it came about that while He was blessing them, He parted from them."
In Acts 8:37 of the KJB "...Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." Also in Matthew 18:11 of the KJB it states "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."
Now lets look at 1st John 4:3 in the KJB "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
Now look at 1st John 4:3in the NIV "but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
Deuteronomy 32:6 of the KJB says: "Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?"
Now lets look at Deuteronomy 32:6 of the NIV: "Is this the way you repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?"
Lets look at Peter 2:2 "And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of." Thats what these bible tranlators do, they speak evil of the truth!
Look at what the NIV does to this verse in Romans 13:9 "The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," ] and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: Love your neighbor as yourself."
1st Corinthians 1:21 of the KJB reads: "For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
1st Corinthians 1:21 of the NIV reads: "For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe."
Here is just a small comparison study of the New Testament in the NIV it remove Christ 35 times, Jesus 41 times, Lord 35 times and in the Old testament truth is removed that we have counted 55 times.
The Niv translators even go as far as giving Christ our Lord and Savior generic names Like in John 6:69 of the King James Bible it states "And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."
The Niv in John 6:69 changes this to "We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
J.B Phillips said "The bible is not particularly inspired by God. I should like to make it quite clear that I could not possibly hold the extreme `Fundamentalist` position of so-called `verbal inspiration" He also states "I felt bound to abandon the God-directed-every-word-from cover-to cover attitude." Here is also a comment in a letter from Westcott to Hort and he says "I reject infallibility of the Holy Scripture overwhelming."
Now look at this one. Luke 4:4 in the KJB says: "And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
Now the NIV in Luke 4:4 states: "Jesus answered, "It is written: `Man does not live on bread alone."
Here is one more in 1st Peter 2:2 of the KJB it says "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:"
The NIV says this in 1st Peter 2:2 "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,"
