      No. That god you talk about is what's small. Can't even provide a translation for the people? No. God's thoughts are higher than any of our futile minds.

    I have to apologize for my comments. I also prayed to God asking for forgiveness I was having a bad day and responded in a bad way. The bible translations are hard work not easy. I should have just stated my opinion on the niv is that I think it is a little to loose compared to other translations.
    I do love the KJV but have been reading the nasb and the csb and have found them to be closer together . Either way Gods word is not something we should make lite of even if it is not something I do not agree with his word is in there. I will be spending more time in niv. I prayed over this last night and asked our heavenly father to please guide me on this and I was shown in my dream the niv bible. I will be going into it and give it a better chance and with a open mind to get some clarity on this. Thanks

      So you are not a Son of the One true God as your bible says Jesus is Gods one and Only Son..Instead of his only begotten Son.. That is so sad..and so wrong. Just remember this when Lucifer tried to trick Jesus ...Jesus answered him three times ...It is written... because Jesus knew that Gods word was truth and powerful.. If you want to save a child who suffering you may fast and pray for him,, as some demons (sickness) only come out by fasting and pray..One of the greatest weapons we were given.. well not you because they took that out of your book.. It is not written..

    Vaticanus and Sainaticus have hundreds of overt errors within them.
    Most errors of the bible are ommissions.
    Although I acknowledge when Jesus cautioned people about anger, it was some later scribe that added "without a cause."
    So I don't think KJV is perfect.
    But I think its the best out there. Retaining ecclesiastical terms like Bishop and translating Zachariah 13:16 according to what the Hebrew said. Which is "hands."
    The other versions frustratingly only put what the Hebrew said in a footnote.

    The NIV is a translation from Satan, missing over 55,000 words, 40 mentions of hell reduced to around 16, 2 Samuel 21 towards end references to slaying of Goliath brother in KJV by someone other than David changed to Goliath by someone other than David which makes a contradiction by omitting that the word brother. NIV translation belongs only in the garbage.

    The Niv was written because someone believed the king has a greater authority then the Chief Priest.

      @@SharonBalloch Umm... The Dead Sea Scrolls only contain portions of the Old Testament Hebrew Bible canon, since since some date to as early as 300 BCE.
      If you had actually read what I posted you would have seen most of the disputed verses are in the New Testament.
      Newer translations don't "delete" verses. The KJV was simply based on a handful of Byzantine era manuscripts that had 1,400 years of accumulated copy errors and added scribal emanations.
      Since 1611 there have been over 5,500 older manuscripts found. Some of which date to within a few years of the original writers. Scholars now use what is called the Critical Text, (A text assembled using *all* extant manuscripts), to assemble a New Testament Greek text that is said to be 99+% accurate to the original autographs. New translations simply use this text as a base for their New Testaments.
