Matthew 7:20, "Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them."
The
New International Version deletes
over 64,000 words including words like: Godhead,
regeneration, mercyseat, Calvary, remission, Jehovah, immutable, omnipotent,
Comforter, Holy Ghost, Messiah, quickened, infallible, et cetera. Most of the modern Bibles line up very closely
with the NIV--and so does the New World Translation--the Bible of the
Jehovah's Witnesses cult!
When you read below where I say that a verse is
COMPLETELY deleted, I mean clean/bald-headed/gone/vanished deleted. For
instance, if you search for Acts 8:37 in the NIV you will read,
36As they traveled along the road, they
came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't
I be baptized?"
38And he ordered the chariot to stop. Then both Philip and the eunuch
went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
Verse 37 is CLEAN, BALD-HEADED, GONE, VANISHED,
MY FRIENDS (and it is a powerful verse)! Some foolish people have written me
saying, "But it says something in the footnotes." I have three responses.
(1) When you are reading your Bible do you look
at the footnotes after every verse? Do you say "I am reading verse 3 so let
me look below and see if something in verse 3 is missing."? Even if you did
do that (which you don't) the footnotes say that the "best manuscripts"
don't have the verse--will you then agree with them that the verse doesn't
belong? If not, then why are you reading an NIV?
(2) Not all the word deletions are found in the
footnotes of the NIV so don't think for a second that they are letting you
know all the changes they made.
(3) The next logical step will be for the NIV
to omit the footnotes and just reorder everything. In the example above
verse 38 would become verse 37 so it wouldn't look funny. Look at the
J.B. Phillips translation--that
heretick didn't number the individual verses so you don't know what you're
missing. It's paragraph style. The NIV may go that way too. They are
desensitizing you to the changing of the very words of God. In summary,
they'll either renumber or go to that paragraph format.
Wait a minute, hold the presses! I
got the following from Bill W. one of our dear readers:
"I was in the Christian Book store today. I saw
some thing that shocked me. I look through the Bibles often. I looked at the
CHILDREN'S NIV. I looked up the missing verses and there was something I
could not believe. I looked up Matt 17:21 and of course it is missing BUT in
this Children's Bible it was typed out like this 20/21 and the 21st verse
was still missing. They make you think that you read the 21st verse but it
still is just the 20th verse! Can you believe it???!!! If you want to look
for yourself find the CHILDREN'S NIrV BIBLE, and see for yourself. I did
look in the other NIV's to see if they did the same thing. They DID NOT do
that, BUT how long before they do?????!"
They are already sneaking the deletions into the
children's Bibles! This is the second time that I've heard of those foxes
pulling one over on little helpless children. The other thing I've seen them
do is retranslate the kids' and prisoners' Bibles to make them gender neutral.
Of course those foxes didn't market them that way, they just snuck in the
gender inclusivity. See this article for
details.
Another update! I just opened the JW "Bible",
the New World Translation (1961 ed.), and looked up all the verses that the
NIV completely deletes. THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESS BIBLE DELETES THE EXACT SAME
ONES!!!! I mean ALL of 'em! The only difference between the
NIV and the New World Translation deletions is that the JW Bible does not
include any footnotes! Isn't that what I said above, that the NIV would
eventually delete the footnotes? To learn more about the Jehovah's Witnesses
and their damnable doctrines go to our article on
cults.
Our illiterate, lazy culture has spilled over to
many professing Christians who have embraced the ways of the sluggard (and
their want shall come upon them as an armed man). They are willing to read a
Satanic "Bible" version missing what God says so they can be lazy and not do
their due diligence. Your modern Bible perversion was written by men using
dynamic equivalence. In other
words, they are telling you their interpretation and their doctrine--NOT what
the manuscripts really say. Don't believe me? Look at the article on the NIV
using gender inclusive language. Gender
inclusivity wasn't in the "originals"--it is a modern, feminist concept born
of REBELLION.
A number of brothers and sisters, after examining
the facts, have said, "I'm getting a King James!" Many have shared what a
blessing the King James Bible has been to them and their spiritual life. The
King James isn't hard. I've seen one and two year olds quoting it and I am not
exaggerating. I've taught it to people who cannot read and to children whose
second language is English. I actually find the modern Bibles
more difficult to read than the King
James.
If you read a modern Bible, don't let your pride
get in the way of really looking at this information. Some people get hostile
because I'm sharing these facts. Look up the verses and see that what you call
the Bible is not the Bible. Get a real Bible. The King James conformable to
the edition of 1611--NOT the New King James or the KJ21, etc. they are not
King James Bibles.

"And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the
transgressors."
Mark 16:9-20 (all 12 verses) -- There is a
line separating the last 12 verses of Mark from the main text. Right under the
line it says: [The two most reliable early manuscripts do not have Mark
16:9-20] (NIV, 1978 ed.) The Jehovah's Witness "Bible" also places the last 12
verses of Mark as an appendix of sorts.
Luke 17:36 -- COMPLETELY removed [also
deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
Luke 22:44 -- removed in the footnotes
Luke 22:43 -- removed in the footnotes
Luke 23:17 -- COMPLETELY removed [also
deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)"
John 5:4 -- COMPLETELY removed [also

water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was
made whole of whatsoever disease he had."
John 7:53-8:11 -- removed in the footnotes
Acts 8:37 -- COMPLETELY removed [also
deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. It's deletion makes one think
that people can be baptized and saved without believing on the Lord Jesus
Christ. Sounds Catholic. What are you NIV readers missing?
"And 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."
Acts 15:34 -- COMPLETELY removed [also
deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still."

away out of our hands,"

among themselves."
Romans 16:24 -- COMPLETELY removed [also
deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
I John 5:7 -- Vitally important phrase
COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. In the
NIV it says,
"For there are three that testify:"
Compare the NIV reading with the following
Jehovah's Witness reading--
"For there are three witness bearers,"
What are you NIV readers missing? What does the
real Bible say?
"For there are three that bear record in
heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
This is one of the GREATEST verses testifying of
the Godhead. That is why the Jehovah's Witnesses leave it out. They do not
believe in the Godhead and they do not believe that Jesus is God. Why does the
NIV leave it out...? Whole books have been written on the manuscript evidence
that supports inclusion of this verse in the Bible. Reader, do you believe in
the Godhead? If so, then this deletion should offend you.
NIV Reader: Do you
have enough confidence in the NIV to...
tell God, OUT LOUD, that these verses do not belong in the Bible?
If not, you need to get a King James so you can have some confidence.
