(Ed. These are all missing in the NIV.) So now what do you think of your "accurate, easy to understand, up to date Bible"?

It is actually advertised as the "inerrant word of God" in Niagara Frontier Bible Church's "welcome pamphlet," of Lewiston, NY, the church to which Debbie Prohaska goes, she who "studied about the bible versions!"

The New International Version first came out in 1973.

Then it was "revised" in 1978.

Then it was revised AGAIN in 1984!

Then, I believe, AGAIN, in 2001.

Calling it revised got old, so in 2005 they called it the Today's New International Version!

AWESOME, ISN'T IT?

In its "A Word to the Reader," it assures the reader:

"There is a sense in which the work of translating the bible is never finished This very fact has prompted the committee to engage in an ongoing review of the text of the NIV with the assistance of many other scholars. The chief goal of this review has always been to bring the text of the NIV abreast of contemporary biblical scholarship and of shifts of English idiom and usage. Already in 1978 and again in 1984 various corrections and revisions to the NIV text were made. In the TNIV the committee offers to the reading public the latest fruits of its review."


We all know that in the NIV Matthew 17:21 is omitted but found in the footnotes of the NIV, but, in the TNIV Matthew 17:21 is nowhere to be found!!

It goes on to state:

"Mark 16:9-20 and John 7:53, 8:11, although long accorded virtually equal status with the rest of the gospels in which they stand, have a very questionable-and confused-standing in the textual history of the NT as noted in the bracketed annotations in which they are set up.

"The Committee has again been reminded that every human effort is flawed-including this revision of the NIV. We trust, however, that many will find in it an improved representation of the word of God, through which they fear his call to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and service in his kingdom."

And it has promised a NEW edition next year, which is to be GENDER NEUTRAL!!

If you would like to improve your score, and in fact score 100%, you can take this test using the Authorized (King James) Bible, which has been and IS the INERRANT WORD OF GOD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, which has NEVER been "revised," nor ever will be!! The King James Bible is free of errors, omissions, and additions as an irrefutable matter of historical fact!

There are three changes to the KJV since 1611.


1. 1612: Typography (from Gothic to Roman type).
2. 1629 & 1638: Correction of typographical errors.
3. 1762 & 1769: Standardization of spelling.


The 'Board of Managers' of the American Bible Society in 1852 determined that

"The English Bible as left by the translators has come down to us unaltered in respect to its text.

"With the exception of typographical errors and changes required by the process of orthography [spelling] in the English language, the text of our present Bibles remains unchanged, and without variations from the original copy as left by the translators." (Report of the Committee on Versions to the Board of Managers of the American Bible Society, 1852, pp. 7,11 as cited by George T. Crabb)

THE KING JAMES BIBLE IS PERFECT!

IT IS THE PRESERVED WORD OF GOD
OF WHICH HE HAS ASSURED US IN HIS WORD!!

"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" (Psalm 12:6-7)

It will celebrate its 400th anniversary next year!!

It was "THE BOOK" of your grandparents!

It's produced more fruit than any other Bible in history!
