The New International Version, the Bible of choice for conservative evangelicals

First off, I do not know any conservative evangelicals who consider the NIV as good translation.

Like myself, most conservatives use the New American Standard Bible, or the New King James Version. But the NIV has been put on the back shelf with other questionable translations as will be thieir newest heretical version of the Scriptures.

NASB has been helpful in recent years by tossing out the obsolescent “thees” and “thous” forms and by clarifying a number of terms. (E.g. the coy “immorality” is now “sexual immorality” when it corresponds to the Greek “porneia.”)

Well you do now. Allow me to introduce myself...

Why do you say it’s heretical?

[Vanders9]

I do. The NIV was indeed the translation of choice for evangelicals - twenty years back.

Calling it “questionable” is suspect. Implying it is heretical slanders the translators and the scholars who labored on it.

Don’t forget the English Standard Version, which is considered to be the closest to the Geneva Bible.

We prefer to use the CSB, (Christian Standard Bible), but we also have KJV & NKJV copies.
