My Bible of choice............Let’s hope the update doesn’t change “Adam & Eve” to “Adam & Steve.”
Then God said to Noah “Yo! Round up two of every critter in yo hood cuz I’m gonna make it rain!”
The Bible of choice for conservative Christians is the KJV. No one should hold a copyright on God’s work.
Wrong, NIV is a big seller, but not the choice of conservative Bible believers. It distorts God's word and changes the doctrine. Also known as Satan's translation.
They’ve already blown this once with the NIVr (I beleive is the name.) Basicly a pc version of the Bible.
"Thou shalt not steal, unless thou art up for re-election"
"Thou shall have no other gods above the State"

I’ve contrasted some passages of the NIV with the KJ or even the NKJ, and although the old style English is difficult, the meaning seems quite a bit different in some cases. Since KJ preceded the NIV, I interpret that to mean the KJ is more accurate. Besides, I still like the KJ just because it uses “Sodomite”. That’s clear and unambiguous to me.
INSTRUCTIONS: Using the New International Version Bible, answer the following questions. Do not rely on your memory. As the Bible is the final authority, you must take the answer from the Bible verse (not from footnotes but from the text).
1. Fill in the missing words in Matthew 5:44. “Love your enemies, ________ them that curse you, ____ _____ to them that hate you, and pray for them that _______ ________ ________ and persecute you.”
2. According to Matthew 17:21, what two things are required to cast out this type of demon?
3. According to Matthew 18:11, why did Jesus come to earth?
4. According to Matthew 27:2, what was Pilate’s first name?
5. In Matthew 27:35, when the wicked soldiers parted His garments, they were fulfilling the words of the prophet. Copy what the prophet said in Matthew 27:35 from the NIV.
6. In Mark 3:15, Jesus gave the apostles power to cast out demons and to:
7. According to Mark 7:16, what does a man need to be able to hear?

9. In Luke 9:55, what did the disciples not know?
10. In Luke 9:56, what did the Son of man not come to do? And, what did He come to do?
11. In Luke 22:14, how many apostles were with Jesus?
12. According to Luke 23:38, in what three languages was the superscription written?
13. In Luke 24:42, what did they give Jesus to eat with His fish?
14. John 3:13 is a very important verse, proving the deity of Christ. As Jesus spoke, where was the Son of man?
15. What happened each year as told in John 5:4?
16. In John 7:50, what time of day did Nicodemus come to Jesus?
17. In Acts 8:37, what is the one requirement for baptism?
18. What did Saul ask Jesus in Acts 9:6?
19. Write the name of the man mentioned in Acts 15:34.
20. Study Acts 24:6-8. What would the Jew have done with Paul? What did the chief captain command?
21. Copy Romans 16:24 word for word from the NIV.
22. First Timothy 3:16 is perhaps the greatest verse in the New Testament concerning the deity of Christ. In this verse, who was manifested in the flesh?
23. In the second part of First Peter 4:14, how do [they] speak of Christ? And, what do Christians do?
24. Who are the three Persons of the Trinity in First John 5:7?
25. Revelation 1:11 is another very important verse that proves the deity of Christ. In this verse Jesus said, “I am the A__________ and O___________, the _________ and the _______:”
Not that its my denomination, but I thought the King James Version was the most widely sold Bible.
My Bible of choice............How will they know it’s accurate?
Round-filing the TNIV is a good thing.
I thought conservatives evangelicals were more NKJV. And just plain old fashioned conservatives were KJV. Then there are the orthodox conservatives who start with the KJV and then supplement with Strong’s Greek and Hebrew translations.

I will Keep my KING JAMES thank you very much.
Will it be the New new International Version.
If the King James was good enough for Paul and Silas it’s good enough for me.
Jesus referred to God as his FATHER. End of debate.
It would be fascinating to see how the translation committee members voted in the elections!
