There are many KJV vs NIV comparisons online, just look at them and see the scriptures that are completely left out along with many changes to doctrine. I printed a 22 page article fron the internet a couple of weeks ago, and that only covered the New Testiment.
This begs the question by assuming that the KJV translation is correct and the NIV is incorrect. Did the thought even occur to you that the NIV may be correct and the KJV may be the one "changing doctrine"?
Back when, at Terri Shiavo’s hospice facility as we were all praying and protesting the death doktors, there was this one guy with a bull horn. He paraded himself up and down the street, screeching to everyone everywhere about how everyone there was going to hell, except him of course, because we didn’t read the KJV. According to him, we were all followers of satan because we didn’t read his personal version.
He did an excellent job of dividing the sheep, misrepresenting the Body of Christ to the watching media (who were obviously looking for a freak like him to paint everyone wiht the same brush)much as a wolf would have, and generally falsely accusing the sheep of following satan.
Your post reminded me of that guy.
I would not want to be that guy.
Jesus said some pretty hefty things to legalists who would stumble God’s children from God’s grace through their legalistic demands.
...something about those leagistic converts being twice the son’s of hell that the pharisees were. ouch!
just saying
The bible should be in the language of the people.
We speak American. The NIV is in the American language.
BTW, the word “men” often should be translated as “people.”
