Certainly not a good thing!
Of the widely used ‘translations,’ The NIV group is the least reliable, and the most deeply and deliberately corrupted.
As Rooster was once told: "Mighty bold talk from a one-eyed fat man."
I'd like to see the evidence you've used to make this accusatory statement.
On this, I agree with you completely. When I mentioned Dr. Paine and his commitment to the NIV concept, it was not with approval. In fact, again let me again recommend the two books I mentioned on that post. Salliby compares NIV with KJV head-to-head, and shows just how compromised the NIV is.
