When you read below where I say that a verse is COMPLETELY deleted, I mean clean/bald-headed/gone/vanished deleted. For instance, if you search for Acts 8:37 in the NIV you will read,
36As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"
38And he ordered the chariot to stop. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
Verse 37 is CLEAN, BALD-HEADED, GONE, VANISHED, MY FRIENDS (and it is a powerful verse)! Some foolish people have written me saying, "But it says something in the footnotes." I have three responses. (1) When you are reading your Bible do you look at the footnotes after every verse? Do you say "I am reading verse 3 so let me look below and see if something in verse 3 is missing."? Even if you did do that (which you don't) the footnotes say that the "best manuscripts" don't have the verse--will you then agree with them that the verse doesn't belong? If not, then why are you reading an NIV? [Note: Not everyone believes that those "older" manuscripts are authentic.] (2) Not all the word deletions are found in the footnotes of the NIV so don't think for a second that they are letting you know all the changes they made. (3) The next logical step will be for the NIV to omit the footnotes and just reorder everthing. In the example above verse 38 would become verse 37 so it wouldn't look funny. Look at the J.B. Phillips translation--that heretick didn't number the individual verses so you don't know what you're missing. It's paragraph style. The NIV may go that way too. They are desensitizing you to the changing of the very words of God. In summary, they'll either renumber or go to that paragraph format. Wait a minute, hold the presses! I got the following from Bill W. one of our dear readers:
"I was in the Christian Book store today. I saw some
thing that shocked me. I look through the Bibles often. I looked at the
CHILDREN'S NIV. I looked up the missing verses and there was something I
could not believe. I looked up Matt 17:21 and of course it is missing
BUT in this Children's Bible it was typed out like this 20/21 and the
21st verse was still missing. They make you think that you read the 21st
verse but it still is just the 20th verse! Can you believe it???!!! If
you want to look for yourself find the CHILDREN'S NIrV BIBLE, and see
for yourself. I did look in the other NIV's to see if they did the same
thing. They DID NOT do that, BUT how long before they do?????!"
They are already sneaking the deletions into the children's Bibles! This is the second time that I've heard of those foxes pulling one over on little helpless children. The other thing I've seen them do is retranslate the kids' and prisoners' Bibles to make them gender neutral. Of course those foxes didn't market them that way, they just snuck in the gender inclusivity. See this article for details. [<--THIS IS AN OLDER ARTICLE. MORE RECENT INFORMATION FOLLOWS IN THIS ARTICLE YOU ARE NOW READING.]
Another update! I just opened the JW "Bible", the New World Translation (1961 ed.), and looked up all the verses that the NIV completely deletes. THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESS BIBLE DELETES THE EXACT SAME ONES!!!! I mean ALL of them! The only difference between the NIV and the New World Translation deletions is that the JW Bible does not include any footnotes! Isn't that what I said above, that the NIV would eventually delete the footnotes? To learn more about the Jehovah's Witnesses and their damnable doctrines go to our article on cults.
Our illiterate, lazy culture has spilled over to many professing Christians who have embraced the ways of the sluggard (and their want shall come upon them as an armed man). They are willing to read a Satanic "Bible" version missing what God says so they can be lazy and not do their due diligence. Your modern Bible perversion was written by men using dynamic equivalence. In other words, they are telling you their interpretation and their doctrine--NOT what the manuscripts really say. Don't believe me? Look at the article on the NIV using gender inclusive language. Gender inclusivity wasn't in the "originals"--it is a modern, feminist concept born of REBELLION.
A number of brothers and sisters, after examining the facts, have said, "I'm getting a King James!" Many have shared what a blessing the King James Bible has been to them and their spiritual life. The King James isn't hard. I've seen one and two year olds quoting it and I am not exaggerating. I've taught it to people who cannot read and to children whose second language is English. I actually find the modern Bibles more difficult to read than the King James.
If you read a modern Bible, don't let your pride get in the way of really looking at this information. Some people get hostile because I'm sharing these facts. Look up the verses and see that what you call the Bible is not the Bible. Get a real Bible. The King James conformable to the edition of 1611--NOT the New King James or the KJ21, etc. they are not King James Bibles.

Mark 16:9-20 (all 12 verses) -- There is a line separating the last 12 verses of Mark from the main text. Right under the line it says: [The two most reliable early manuscripts do not have Mark 16:9-20] (NIV, 1978 ed.) The Jehovah's Witness "Bible" also places the last 12 verses of Mark as an appendix of sorts.
Luke 17:36 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing?
"Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other

Acts 8:37 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. It's deletion makes one think that people can be baptized and saved without believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Sounds Catholic. What are you NIV readers missing?

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
I John 5:7 -- Vitally important phrase COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. In the NIV it says,
"For there are three that testify:"
Compare the NIV reading with the following Jehovah's Witness reading--
"For there are three witness bearers,"
What are you NIV readers missing? What does the real Bible say?
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
This is one of the GREATEST verses testifying of the trinity. The Jehovah's Witnesses leave it out. They do not believe in the trinity and they do not believe that Jesus is God. Why does the NIV leave it out...? Whole books have been written on the manuscript evidence that supports inclusion of this verse in the Bible. Reader, do you believe in the triunity of God? If so, then this deletion should offend you. People are wresting and perverting the scriptures to their own destruction.
NIV Reader: Do you have enough confidence in the NIV to...
tell God, OUT LOUD, that these verses do not belong in the Bible?
If not, you need to get an Authorized King James Bible so that you can have some confidence.
Exerpt from "THE AUTHORIZED VERSION OF THE WORD OF GOD:
THE PRECEPTS OF A MIGHTY NATION"
There is only one Authorized Version of the Bible; there shall be no other. The Revised Standard Version is not the Authorized Version. The American Standard Version is not the Authorized Version. They are both unauthorized versions and are not admitted nor accepted amongst those that receive the Authorized Version as the authorized version of the Bible (which is what it is). By definition, every Bible version that is not the Authorized Version is an unauthorized version and therefore rejected (whether there be hundreds, thousands, or multiplied millions (as in billions, trillions, or more) of these productions on the market).New International Version unauthorized version New American Standard Version unauthorized version Revised Standard Version unauthorized version American Standard Version unauthorized version New World Testament unauthorized version No changes to the Authorized Version are admitted on any wise. By definition, any Bible version that is not the Authorized Version is an unauthorized version. No one with a modicum (a little bit, a small quantity) of sense would boldly walk into a nation, scramble around its laws and constitution (and adding and subtracting therefrom), and then say that their vandalism and impudent proclamations are based on "the originals" and that the centuries-old statutes that the people of the kingdom have been thriving off of are unreliable. That would shake a kingdom at its foundation should its citizens be simple enough to listen to such person, but the kingdom of God is governed by the King of kings and Lord of lords that revealeth secrets and maketh known what his people need to know; his people know his voice and know not the voice of strangers--his people make whatever adjustments they need to make for they believe and obey the truth. They flee from strangers and will continue to do so. When the Lord Jesus comes back, his church will be waiting for him. The word of God will stand no matter what impious gainsayers may do.
GAINSAYER, n. (those who contradict or deny what is alleged; opposers, ref. Webster's 1828).The enemy is very interested in the word of God, for if he can wrest it from the people, the people will be deceived, sick, weakly, dependent on the "experts," unrighteous, sinful, weak (and weakening), and of no threat to his kingdom. How many church people have gone to hell and how many will go...
The Authorized Version is the rule and touchstone whereby men (and their inventions) and spirits are tried. If any man or spirit speak not according to the authorized version of God's word, it is because there is no light in them. Now, in the midst of the deep deception overtaking the earth, is the time for splitting hairs and proving all things (doctrines, laws, etc.) by comparing them to the word of God, the Authorized Version.
He said, I said
One writer said to me, "You [do not] talk about the large section of
Mark [referring to Mark 16:9-20] which was INCLUDED with the provison that the earliest reliable
manuscripts did not include that section." [Not everyone believes that those "older" manuscripts are authentic]
I said to him, That "provisional" statement is, at best, casting doubt on the word of God and at worst deleting the information in the footnotes. You say that the NIV says, the MOST RELIABLE manuscripts don't have it. That is as good as saying, "If you accept this rendering you are accepting an inferior, unreliable manuscript." What they DON'T tell you is that those same "reliable" manuscripts DON'T EVEN INCLUDE THE WHOLE BOOK OF REVELATION!!! If the manuscript is so reliable, then why didn't they take out the WHOLE book of Revelation? Mmm? Selective deletion? Why not be true to what they say are the earliest and most reliable manuscripts? I have no respect for this.
As I receive further information, I will upate this page. This is a fight for the word of God, the Authorized (King James) Version of 1611, the product of the Protestant Reformation.
The Roman Catholic Church, her Jesuits, and Modern Unauthorized Bible Versions (roman_catholic_church_and_unauthorized_versions.htm).
Lord willing, information on the Roman Catholic Church involvement with the New Internation Version (NIV) is forthcoming. The true church has historically identified Rome as the great whore of Revelation 17 and MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. She meets all of the qualifications, fornicating with the kings of the earth, drunken with the blood of the saints, color of her clothes, etc. God's Spirit even told us geographical information--she is a city that sits on seven mountains. Rome is world-famous as the city of seven hills. Former Roman Catholic Jesuit priest, Dr. Alberto Rivera, said on this wise, No matter what abomination you are looking at, always look for The Mother.
The Roman Catholic "Church" is not Christian.
Roman Catholicism: The Cult of Mary (a number of articles on Rome including "Alter Christus", "The Antichrist Slideshow" and more.
I watched a video, "The REAL Bible Version Issue Exposed!" (sold by AV Publications). It has information about the NIV, at a certain point, being translated at a Roman Catholic university, The University of Salamanca. They excerpted this information from a book written by one of the "creators" of the NIV, Burton L. Goddard. The name of the book is The NIV Story: The Inside Story of the New International Version (quoted from pages 96 and 97)
"In 1976 the scene is the Colegio Mayor Montellano, a residential unit of the University of Salamanca, fourth largest university in Europe. An order of Catholic nuns operates the residence..." Page 97 "They [summers in Europe] provide a practical day-by-day ecumenical experience beyond compare."
What is the significance of this? In the not too distant past, the Roman Catholic Church BURNED Bibles and in her inquisitions she BURNED Christians that translated or read the Bible? Why would she be involved in, yea leading, an "ecumenical" experience with Protestants? Why was she involved in the translation of the NIV in any manner? Since her Vatican II council meeting around 1965, she typically publicly calls Protestants "separated brethren" instead of her old time title for them, "heretics." Heretics were to be rooted out, looted, tortured, burned, killed slain. But that was back then when she had the power to terrorize nations. Why would SHE be involved in translating Protestant unauthorized Bible versions? A quote from the back of the DVD--
"This video proves that the New 'Bible' Versions produced since 1881, are part of the Jesuit plan known as the 'Counter Reformation.'In this video you will see documented proof of Roman Catholic infiltration and even control of Protestant churches and organizations.
You will understand that the Jesuit plan is to bring in a new Dark Age by replacing the King James Version [originally known as the "Holy Bible" and eventually, the "Authorized Version"] with HUNDREDS of corrupt counterfeits!"
Does Rome have any previous experience in Bible translation? Let's go to a witness from 1844. Let us first look at the title of the book--
Popery, The Enemy and the Falsifier of Scripture.
Or,
Facts and Evidences,
Illustrative of the Conduct of the Modern
Church of Rome,
in prohibiting the reading and circulation of the
holy scriptures in the vulgar [this means "common"] tongue;

FALSIFICATION OF THE SACRED TEXT IN TRANSLATIONS
OF THE BIBLE EXECUTED BY ROMANISTS.
"Ye have taken away the key of knowledge."--Luke XI.52. [Luke 11:52]
LONDON: William Edward Painter, 342, Strand.
MDCCCXLIV [1844]., p. 4
What does it say on page 4?
As this Encyclical Letter [speaking of an encyclical by Pope Gregory XVI (June 8, 1844)]* refers with approbation [approval] to the efforts of those pontiffs [speaking of popes], his predecessors, who, in the plenitude of their usurped supremacy, denounced [put down] all Protestant versions of the Bible; we think (at least we, hope) that we shall render a service to the reader of these pages, by placing upon record some documentary evidence on this subject: and since Gregory XVI. has thought proper to charge Protestant versions with being "corrupt," we shall proceed to adduce some convincing testimonies, which will demonstrate, that WHERE THE CHURCH OF ROME CANNOT altogether PREVENT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES from being translated and circulated, SHE HAS MADE NO SCRUPLE [HESITATION] OF FALSIFYING THE TEXT."
Let's go back further. In 1611, the translators of the Authorized (King James) Version told us why Rome made a venacular translation of the Bible in the first place. After the Protestant Reformation, the scriptures were being made widely available. Rome was forced to develop her own alterative--
Yea, so unwilling they are to communicate the Scriptures to the people's understanding in any sort, that they are not ashamed to confess that we forced them to translate it into English against their wills. (The Translators to the Reader (was attached to the Authorized King James Version)
What did the King James translators say about Rome's translations of the Bible? Here they note that Rome attempted to obscure the meaning--
...we have shunned the obscurity of the Papists, in their 'azymes', 'tunik', 'rational', 'holocausts', 'prepuce', 'pasche', and a number of such like, whereof their late translation is full, and that of purpose to darken the sense, that since they must needs translate the Bible, yet by the language thereof it may be kept from being understood. But we desire that the Scripture may speak like itself, as in the language of Canaan, that it may be understood even of the very vulgar. (Translators to the Reader, paragraph entitled, "Reasons inducing us not to stand curiously upon an identity of phrasing")
Who did the Authorized King James Version translators say was their "chief adversaries" during the translation of the King James Version (back then it was just called "Holy Bible", King James was the king that specially commanded the translation)? "The Church of Rome". This can be seen in "The Translators to the Reader." Just go to the paragraph entitled, "The unwillingness of our chief adversaries that the Scriptures should be divulged in the mother tongue, &c." WHY would Rome be involved in Protestant/"ecumenical" translations today? At the instigation of her popes, Rome has shed rivers of blood of Christians who would not bow down to the Pope and Roman Catholic heresies and blasphemies--the martyrs of Jesus. She would identify and declare open season on those who translated or even believed God's word. WHY is she involved in Bible translation?
THE HISTORICAL RECORD CLEARLY SAYS THAT SHE FALSIFIES THE TEXT!
A 1617 tract entitled, "Mischeefes Mysterie:
Or Treason's Master-Peece, the Powder Plot
London 1617" shows eight heads arranged in a circle. The heads represent popery, e.g. the pope and Catholic officials, as well as a devil. Each head breathes out his threatenings and blasphemies including, "FALSIFICATION OF SCRIPTURES" (emphases ours). THIS WAS 1617!
And remember the book from 1844, "Popery, The Enemy and the Falsifier of Scripture...
FALSIFICATION OF THE SACRED TEXT IN TRANSLATIONS
OF THE BIBLE EXECUTED BY ROMANISTS." THE REVISED VERSION WOULD BE OUT IN LESS THAN 40 YEARS! THE WORDS OF HERETIC "GREEK" TRANSLATORS WESCOTT AND HORT IN THEIR LETTERS SOUND MIGHTY POPISH. ACCORDING TO A WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE, THE REVISED VERSION IS BASICALLY CREDITED WITH BEGINNING THE MODERN BIBLE VERSION MOVEMENT--AND IT WAS BASED ON WESCOTT AND HORT'S "The New Testament in the Original Greek."
"The New Testament in the Original Greek" was published in 1881, as was the Revised Version based upon it: this latter failed to gain lasting popularity, but the Westcott-Hort text and theory has dominated the scene since. (excerpted from Traditional Text Pamphlets Homepage and compiled by David Blunt of the James Begg Society, emphases ours; see From Their Own Mouths--A selection of statements revealing the attitudes of these two most noted textual critics. Westcott and Hort )
A repentant participant in the NASV revealed to us that "the older and better" manuscripts came Out From Her--Rome!!!!!!!!!!!!
And don't forget that notable quote from a Roman Catholic Jesuit meeting in Cheri, Italy, in 1825 not long after the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) (a pact/"Holy Alliance" between Rome and certain kings was made)--
"Then the Bible, that serpent which with head erect and eyes flashing, threatens us with its venom while it trails along the ground, shall be changed into a rod AS SOON AS WE ARE ABLE TO SEIZE IT... for three centuries past this cruel asp has left us no repose. You well know with what folds it entwines us and with what fangs it gnaws us." (The Jesuits in History, Hector Macpherson, Ozark Book Publishers, 1997, Appendix 1). [emphases ours]
"Seize it"? Are those the words of a pretended usurper or no?
Rome dug up Bible translator John Wycliffe's bones over 40 years after he died and burned them in spite. She chased down Bible translator William Tyndale, a good man, who was eventually caught, strangled, and burned up during the times of King Henry VIII around 1536. I've seen screenshots of the NIV being sold online on Roman Catholic bookstores! Is the NIV acceptable to her or not???????????????? We have not even addressed the later version(s) of the NIV--gone hog wild crazy (e.g., we have an old article on the "Today's New International Version" gender inclusivity and a 2011 article on the 2011 NIV entitled, "The 2011 NIV-- TNIV gender-inclusivity was, was not, and now is in the 2011 NIV") HOG WILD! Why aren't church people warned? Always look at the leadership. Our pastors are often not taught and if they are, they are scared and fearful and satisfied with the status quo. The book of Isaiah testifies of the blind watchmen that are dumb dogs that cannot bark. The preachers are not warning the people. We need some barking! Some LOUD barking! The preachers in pulpits are not identifying MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. The Mother.
Did the Roman Catholic Church give us the Bible? Somebody has had the nerve to say she did. What she did is burn us up and torture us and torment us. If they ever thought about reading the Bible, Catholics had to try to get a license to read the Bible--and back then you had better not be caught sneaking around with the Bible or even helping anybody who had one. The historical record says that during the Roman Catholic Inquisition, such persons did not get to defend themselves, they just had to be abused, whole towns wiped out. It is said that the martyrs were so courageous because they knew they were resisting antichrist--and they did so to the DEATH. For case histories, see unabridged books like The Martyrs Mirror".
I did not know all this information back when I started this webpage, I just knew that somebody was adding and deleting and rearranging and calling their production a Bible which I knew it was not. The Lord's sheep hear his voice. They do not know the voice of strangers. In fact, they flee from strangers. It is automatic. We are his sheep and he is our Shepherd and Bishop of our souls--he is the Bishop, not some blaspheming man in a costume and a pointed hat impudently/shamelessly claiming to be the head of God's church because that man so-called sits in the non-existent "chair of Peter."
