Mark 15:28 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. What are you NIV readers missing? 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? Luke 22:44 -- removed in the footnotes Luke 22:43 -- removed in the footnotes Luke 23:17 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"].

John 7:53-8:11 -- removed in the footnotes Acts 8:37 -- COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"].

I John 5:7 -- Vitally important phrase COMPLETELY removed [also deleted from the Jehovah's Witness "Bible"]. In the NIV it says, This is one of the GREATEST verses testifying of the trinity. That is why 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 playing around with the Bible and it ain't funny. NIV Reader: Do you have enough confidence in the NIV to...

The following WHOLE verses have been removed in the NIV--whether in the text or footnotes.. here is but an example but there is over 40 IN ALL!!! The NIV also is a collaberator with the JWB or Jehovah's Witness "Bible".
KJV: "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
KJV: "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."
KJV: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation."
KJV: "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
"Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
KJV: "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
KJV: "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
KJV: "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors."
KJV: "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
KJV: "(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)"
KJV: "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."
KJV: "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
KJV: "Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still."
KJV: "But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,"
KJV: "And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves."
KJV: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
"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?
KJV: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
tell God, OUT LOUD, that these verses do not belong in the Bible?
If not, you need to get a King James so you can have some confidence.

Wow! I had to check for myself, sure enough they are missing in the online version.
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? KJV: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
It has to do more with manuscript textual criticism than with the JWs and the NIV. The KJV as did most early English Bibles used Textus Receptus or the Received Text. Where there were questions on passages in the Greek, the scholars referred to the Latin Vulgate as well. Which was very close to the what the Eastern Orthodox used the Alexandrian text. These are all manuscripts. So when the KJV was meted out they had a limited number of manuscripts compared to 50-200 years later. There was an explosion of various manuscripts shared after the KJV. Schools and universities focused on the Koine Greek, produced scholars on Greek Koine, and as time went on there were more accurate approaches to translations because more data to compare one manuscript to the other was made available. This was called textual criticism. That would be academic criticism, not the atheist type:) So today the KJV stays faithful to the RT and other English Bibles mostly use what is called the Majority Text (MT). Meaning when translating they want to be faithful in transmitting what the majority of the manuscripts evidence. So we have both the RT and the MT and a some others as well. When we draw out the Venn diagram we see some very tight circles and what comes out are a handful of passages everyone loves to disagree about. The fact is most Bibles, like the NASB, and many others either bracket and footnote the passages not either found in the MT or not in abundance. Some just footnote. I have not explored the NIV much to see if they bracket or not. The foot note usually says "does not appear in the MT, or early manuscripts. The JWs are another deal. They translated their Bible from English to English and used a bastardized way of adjusting the Greek Lexicon to fit their Arian doctrine that Jesus is "a lesser 'god' than the Father." They totally don't get the concept (or ignore) what "Logos" meant to the apostles and the early church fathers.

A democratic, mob rule, interpretation of the bible. Average in the Wiccan Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Communist Manifesto, and the NAMBLA Charter, and put it to a vote. An interesting opinion poll, but not likely the word of God.
Here is the way I see it. God said he would trnaslate his word to all tongues. I would take that to mean living tongues or languages spoken. There must have been the right manuscripts if his word was going to be published. Isn't it his word? If it is it is complete of everything needed. The NIV took away and makes Jesus a sinner. The NIV was made by some homos wasn't it. I read that somewhere years ago I think I confirmed it.
