Problems with the NIV!
NIV Calls Lucifer, "Jesus"
(1) Just about everybody knows the word Lucifer as another name for Satan. The word Lucifer is found one time in the King James Bible.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
(2) But what about the NIV? The word Lucifer is clean, bald-headed gone and now this creature is identified as the morning star. Lucifer is the morning star in the NIV.
How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
(3) So we know that in the NIV the morning star is a negative, evil figure. Right? He was fallen from heaven. He was cast down to the earth. Can we find the morning star anywhere else in the NIV? Yes!
The following passages in the NIV show the morning star as Jesus Christ!
But the NIV just called the fallen creature of Isaiah 14:12 morning star. Lucifer AND Jesus are ONE in the NIV!
Lord have mercy, Jesus! Help me, Lord.
NIV: Revelation 22:16,
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you [1] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.
NIV: 2 Peter 1:19,
And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
NIV: Revelation 2:28--
I will also give him the morning star.
NIV Reader, can you say to the lord OUT LOUD,
Oh, lord, Thank you for giving me the NIV.
It is proper to call Jesus a fallen creature.
Jesus and Lucifer are the same.
Thank you, father.
If you can, the lord and father
you are praying to is--SATAN.
If you cannot say this, you need to UTTERLY DESTROY
your perverted Bible.
Don't even use it to help you.
Get a King James Bible so you can have the true word of God.
This is very serious
Is Sodomy a sin...?
A fly In the Ointment
A recent article in the Church Bus News contains some shocking information. A 1993 issue notes that Dr. Virginia Mollenkott, one of fourteen literary critics on the NIV translation committee, is a professed lesbian.
Dr. Mollenkott was quoted in the Episcopal publication Witness (June 1991) as saying my lesbianism has always been a part of me...
if you write the International Bible Society (144 Tices Lane, East Brunswick, NJ 08816) and ask for a list of the NIV translators you will receive a booklet which includes Dr. Mollenkotts name.
While this is an astounding fact there is still more.
The NIV completely eliminates the term sodomite from the Bible.
The word appears five times in the KJV (De 23:17, I Ki 14:24, I Ki 15:12, I Ki 22:46, and II Ki 23:7).
The NIV replaces it with the phrase male shrine prostitute.
Everyone knows what a sodomite is; what is a male shrine prostitute?
The law homosexuals in Texas wanted repealed was the sodomy law, not the male shrine prostitute law.
The people who rioted Hamilton Square Baptist Church in San Francisco were sodomites not male shrine prostitutes.
If you ask a homosexual whether or not he minds that King Asa took the male shrine prostitutes out of the land he probably would not.
Ask if he is offended by the removal of sodomites and you will get a very different answer.
The EXCLUSIVE PUBLISHER AND PRINTER OF THE NIV IS HARPERCOLLINS AND COPY AND PASTE THIS LINK INTO YOUR BROWSER
http://www.harpercollins.com/global_scripts/product_catalog/book_xml.asp?isbn=0060012749&tc=bd
AND YOU WILL GET THE BOOK THE JOYS OF GAY SEX....A HOW TO BOOK.
Hmmmm....is there a connection....?
NIV...gay sex....
How can anyone say that the NIV does not corrupt the Word of God when the evidence is so clear. By the way, the RSV has done the same thing. If you have one look these five verses up; you will find them almost interchangeable with the NIV. I will near again be able to read the NIV without wondering if the verse I am studying is one of these that was altered by a lesbian critic. If there was so little scrutiny of the members of the NIV committee that Dr. Mollenkott was chosen, who knows what other interests were represented.
The Devil must be pleased that a pastor somewhere in America will preach to his congregation next Sunday using the very words that were placed in a modern translation by a lesbian. If you are using one of the new translations please have the courage to research the facts about it. Those learned men who endorse it do not mention that it includes the contributions of sodomites, and you will have to wonder what else they may not have told you.

The New International PerVersion
by Terry Watkins
. . . ye have PERVERTED the words of the living God. . .
Jeremiah 23:36
This generation has a hunger for perversion. What was perversion just a few years ago, is now normal. What was hiding in the closet is now parading in our streets. Perversion has found a welcome home - from the living room, to the White House; from our churches - to even the word of God!
Our friend Webster, defines pervert as 1. to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true...
2. to twist the meaning or sense of: misinterpret (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1977, p.856).
A perfect definition of The New International Version (NIV): to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true and to twist the meaning or sense of. If you doubt that, before you start reading this tract - get the NIV and check it as you read this tract!
The NIV perverts the deity of Jesus Christ!
I TIMOTHY 3:16: The clearest verse in the Bible proclaiming that Jesus Christ was God. The King James Bible (KJB) reads, And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH. . . The King James says, plainly,
GOD was manifest in the flesh.
The NIV reads, HE appeared in a body. The NIV twists GOD to HE.
HE appeared in a body? So What? Everyone has appeared in a body!
He is a pronoun that refers to a noun or antecedent. There is no antecedent in the context!
The statement does NOT make sense! The NIV subtilty (see Genesis 3:1) perverts I Timothy 3:16 into utter nonsense!
PHILIPPIANS 2:6: The KJB again, clearly declares the deity of Jesus Christ:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD
The NIV reads, Who, being in very nature God, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD something to be grasped,. The NIV again subtitly perverts the deity of Jesus Christ!
The NIV perverts the virgin birth!
LUKE 2:33: The King James Bible reads, And JOSEPH and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
The NIV reads,
The CHILDS FATHER and mother marveled at what was said about him. The CHILD'S FATHER? what about The virgin birth!
Not if you believe John 3:16, that Jesus Christ was the Son of God!
A subtil, perversion of the virgin birth. See also Luke 2:43.
The NIV removes the blood of Jesus Christ!
COLOSSIANS 1:14: The KJB reads, In whom we have redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins:
The NIV reads, In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. The NIV rips out the precious words THROUGH HIS BLOOD!Friend, redemption is ONLY THROUGH HIS BLOOD.Hebrews 9:22, reads, . . . without shedding of BLOOD is no remission. That old song says, What can wash away my sins, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!
The NIV perverts John 3:16 into a LIE!
JOHN 3:16: The NIV reads, For God so loved the world that he gave his ONE AND ONLY SON, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
Jesus was NOT the one and only son - Adam is called the son of God in Luke 3:38, there are sons of God in Job 1:6 and Christians are called sons of God in Phil 2:15, I John 3:2-
but Jesus was the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON! By removing the critical word BEGOTTEN - The NIV perverts John 3:16 into a LIE!
The NIV does the same in John 1:14, 1:18, and 3:18.
The NIV perverts TRUTH into LIES!
The NIV perverts Mark 1:2,3 into a LIE! The NIV reads It is written in Isaiah the prophet: I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way-a voice of one calling in the desert, Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.
It is NOT written in Isaiah! I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way -
is found in Malachi 3:1! The King James correctly reads: As it is written in the PROPHETS, . . . A better translation! Easier to read - BY A LIE!
Psalms 119:160 says, Thy word is TRUE. . . John 17:17 says, . . . thy word is TRUTH. Titus 1:2 clearly says, . . . God that CANNOT LIE
How could the God of Titus 1:2 be the God of Mark 1:2,3 in the NIV!? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! For Hebrews 6:18 clearly declares, . . . it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to LIE
It is impossible for the LIES in the NIV to be the words of GOD! Whose words are they? I'll give you a hint - Jesus Christ calls him A LIAR, and the father of it in John 8:44!
The NIV again openly LIES in 2 Samuel 21:19, . . . Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod. What 8-year-old doesn't know that David killed Goliath?
Romans 1:18-32 describes the path to perversion and verse 25, describes their decline, Who changed the TRUTH of God into a LIE. . .!
Not surprisingly, The NIV perverts Romans 1:25 from CHANGED the truth of God INTO a lie to EXCHANGED the truth of God FOR a lie!
The NIV and sexual perversion!
Romans 1:26-32 also shows the fruits of sowing. . . the TRUTH of God into a LIE. . . Verses 26-27 says FOR THIS CAUSE (vs 25 for changing the TRUTH of God into a LIE) God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, . . .
The last few years homosexuality and sexual perversion have exploded into the mainstream. Legislation is now pending making same-sex marriages legal. Books such as Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddys Roommate, promoting homosexuality, are in our schools. According to The Washington Post, bisexuality and homosexuality, are the in thing in our public schools. And even churches are now welcoming homosexuals and are even ordaining them in the ministry!
A literary critic on the NIV translation was homosexual author Dr. Virginia Mollenkott. In Episcopal, Witness (June 1991, pp. 20-23), she admits, My lesbianism has ALWAYS been a part of me. . . To no surprise, sodomite is completely removed from the NIV. (Deut. 23:17, I Kings 14:24, 15:12, 22:46, II Kings 23:7) And of course, I Cor. 6:9, . . . effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. . . is replaced with the non-offensive . . . nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders. . .Notice the NIV in I Cor. 6:9 does NOT condemn homosexuals or the act of homosexuality - but ONLY homosexual OFFENDERS.
The NIV & Zondervan
A little known fact: In 1988 Zondervan and the NIV was purchased by Harper & Row, Publishers (now HarperCollinsPublishers). HarperCollins publishes pro-homosexual books such as Making Out, The Book of Lesbian Sex and Sexuality described as Beautifully illustrated with full-color photography,. . . Making Out is the complete illustrated guide to lesbian sexuality and relationships. . .the intricacies of love play. . . and many other pro-homosexual books!
HarperCollins is a subsidiary of the global media empire, The News Corporation, owned by Rupert Murdock. The News Corporation empire include Fox Broadcasting, Twentieth Century Fox, and more than 128 newspapers. Fox Broadcasting produces some of the most sexually lewd shows on television. Murdock also publishes the British newspaper, the Sun, notorious for its nude pin-ups.
Now where is Don Wildmon when we really need him? Don was quick to boycott Kmart because subsidiary, Waldenbooks sold Playboy and Penthouse. Kmart can not hold a candle" to the filth spewed by The News Corporation.
Why isn't Don boycotting Zondervan and the NIV? Friend, every time you purchase the NIV you are giving to people who produce pro-homosexuality, and pornographic material. Can two walk together, except they be AGREED? Amos 3:3
Jesus Christ plainly said in Matthew 7:17-18:
Even so every GOOD tree bringeth forth GOOD fruit; but a CORRUPT tree bringeth forth EVIL FRUIT. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a CORRUPT tree bring forth GOOD FRUIT. (Matthew 7:17-18)
Do you think Jesus Christ was LIEING?
Do you really believe God would ALLOW His HOLY word to be owned by that group? . . .for what fellowship hath RIGHTEOUSNESS with UNRIGHTEOUSNESS? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Cor. 6:14
Being born again, not of CORRUPTIBLE seed, but of INCORRUPTIBLE, by the WORD OF GOD, which liveth and abideth for ever. (1 Peter 1:23)
Isn't it EQUALLY amazing that the King James Bible is the ONLY Bible that is not OWNED by men?
That's right! The King James Bible has no COPYRIGHT ownership! Its copyright is the CROWN COPYRIGHT which ALLOWS it to be published by ANYONE, ANYTIME! Without asking ANYBODY for permission!
. . .but the word of God is NOT BOUND. 2 Timothy 2:9
The NIV robs Jesus Christ of worship!
In Matt. 8:2, 9:18, 15:25, 18:26, 20:20, Mark 5:6, 15:19 worshipped him is removed in the NIV! Why doesn't the NIV want Jesus Christ to be worshipped? Hint: see Luke 4:7, Matt. 4:9.
The NIV perverts Jesus Christ into Lucifer!
Isaiah 14:14 reveals Satans grandest desire,I will be like the most High. And with a little subtil perversion - the NIV in Isaiah 14:12 grants Satans wish!
ISAIAH 14:12: The KJB reads, How art thou fallen from heaven, O LUCIFER, son of the morning!. . . The NIV PERversion reads, How you have fallen from heaven, O MORNING STAR, son of the dawn. . . The NIV change Lucifer to MORNING STAR.
BUT WAIT. . . I thought the Lord Jesus Christ was the MORNING STAR?
Doesn't Revelation 22:16 say, I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and MORNING STAR.
The NIV CLEARY AND BLATANTLY makes LUCIFER -- The Lord Jesus Christ! WHAT BLASPHEMY! WHAT PERVERSION! And Christians claim the NIV is a better translation!
ISAIAH 14:15: The King James Bible condemns Lucifer to hell: Yet thou shalt be brought down to HELL . . . The NIV does NOT condemn Lucifer to HELL! The NIV reads, But you are brought down to the GRAVE. . . We all go to the GRAVE! Why doesn't the NIV want Satan in hell?
The NIV removes and perverts the place of hell!
The word hell occurs 31 times in the Old Testament in the King James Bible. In the Old Testament of the NIV it occurs - ZERO! The word hell is NOT in the Old Testament of the NIV!
And what do they do with hell? Take PSALM 9:17 for example: The King James reads, The wicked shall be turned into HELL. . . The NIV, reads, The wicked return to the GRAVE. . .We ALL return to the GRAVE! By removing hell the NIV perverts Psalm 9:17 into nonsense!
In the New Testament the NIV zaps out hell 9 times. And what clearer easier to understand word does the NIV update hell with? Five times they use - HADES! (Matt 16:18, Rev 1:18, 6:8, 20:13,14)What common person understands HADES?Everybody knows what HELL is! Do you know what HADES is? Hades is not always a place of torment or terror. The Assyrian Hades is an abode of blessedness with silver skies called Happy Fields. In the satanic New Age Movement, Hades is an intermediate state of purification! Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines HADES: the underground abode of the dead in Greek MYTHOLOGY. The NIV perverts your Bible into MYTHOLOGY!
The NIV perverts The Lord's Prayer into The Devils Prayer!
LUKE 11:2-4: The KJB reads, . . .Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
The NIV removes everything that refers to a Holy God in heaven - WHICH ART IN HEAVEN. . . Thy will be done, AS IN HEAVEN, so in earth.. .but DELIVER US FROM EVIL. Everything that distinguishes God from the Devil is REMOVED! OUR FATHER of the NIV is NOT IN HEAVEN and DOES NOT DELIVER FROM EVIL!
I wonder who it could be? (hint: see John 8:44)
The Bible warns against taking away and adding to the words of God!
Deuteronomy 4:2 reads: YE SHALL NOT ADD unto the word which I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH ought from it . . .
Proverbs 30:6, reads, ADD THOU NOT unto his words . . .
And just in case you missed it, GOD'S LAST WARNING is Revelation 22:18,19, . . . If any man SHALL ADD unto these things. . . And if any man shall TAKE AWAY FROM THE WORDS of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life. . .
And Jesus Christ, in Luke 8:12, gives a clear aim of Satan, . . . then cometh the devil, and TAKETH AWAY the word . . .
The NIV completely TAKETH AWAY 17 verses!
Wonderful and precious verses like:
MATTHEW 18:11: For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
ACTS 8:37: 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.
The NIV PERversion completely TAKETH AWAY Matthew 17:21, 18:11, 23:14, Mark 7:16, 9:44, 9:46, 11:26, 15:28, Luke 17:36, 23:17, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, 15:34, 24:7, 28:28, Romans 16:24 and 1 John 5:7!
After Mark 16:8 the NIV says, The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20. ZAP-There goes another 12 verses! And by the way, that is absolutely untrue!
The book, The Last Twelve Verses of the Gospel of Mark, by Dean Burgon contains over 400 pages of documented evidence for Mark 16:9-20, that has never been refuted, nor ever will!
After John 7:52, the NIV, reads, The earliest and most reliable manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11 ZAP-There goes another 12 verses!
Matt. 12:47, 21:44, Luke 22:43 and 22:44 are all removed in the footnotes!
That's 45 complete verses the NIV removes from the text or in the footnotes!
The NIV TAKETH AWAY 64,576 words!
Don't look for the mercyseat in the NIV - GONE!
Don't look for Jehovah in the NIV - GONE!
Don't look for the Godhead in the NIV - GONE!
The NIV removes wonderful Bible terms like remission, regeneration, impute, propitiation, new testament and many others!
Despite God's clear warnings about taking away from His words - the NIV removes 64,576 words! Over 8 percent of God's word is TAKETH AWAY!
That equals REMOVING the books of Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Lamentations, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi, Colossians, I Thessalonians, II Thessalonians, I Timothy, II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, James, I Peter, II Peter, I John, II John, III John, Jude and more - COMBINED!!! The equivalence of ripping out OVER 30 BOOKS of the Bible!
In case you think it's insignificant words like thee and thou? The NIV removes major portions of at least 147 verses!
Here's a small (very small) sampling of words removed in the NIV!
Matt. 6:13, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matt. 15:8, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth
Matt. 19:9, and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Matt. 20:7, and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
Matt. 20:16, for many be called, but few chosen.
Matt. 20:22, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with
Matt. 25:13, wherein the Son of Man cometh.
Matt. 27:35, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet They parted my garments among them and upon my vesture did they cast lots
Mark 6:11, Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Mark 10:21, take up the cross.
Luke 1:28, blessed art thou among women
Luke 4:4, but by every word of God
Luke 4:8, get thee behind me Satan

John 1:27, is preferred before me
John 3:13, which is in heaven
John 3:15, should not perish
John 11:41, from the place where the dead was laid
John 16:16, because I go to the Father
Acts 10:6, he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do
Acts 15:18, Known unto God are all his works
Acts 20:24, But none of these things move me
Acts 23:9, let us not fight against God
Rom. 8:1, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
Rom. 13:9, Thou shalt not bear false witness
I Cor. 6:20, and in your spirit which are Gods
I Cor. 11:24; Take eat... broken
II Cor. 10:4, but mighty through God
Gal. 3:1, that you should not obey the truth
Eph. 5:30, of his flesh, and of his bones
Phil. 3:16, let us mind the same thing
I Tim. 6:5, from such wthdraw thyself
Heb. 7:21, after the order of Melchisedec
I Pet. 1:22, through the Spirit
I Pet. 4:14, on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified
I John 4:3, Christ is come in the flesh
I John 5:13, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God
Rev. 1:11, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last
Rev. 5:14, him that liveth for ever and ever
Rev. 14:5, before the throne of God
Rev. 21:24, of them which are saved
Jesus Christ says, in Luke 4:4, . . . It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD of God.
But not according to the NIV! In fact, the NIV even TAKETH AWAY the last half of Luke 4:4 - BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD! And Jesus Christ was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3 to Satan! Does the NIV PERversion seriously think the Lord Jesus Christ does NOT know Duet. 8:3???
The LIES used to promote the NIV. . .
LIE 1) The NIV just updates the archaic words and makes it easier to understand. Nothing is really changed.
FACT: The NIV denys the deity of Jesus Christ; the virgin birth; glorifies Satan; openly lie; removes 17 complete verses and 64,576 words!
LIE 2) The NIV is easier to read and understand.
FACT: According to a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level research study, The King James Bible is by far the easiest! Out of 26 different categories - the King James graded easier in a whopping 23! In selected analysis, the KJB average grade level was 5.8 - the NIV was 8.4! (New Age Bible Versions, Riplinger, pp.195-209)
LIE 3) Older and more reliable manuscripts have been discovered since the King James Bible.
FACT: Dr. Sam Gipp writes, The fact is, that the King James translators had ALL OF THE READINGS available to them that modern critics have available to them today. (The Answer Book, Gipp, p.110) And furthermore, it is a well documented fact that 90 - 95 per cent of all readings agree with the King James Bible!
LIE 4) The NIV is more accurate.
FACT: The KJB is a literal word for word translation. When the translators had to add words for sentence structure they are in italics. The NIV uses dynamic equivalence. Rather than a word for word translation, they add, change and subtract to make the verse say what they thought it should! The Preface to the NIV even says, . . .they have striven for more than a word-for-word translation. . .
. . . ye have PERVERTED the words of the living God. . .
Jeremiah 23:36
The New International
PER-Version!
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt KEEP them, O LORD, thou shalt PRESERVE them from this generation FOR EVER.
Psalms 12:6, 7
