These are just some of the minor differences in wording between NKJV and NIV. Such inconsistency can easily shake the faith of a babe in Christ. Revelation 13:1 – in this verse, NIV mentioned that it was the dragon that stood on the shore of the sea, but in NKJV, you will read that it was John who stood on the shore of the sea.Luke 4:44 – synagogues of Galilee (NKJV) synagogues of Judea (NIV).Ephesians 5:9 – for the fruit the spirit (NKJV) for the fruit of the light (NIV) – The phrase “the fruit of the spirit” is more believable since it is a common expression throughout the Bible.Revelation 8:13 – an angel (NKJV) an eagle (NIV) – so which is which? Is it an angel or an eagle?.If you read the NIV and compare it to NKJV, you will see a glaring discrepancy. It is one thing when two people don’t agree and it is completely a different thing to see the Word of God clashing with each other! Then suddenly, you noticed that your Bibles don’t agree! Picture this: you are having a discussion with your church members, friends, or family. 2: NIV contradicts other Bible translations The compound effect of these missing verses surely leads to many deceptions and sadly, a misunderstanding of the scripture. As the Apostle mentioned, a little leaven leavens the whole lump (Galatians 5:9). If you think this is something of minor importance, then think again. Go, check it yourself and confirm how NIV molested the Bible by eliminating these important verses from your Bible. Those are some of the verses that were eternally denied to all NIV users. Let me give you a list of some of the verses that NIV deleted. According to one estimate I read, there are over 60,000 words deleted in the NIV translation! Now, these three verses are among the many passages that the NIV changed. NIV – But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”ĭid you see the subtle difference between the two translations? NKJV specifically mentioned that Jesus is calling the sinners TO REPENTANCE! You won’t read these words in the NIV translation. NKJV – But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Let me give you another example of NIV’s deliberate shredding of God’s word. He came to the world to save the lost! However, this very word is denied to all NIV readers! This footnote confirms that NIV is missing a verse and rightly so.Īgain, the statement you read in Matthew 18:11 is an important aspect of Christ’s ministry. What do you see? Nothing but a footnote – a footnote that says, “Some manuscripts include here the words of Luke 19:10.” Now, turn to Matthew 18:11 in your NIV Bible. Compare Matthew 18:11:įor the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost (NKJV). Now, this is not just the only omission in the NIV. Now, if you are just reading Luke 9:56 in the NIV, you won’t know that Yahshua the Messiah or Jesus Christ did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them! You won’t read the first part of the verse which I believe is a powerful and important message for all Christians. That’s it! That’s all that you can read in the NIV. Then he and his disciples went to another village. “ For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village. Open your New King James Version to Luke 9:56 and you will read: The most obvious reason you should not use the NIV is that a lot of Bible verses are missing! Read on to find out more! Here are the main reasons why you should not use the NIV Bible anymore! Reason no. I know this can be a big shock to many Christians and non-Christians alike, but the NIV Bible isn’t what it claims to be.ĭon’t believe me? Then, please read these 12 compelling reasons you should not use the NIV. So, let me explain my point.Īfter reading this post and you still rely on your salvation on this unholy Bible translation, then it is up to you to answer to God. Before you reach for the NIV Bible, I want to warn you of its silent molestation and corruption of the Bible! However, this does not mean that you have to follow this trend. The New International Version or simply, the NIV, is currently the second most popular translation of the Bible. □ This blog is inspired by the book, “ If the foundations be destroyed” by Chick Salliby.
