Where to Start

Background information on the KJV / NIV debates

It is true that to many, research on Bible Versions simply appears to be a waste of time, much ado about nothing.

It really isn't, though I know it can initially seem that way. I do realize that many people don't think that they have the time to do a lot of research.

But where would a person start - if they Wanted...to do research ?

People often ask Where is the Evidence, of real problems
with many of the so-called "modern" versions ?

Here it is !!

One of the better places is the small book

"IF The Foundations Be Destroyed -
What does the NIV have against Jesus?" by Chick Salliby

This book compares the King James Version's presentation of Jesus Christ with that of the New International Version. Follow Christ's life, from His eternal pre-existence, to His life on earth, to His eternal existence yet to come, and learn how each step is either aborted or distorted by the NIV

Concise, yet thorough, it is easily understood by laymen or pastors, and short enough to be read in a single sitting.

Verse comparisions between the King James and the NIV cover the following topics:

Redemption
Christ's Eternal Existence
Christ's Deity
Deity Provable in Christ as Judge
Christ the Creator
Christ the Son of God
Virgin Birth
Also Concerning Christ's Birth
Christ's Incarnation
Christ's Omnipresence
Worship of Christ
Christ's Commission
Christ's Miracles
Christ the Comforter
Christ's Teachings and Words
Christ's Teaching on Eternal Punishment
Christ's Teaching on Prayer and Fasting
Steps to the Cross, Trial, Crucifixion, and Resurrection
Ascencion and Glorification of Christ
Christ's Priesthood
Christ's Lordship
Christ's Grace
Christ's Return
Christ's Eternal Existence (Future)
Title "Lord"
Title "Christ"
Title "Jesus"
Names and Titles of Jesus Omitted in the NIV

This is a small book. We recently checked at amazon.com, and there were more than 20 new or used copies available. It costs less than $ 10.00 and it would save you many hours.

It also highlights the verses, and the contrasts between the two.

In case that helps.
