Whats Wrong With the NIV?
The New International Version, along with many other modern translations, is based on a source text that had become corrupted at some time during the first four centuries, and was later processed by two occult practitioners called Westcott and Hort who produced their “Critical Greek Text”. They claimed that this new text was superior to the Traditional Text that had been used by the church since the time of the Apostles, and it would provide a basis for the production of new translations. Many theologians were taken in by this and set about the task of making their own translations, unaware of the problems with the source text they were using. As a consequence, translations began to emerge with many changes and omissions that affect important doctrines. Here are just a few examples, taken from the NIV.
