As I read through some of the comments on the forum, I quite often see people sneering at churches that are KJV-only. Have any of you really reviewed the potential pitfalls with not using only the KJV? Are these other versions of the Bible, such as the NIV, NASV, and even the NKJV sinful?
The NIV contains 185 omissions from that of the KJV. Why is this an issue? (See Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelations 22:19). For example, one verse that’s particularly troubling is Luke 4:4:
KJV version: “And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.”
NIV version: Jesus answered, “It is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone.”
The NIV Bible version comes from the lineage of Wescott-Hort (1881). These were liberals who didn’t believe in the virgin birth. Did you know that?
