Bible studies on the NIV
in the past on this site;
and then one of my
readers commented

more such studies on
the NIV. So, here is
the first of those

my reader. I hope this

studies with the real
Word of God, the
Version
KJV - King James
Version

the deletions. There

This is just a small
sample of what is missing
from the NIV bible. If you
would like to do further
study, I highly
recommend the book
'Look What's Missing'
by David W Daniels at
Chick Publications'
website. Mr. Daniels did
an amazing job showing
what's missing in a lot of
newer bible versions. It
will shock you as it did
me, I am sure. I love
this book and I hope it
helps you in your
search for the truth about
the NIV and other newer
bible versions.
