My previous video blog was a short introduction to some of the problems that arise when Christians treat their Bible version as a personal preference. As part of that presentation I demonstrate the false theology of Christ given by the Old Testament in the New International Version.
The most common response to this is for a modern version proponent to claim that there is no real problem because the NIV still contains “all” of the doctrines in other verses. Here is my response to that.
If you already watched the previous video, please bear with the first minute or so, because I do include some review of the previous material for the benefit of viewers who aren’t watching these in order.
So, are Bible versions really like jars of spaghetti sauce?
I’m not trying to make fun of anyone with this. The point is to highlight the problem with holding to the idea that diminishing support for things like the deity of Christ isn’t really a big deal.
Also, this video makes reference to the Westcott and Hort Magic Marker Binge, which see.
Right on! Some have been deceived into thinking that there are no real omissions and that all “Bibles” say the same.
Here is a word comparison outline I did comparing the KJB to the ESV and NASB. Read through it if you have time, some omissions may seem minor, but some are a big deal.
Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
