1 | WHERE IS MAT18 V 11 GONE IN THE NIV???? | Luke 19:10 | AbandonedToHisGrace | 177866 | ||
I am staggered that when I was reading Matthew 18, In the New International Version, That INTENTIONALLY OMITTED from that chapter is verse 11. The very core of our Christian faith is left out of this version of the bible. The verse left out is: 11. For The Son of Man is come to save that which was lost. I would love to hear what the theologians have to say about that!!!!! |

Do you really want to hear or are you looking for a fight? No, "the very core of our Christian faith" is not left out of that version. Luke 19:10. A question, how do we know it was intentionallly omitted and not copied from Luke and added into Matthew 18:11? |

3 | Looking for an ANSWER not a FIGHT!!!!!!! | Luke 19:10 | AbandonedToHisGrace | 177870 | ||
Why oh why in the name of The Living God are you so defensive. I asked a very simple question. What is there about my question that is "Looking for a fight"? Your answer does not answer my question in any event. The facts are very clear. Verse 1 1 has been "TAKEN OUT" of Matthew 18 in the New International Version and I want to know W H Y?? This verse is in the original text and what right has ANY PUBLISHER to take this verse out. I am not in the least concerned or interested about the verse being in another chapter in another version of Gods sacred word, I want to know WHY WHY WHY is it taken out of this particular version?? The Book of Revelation is clear about anyone who adds to or takes away from Gods Word. |

Greetings AG! May I address this issue? Not being familiar with how aware you are about the history of the text of Scripture, allow me to give a very simplified explanation. The Bible was not handed down to us in it's present form. What we have are thousands of manuscripts (some more complete than others) which sometimes disagree with one another. Thus, the question of why Mt. 18:11 was 'taken out' of the NIV is a tricky one because it may not have been there to begin with. :-) In this particular case, there are three variant readings in Mt. 18:11. 1) The oldest manuscripts do not include the verse at all. 2) Some manuscripts have it included, but they mostly date from the 9th and 10th centuries. 3) Other manuscripts have a completely different reading altogether. In the judgement of the textual critics, option 1 is the one which is closest to the original. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
