Bible Note: Greetings Sis. Tamara! Thanks for the response my friend! What I was trying to get to is that each Bible translation had to make choices about the text used in the translation. Many people are not aware that there is not 'one' Bible in the sense that God simply handed down a complete, unabridged copy! :-) Rather, we have many thousands of different manuscripts. When the KJV was produced, the scholars then only had a handful of manuscripts from which to work, and most of the manuscripts were of a lesser quality family. So, their approach was to simply count the manuscripts, and the reading with the most 'witnesses' was the reading that they adopted. The main point is simply this, some of the manuscripts included things that the KJV left out, while some of the manuscripts had added things that the KJV included. So, if a modern translation, like the NIV, disagrees with the KJV, it is most likely because the NIV has many more manuscripts available with which to make textual decisions. In short, the KJV is certainly not more accurate than the modern translations. Though it is certainly the most beautiful translation, it does add passages that were not originally part of the text.
