Bible Question:
I love my NIV. I also feel that it is a truly inspired revision of the word and that the Lord led me to it. However, my faith in this particular version was just jolted when I was reading the book of Acts and discovered with the help of my "Henry Comentary" that it OMITS verses that are in the KJV. Specifically Acts 8:37. If as I have determined from my research, this is due to the dateline of the manuscripts, why is the OMITTED verse number simply skiped over, ie 35 36 38 rather than continued in numerical sequence? |
Bible Answer: Dear GeorJoy, You wrote "...I also feel that it is a truly inspired revision..." In theological terminology: Inspiration - that extraordinary or supernatural divine influence vouchsafed to those who wrote the Holy Scriptures, rendering their writings infallible. I take it that, when you used "inspired", you used it in a different sense and did not mean to imply that the NIV translation is perfect. Am I correct? God Bless, John |
