evidence: The NIV and ESV has now removed 64,575 words from the Bible This is incredibly misleading, and results from a fundamental misunderstanding of how translation works. They didn't "remove" anything. They just decided to word their translation a different way. Maybe you don't like that decision, but that doesn't mean they "removed" anything. That isn't how translation works. [...] No conspiracy. The devil isn't behind the NIV. You don't have to abandon all use of electronic Bibles because publishing houses are updating them and removing stuff. That isn't happening.
