evidence: A post shared on Facebook claims HarperCollins removed 64,575 words in the NIV and ESV Bibles after acquiring the publishing rights. [...] "NIV was published by Zondervan but is now OWNED by Harper Collins, who also publishes the Satanic Bible and The Joy of Gay Sex. The NIV and ESV has now removed 64,575 words from the Bible including Jehovah, Calvary, Holy Ghost and omnipotent to name but a few," the post reads, in part. "The NIV and ESV has also now removed 45 complete verses." (RELATED: Photo Shows 3d Model Of Taylor Swift, Not Biblical Figure Eve Created By Princeton Scientists) The post is inaccurate. Zondervan, a subsidiary of HarperCollins, responded to the claim in a separate Facebook post in July 2015 in a comment. The company explained that the "missing verses" are actually located in footnotes. "During the exacting translation process for the NIV Bible, some verses were found not to be included in the oldest or most reliable manuscripts that the NIV translators had available to use," the post reads, in part. "When those verses could not be verified by the more reliable or older manuscripts, the NIV translators moved them to a footnote to reflect greater accuracy."
