evidence: "VERY CRITICAL ALERT!!!" a May 29 Facebook post said before referring to the New International Version and English Standard Version Bible translations. "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 NIV and ESV has also now removed 45 complete verses." [...] Zondervan didn’t respond to PolitiFact’s questions about the post. But in 2015, when this same "critical alert" was circulating the internet, Zondervan responded to another Facebook post sharing the claim that HarperCollins had removed 64,575 words and 45 complete verses from the New International Version. [...] We rate claims that HarperCollins removed tens of thousands of words from the Bible False.
