evidence: A post has recently been doing rounds on Facebook. It begins by revealing that Harper Colins, who apparently own Zondervan, also publish the Satanic Bible and ‘The Joy of Gay Sex’. Having repulsed you with this, it then goes on to show you that the NIV has left out important verses in the Bible. You put 2 + 2 together. The Satanists are behind the NIV and are slowly editing away God’s word verse by verse. A lot of confusion ensues. A dear friend sent me an email about it. With his permission, I share my reply to him. [...] All that to say that the fact that Harper has published the NIV doesn’t confirm anything about whether it is a good version of not. Harper are not the ones who removed the verses. Even the ESV, RSV, HCSB and NASB, which are published by Bible Societies and Christian publishers, don’t have the verses that the NIV is claimed to have removed. Notice that even NIVs published by our own Biblica do not have the disputed verses, and have the same content as the ones by Harper Collins. The Facebook article makes it look as if Harper Collins had an agenda in removing these verses. The verses have never been there in any NIV! Or any other well-known versions other than the KJV and NKJV.
