I may be the last one on the block to know this, but just in case…. Here goes.
I have not been a KJV only person. I often use the Amplified or Expanded Version when seeking clarification of a difficult to understand verse.
Those versions seem to be OK, but other favorite Versions are a problem.
Including: NIV, RSV, NAMES OF GOD Version , PHILLIPS Version and more.
Please check your version against the KJV especially if you use an electronic Bible as I do.
These versions leave out verses. Below find first and last verses parallel versions KJV and NIV.
Both interesting and scary. John 3:16,17 we find complete, the other verses not so much.
John 3:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved(A) the world that he gave(B) his one and only Son,(C) that whoever believes(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(E)

I am disappointed in this and now even question the validity of the KJV… Who knows what may have been changed during multiple Translations?
This was from FB.
VERY CRITICAL ALERT!!!
Hello Christians!!
I’m sure you know that NIV Bible was published by Zondervan but is now owned by Harper Collins, who also published the SATANIC BIBLE.
The NIV Bible has now removed 64,575 words from the Bible including Jehovah, Calvary, Holy Ghost and Omnipotent to mention but a few.
The NIV Bible has also now remove 45 complete verses. Most of us have the Bible on our devices and phones. Try and find these Scriptures in NIV Bible on your computers, phones or any other device right now if you are in doubt.
Matthew 17:21, 18:11, 23:14;
Mark 7:16, 9:44, 9:46;
Luke 17:36, 23:17; John 5:4;
Acts 8:37……
You will not believe your eyes. Refuse to be blinded by satan and do not act like you just don’t care.
Let’s not forget what the Lord Jesus said in John 10:10 (KJV). “The thief (referring to Satan) comes but to kill, to steal and to destroy…)
SOLUTION:
If you must use the NIV Bible, BUY AND KEEP AN EARLIER VERSION of the Bible.
A hard copy cannot be updated. All these changes occur when they ask you to update the App on your phone or laptop, etc.
There is a crusade geared towards altering the Bible as we know it. NIV and many more versions are affected. by Robyn Lewis
