fossten said:The Bible is still intact in the King James Version and any other language version directly transliterated from the Textus Receptus.
The NIV, NASV, and all the other English versions come from the English Revised Version, which was a flawed and corrupt English translation done in the 1880s by Westcott and Hort. (oops, it's Hort not Hoyt) These translations have numerous errors and disagreements with each other and cannot be trusted to be God's Word. Even seminary students use careful language when referring to versions like the NIV, saying that it "contains" God's word.
The NIV that I read is translated from the oldest known scripts.
