But Mark 11:26 isn't in many of the versions. Just because it references another verse that may say the same thing, doesn't matter. The Bible was given to Moses letter by letter. It is entirely divine. I agree that one can find God from reading any version. One can also find God without reading the Bible at all, lol. Much love either way, Nothing hard. It's a slippery slope. Why change it at all? Yanno? That's what I'm saying. Either way, God bless.

This is an important verse and is taken out of the Bible. Regardless of what Revelation says, this verse should reach everyone who reads. When I looked up Mark 11:26 in Niv, i found a reference to : Matthew 6:15New International Version (NIV) 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. So really, it is not missing from the bible then? I was confused at first about your post, lol. After re-reading it, I'd like to say that just because one part of the Bible states a verse, doesn't mean it should be taken away form another part of the Bible. One more thing. Two of the versions I have do not include the reference at all. Moreover, why take away from the impact? Even if a version includes the reference, why take the scripture out at all? It's common knowledge that not everyone pays attention to the references. Many Bibles have NO references at all and are not study Bibles.

I would argue that the 17 verses omitted from the NIV should each be examined. It's to general to say that they took them out because of the difference of manuscript and to make it easier to read. For instance, while many of the verses are trivial and not necessarily "big deals," Mark 11:26 in the KJV states This is an important verse and is taken out of the Bible. Regardless of what Revelation says, this verse should reach everyone who reads. Matthew 18:11 (KJV) Yet another verse omitted completely. There are 15 other verses omitted. If you've never seen it, there is a number for the verse and no writing. I personally feel that this is a disgrace. On top of omissions, there are translations that attack Jesus Himself. For instance, Isaiah 14:12 (KJV) tells of Lucifer, "son of the morning!" falling from heaven. The NIV calls him the "morning star." Simple. Right? Just one problem... Revelation 22:16 (KJV) tells us clearly that Jesus is the morning star. It reads: So the KJV establishes that Jesus is "the morning star" and that the Satan is the "son of the morning." The NIV tells us that "the morning star" was cast down to earth. Anyone who says that the differences between the versions are trivial and are unimportant are ignorant to the facts. Of course, I would urge you to take the scriptures I've given here and research it yourself. I've done it many times and come to the same conclusion. That conclusion is this... The Bible told us what would happen in the end days. It talked of false prophets and false doctrines. Many pastors today are preaching that once you're saved you can live however you want and keep the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Does this sound logical to you? Do you think the experts employed by King James made mistakes of this magnitude? Isn't it more probable that the Devil is behind this? He's attacking the church piece by piece. Pray and ask God for discernment and He will grant it to you. Read the scriptures I've supplied here. Read the entire books if you'd like for complete context. God bless you all! With love, Russell.
