I had brought up the subject of how inacurate the NIV bible was.
Below are but a few verses that totally water down or lose the meaning all together of the original KJV translation (1611). I put this in here (Spitual Warfare) because if you are going to battle in this type of ministry, trust me, Satan knows God's Word better than we do, and he twists it every chance he gets, thus watering down our power against the enemy.
As I stated in chat last evening, the NIV bible is published by Zandervan Publishing, which is owned by HarperCollins. HarperCollins publishes the Satanic Bible by Anton LeVey as well as probably half of the world's pornography. Translation...buy a new NIV Bible and a portion of your money goes to support porn and Satan, which is one in the same.
The old testament has it's own mistranslations as well, such as Satan being referred to as the Mourning Star when KJV refers to Jesus as The Mourning Star. The NIV also says David's brother killed Golliath, when we all know David did so. I bring this up for you to at least consider your choices more carefully when deciding on a bible for yourself or for someone else.
I realize these diferences I listed are quite lengthy, so just pick five or six and be done with it.
