Ripped from the Bible(1)

Section 1

Key Passages Missing

The first list is a sampling
depicting omissions that are commonplace in modern versions. These omissions
often diminish basic doctrines. The New International Version, which we have
used as a representative, has somewhat fewer omissions than the New American
Standard, Revised Standard, New English, etc. Yet even in the NIV, the deletions
are considerable and noteworthy. This will become increasingly evident when the
second list, which gives all of the Names of Deity that have been omitted, is
perused. The two translations have been placed side by side so that the earnest
inquirer can readily perceive the magnitude of the situation and determine for
himself whether the NIV has the same authority and reverence as the Authorized
Version.
