BL> The NIV is a corrupted and perverted translation. It blantly omits
BL> 1 John 5:7. It is translated from the corrupted Alexandrian text. The
BL> same text that the Jehovah Witnesses used to translate their New World
BL> Translation.
BL> There is only one Word of God and it's the the KJV 1611 edition. It was
BL> translated using the Masoretic text which is the same text Jesus quoted
BL> when He rebuked satan in the wilderness. In using the Masoretic text
BL> Jesus showed us what text is the pure text.
BL> All other translations except the the KJV are from satan the
BL> merchandiser who makes merchandise of christians with his corrupt
BL> translations.
Gotta elaborate if you're gonna make statements like that.  Personally I use 
both KJV and NIV, and find little difference in the interpretation.
BL>  Jesus called Judas friend but Judas didn't know his Friend.
Very true.
Peace.
