JJ> BL>The NIV is a corrupted and perverted translation. It blantly omits
JJ> BL>1 John 5:7. It is translated from the corrupted Alexandrian text. The
JJ> BL>same text that the Jehovah Witnesses used to translate their New World
JJ> BL>Translation.
JJ> BL>There is only one Word of God and it's the the KJV 1611 edition. It 
as
JJ> BL>translated using the Masoretic text which is the same text Jesus 
uoted
JJ> BL>when He rebuked satan in the wilderness. In using the Masoretic text
JJ> BL>Jesus showed us what text is the pure text.
JJ> BL>All other translations except the the KJV are from satan the
JJ> BL>merchandiser who makes merchandise of christians with his corrupt
JJ> BL>translations.
JJ> BL> Jesus called Judas friend but Judas didn't know his Friend.
JJ> BL>                                                         A Friend
JJ> Do you have the book "Bible Versions" To Test the True character of Your
JJ> Bible by Eldred Thomas?
JJ> From the book:
JJ> To Test The True Character Of Your Bible
JJ> You might ask the question: "How can I know if my Bible is a good
JJ> version or not?"  There are many tests, but let me give you just one:  I
JJ> Timothy 3:16.  What does your Bible say?  If your Bible says: "God was
JJ> manifest in the flesh,"  then probably you have a good Bible.  If it
JJ> does not, your Bible is based on false and corrupt manuscripts.  The
JJ> Lord God in Heaven does not want His word to be changed in any manner,
JJ> shape or form.   Satan hates the fact that God was manifested in the
JJ> flesh.  He has tried to take this out of the Bible.
JJ> In John 5:2 there is another test that you might like to make. It is the
JJ> little word "Bethesda."  If your Bible has spelled it differently, for
JJ> example, "Bethsaida" or "Bethsatha," either in the test or in the
JJ> margin, or as a footnote; you can know that your Bible is tyranslated
JJ> from corrupted manuscripts.  (Please note: I am referring to the pool in
JJ> John 5:2 and not the cities referred to in other passages, which are
JJ> spelled correctly.)  Joachin Jeremias in "Rediscovery of Bethesda"
JJ> states that a copper scroll found in Qumram Cave III, dating from 35 to
JJ> 65 A.D. shows the correct spelling which was "Bethesda."  The
JJ> evangelical test is the test of the apostles.  God bless.
JJ> I can type more, if anyone is interested.
I am if you got the time.  On your 2nd example, how does a simple misspelling 
corrupt the whole translation?
Peace.
