Have you ever noticed just how many different versions of the Bible there are? Since the King James Bible was first translated, many new editions have added or removed certain parts. For those who might not know, it was the Roman Catholic Church that once attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in my country to overthrow the Protestant king. Many people don't believe in the conspiracy theories about the Jesuits—the militant arm of the Catholic Church—trying to bring the world under the control of the Pope. But it makes you wonder: why do we have so many Bible revisions influenced by Jesuit or Catholic perspectives?
Let’s take a look at the differences between the King James Bible and the NIV Bible. It’s interesting to note who holds the commercial rights to the NIV—one of them is Rupert Murdoch, the owner of News Corp. You might find it curious that he also owns *The Sun* newspaper, which, for years, featured topless models on its Page 3. Growing up, this had a significant impact on society, fueling a culture of misogyny.
So, what does this have to do with the Bible? Well, Rupert Murdoch was awarded the Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope John Paul II, a connection that clearly ties him to the Catholic Church. For those who watched my video yesterday, "The Order of Knights," you’ll remember I talked about the Jesuits. And as I’ve repeatedly shown in my blog, there’s substantial evidence of paganism and sun worship within the Roman Catholic Church.
It's worth noting that Jesus referred to the devil as the "prince of the power of the air." Baal, a god of the sun and sky, is another name for Lucifer, the false light-bringer, who in the Garden of Eden tempted Eve with occult knowledge, promising that she could become like God. Lucifer is also revered by the Freemasons, which I’ve discussed in previous posts.
So here we go,
Differences and Omissions:
Isaiah 14:12
-KJV: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
-NIV: "How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!"
-Difference: The KJV uses the term "Lucifer," while the NIV translates it as "morning star." The name "Lucifer" comes from the Latin Vulgate translation, but the original Hebrew term is "helel," which means "shining one" or "morning star." The NIV opts to translate the meaning rather than retain the Latin name.
Now, isn't it curious? Why would anyone deliberately choose to omit the name Lucifer, whom we recognize as the devil?
Matthew 17:21
-KJV: "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
- NIV: This verse is omitted in the NIV, though a footnote may indicate that some manuscripts include it.
- Difference: The NIV omits this verse because it is not found in some of the earliest and most reliable Greek manuscripts.
So they completely remove an entire verse, implying that the earlier translators must have been wrong? So why should we, as true Christians following the teachings of Christ, trust a multi-millionaire with ties to the Roman Catholic Church and a history of promoting topless models?
Matthew 18:11
- KJV: "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."
- NIV: This verse is omitted in the NIV, with a footnote indicating that it is not included in some early manuscripts.
- Difference: Again, the NIV excludes this verse due to its absence in earlier manuscripts.
Well that's convenient!
Matthew 23:14
- KJV: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation."
- NIV: This verse is omitted, with a footnote explaining that it is not present in the earliest manuscripts.
- Difference: The verse is omitted in the NIV based on manuscript evidence.
It would be helpful to review the evidence from the Greek manuscript that Desiderius Erasmus used in 1516. So, once again, we're expected to take their word for it. But at what point do they follow Scripture, where it says,
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you." Deuteronomy 4:2
Mark 7:16
- KJV: "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
- NIV: This verse is omitted, though a footnote may acknowledge its presence in later manuscripts.
- Difference: The verse is omitted due to its absence in early manuscripts.
Evidence!?
Mark 9:44 & 9:46
- KJV: "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." (This phrase appears in both verses.)
- NIV: Both verses are omitted, with footnotes indicating that they are not found in early manuscripts.
- Difference: Omitted due to absence in some early manuscripts.
There's an obvious pattern here.
Mark 11:26
- KJV: "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
- NIV: Omitted, with a footnote acknowledging its inclusion in some manuscripts.
- Difference: Omitted based on manuscript evidence.
Wow, it's quite a move to omit a verse about forgiveness. I guess they must really not want you to forgive others, to keep the world divided?
Mark 15:28
- KJV: "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors."
- NIV: Omitted, with a footnote referencing its absence in early manuscripts.
- Difference: Omitted due to absence in some early manuscripts.
This not taking away from God's word obviously didn't go down well!
Luke 17:36
- KJV: "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
- NIV: Omitted, with a footnote mentioning its absence in some manuscripts.
- Difference: Omitted based on manuscript evidence.
It's worth noting that the Bible originally had approx 80 books, but now only contains 66. If they keep going with the deletions, who knows how few books it might have next. Perhaps that’s the plan.
John 5:4
- KJV: "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."
- NIV: Omitted, with a footnote explaining that the verse is not included in the earliest manuscripts.
- Difference: Omitted due to absence in early manuscripts.
Acts 8:37
- KJV: "And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
- NIV: Omitted, with a footnote explaining its absence in the earliest manuscripts.
- Difference: Omitted based on manuscript evidence.
Romans 16:24
- KJV: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
- NIV: Omitted, with a footnote noting that it is not found in the earliest manuscripts.
- Difference: Omitted based on manuscript evidence.
Wow, they even deleted that too!
John 5:7-8
-KJV: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
- NIV: "For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement."
- Difference: The NIV omits the phrase "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This passage, known as the "Johannine Comma," appears in later Greek manuscripts but is missing from most of the earliest ones.
Just to note: St. Augustine, a Roman Catholic theologian, did not address the Trinity as described in the Johannine Comma because he did not have access to the later manuscripts that included it.
So this deletion and changing of God's word, goes WAY back!
Matthew 6:13 (The Lord's Prayer)
- KJV: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
- NIV: "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
- Difference: The doxology ("For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.") is omitted in the NIV, as it is absent from the earliest manuscripts of Matthew.
Here we go again!
Acts 24:7
- KJV: "But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,"
- NIV: Omitted, with a footnote noting that some manuscripts include this verse.
- Difference: The NIV omits this verse due to its absence in some early manuscripts.
Mark 16:9-20 (The Longer Ending of Mark)**
- KJV: This passage includes the resurrection appearances of Jesus, His commissioning of the disciples, and His ascension.
- NIV: Included, but with a footnote stating: "The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20."
- Difference: Although included in the NIV, this passage is marked with a significant note questioning its authenticity, as some of the earliest manuscripts do not contain these verses.
John 7:53-8:11 (The Woman Caught in Adultery)**
- KJV: This passage recounts the story of the woman caught in adultery, whom Jesus saves from being stoned.
- NIV: Included, but with a footnote: "The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53-8:11."
- Difference: The NIV includes this passage but notes that it is not found in the earliest manuscripts.
Luke 22:43-44 (Jesus’ Agony in the Garden)**
-KJV: "And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
- NIV: Included, but with a footnote noting that some manuscripts do not include these verses.
- Difference: The passage is present but marked as questionable in terms of manuscript support.
Romans 8:1
- KJV: "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
- NIV: "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
- Difference: The NIV omits "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit," which some believe was added by scribes to clarify the verse.
Oh, they believe that, so it must be fine, right? Are we just supposed to sit back and watch God’s Word be whittled away while trusting they don’t have an agenda? Really?
Colossians 1:14
- KJV: "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
- NIV: "In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
- Difference: The NIV omits "through his blood," although this phrase is found in the majority of Greek manuscripts.
So why would a multi-million-dollar corporation, led by a CEO with ties to the Roman Catholic Church, remove one of the most crucial aspects of Christian faith? The shedding of Christ’s blood is central to our salvation, representing the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Could this omission be an attempt to promote the notion that salvation comes from good works, as taught by the Roman Catholic Church, rather than from Christ's single, crucial sacrifice? Might there be an underlying motive to sustain the empire's influence?
There are approximately 16 complete verses present in the King James Version (KJV) that are omitted from the main text of the New International Version (NIV).
These verses include Matthew 17:21, Matthew 18:11, Matthew 23:14, Mark 7:16, Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 11:26, Mark 15:28, Luke 17:36, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, Acts 15:34, Acts 24:7, Acts 28:29, Romans 16:24, and a portion of 1 John 5:7.
In addition to these entire verses, there are numerous shorter phrases and words that differ between the KJV and NIV.
So, when we see entire verses missing from one version of the Bible but included in another, it's not just a matter of translation differences. Isn't it strikingly obvious that there might be a deliberate agenda behind this omission? Could it be that there's an attempt to influence people to align with a particular doctrine or even push them towards worship practices linked to the Roman Catholic Church and their associated deities, like Lucifer?
But there's no agenda right?!
