Another Bloodless Bible? by James May

In his newsletter, Flashpoint of March, 1998, Texe Marrs has reproduced an article by Perry Rockwood entitled, “The NIV is Not God’s Word.” In the article, Mr. Rockwood states that “the NIV leaves out ‘through his blood’ in Colossians 1:14.” He then asks the rhetorical question, “Do we want a Bible without blood?”. The question implies that the New International Version deletes the blood of Christ from the New Testament. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is most unfortunate to see Christian leaders slanderously attack a conservative modern translation of the Bible using such misleading tactics.

Read the rest of this short article click here to find out why the KJV added one more verse about the blood than the NIV. The website The King James Only Resource Center has earned a link on my Ministry Links because of its loyalty and commitment to the doctrine of verbal plenary inspiration. You can read how I feel about this doctrine by clicking here and here.

I do wish Fundamentalists would stop bickering over favorite versions and be united in proclaiming that the Bible alone is our authority.

BTW I have a New site here!

Stay salty,
Brother John
