ArchivedNIV Version changes day star to morning star!I have not posted or asserted the KJV is a bad translation and like you I am not a big fan of the NIV. However, the reasons posted for trashing the NIV are irrational when manuscript evidence is not the basis for being critical of the NIV. Murdock is a businessman who purchased a publishing company; he did not influence or control the translators of the NIV. King James was far from a paragon of virtue and the criticisms aimed at Murdock can be levied against King James in spades. The motivation behind the KV translation was political, not Biblical truth, which can be discerned by anyone who has researched the history of the English Bible. In light of what the balance of Scripture teaches about anger and forgiveness this phrase, which is not found in the older Greek manuscripts is in fact spurious as is 1 John 5:7. |
