Anyone who has ran around in the KJVO circles will know that the KJVO-ers have a lot of reasons why they believe that all the new translations are evil. Here we would like to address just one of those reasons. According to the KJVO movement, the NIV has purposefully schemed to remove the name of Jesus. But the evidence doesn’t really add up. In fact, the evidence is pointing quite to the opposite conclusion.<\/p>\n

\n

Did the new Bible versions remove the name of Jesus from the text?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Here are some online sources to demonstrate that such absurd claims are indeed being made. I am sure some google-ing could produce a dozen more.<\/p>\n

As quoted directly from one such KJVO website…<\/p>\n

The King James Bible is\u00a0INSPIRED<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0PRESERVED<\/b>. Those ministers and professed Christians who claim that the Bible is not worth fighting over do not love the Lord Jesus Christ. The King James Bible faithfully uplifts the precious name of Jesus. In the Godless and corrupt\u00a0New International Version<\/i>\u00a0[NIV] of the Bible, the name above every other name, Jesus, is removed in\u00a038 places<\/b>. They hate Jesus. There were\u00a0homosexuals on the translating committee\u00a0of the NIV Bible. Why would any pastor fail to see the evils of the NIV? Not surprisingly, the word \u201csodomite\u201d was completely removed from the NIV. They’re suppressing the truth! Romans 1:25 in the King James Bible warned that men would change the truth of God into a lie. Beware of all modern Bibles. (Source<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
