KJV verses missing in NIV

First of all, one version cannot be compared to another to get any realistic understanding of whether something is wrong or missing. KJV and NIV side by side doesnt tell us anything. BOTH could be wrong.
Any translation has to be compared to the Greek / Hebrew manuscripts to know if something is missing or rendered incorrectly.

Wrong. You might as well throw the bible away if you don't know whether or not it's the word of God. God showed us at Pentecost that he is perfectly capable of passing along His word in any language. God is absolutely as present in translations as he was in the original manuscripts. He didn't just reveal himself to those who spoke Hebrew and Greek. he has revealed himself to all nations. All one has to have is the indwelling Holy Spirit to discern the truth of any translation.
 
I said this before in another similar thread: When the NIV chooses to "leave out" a particular verse for whatever reason, it always includes it in the footnotes with something like "some manuscripts include..." If the reader takes the time to look down at the footnotes, s/he won't miss out on anything. I don't believe the NIV purposely excludes pertinent information simply to advance its own agenda. I truly believe its "authors" sought to provide the most accurate text that modern English would allow. JMO

Exactly. I've always said that if the NIV translators purposely took some verses out to deny certain doctrines, they did a very poor job since they left all the other corroborating verses in there.
