And your proof of this is where?ronniechoate34 said:Free said:I've already addressed this. The copyright of the NIV is owned by the International Bible Society.
What''s your point? They are simply another satanic outfit disguised under the cloak of Jesus Christ and good works. That's apparent. Why else would they allow Rupert Murdoch to hold the right to the NIV? Use some discernment when looking into these things will ya'? I can guarantee you that the IBS, or Biblica as it is now known, holds some pretty radical doctrine to be the truth, when in fact it isn't the truth at all.

Why don't you address all of the issues?

Do you want to at least provide evidence of such an assertion?ronniechoate34 said:Yes the NIV is satanic. But I don't wanna' fight about it.Aero_Hudson said:Let me make sure I understand what you are saying. The NIV translation is satanic? Really? Is that what you are claiming here?

Trust me, this is most definitely not a case of casting pearls before swine.ronniechoate34 said:Why? Does it make a difference? Of course it doesn't, and of course, I don't feel like wasting my time.Free said:Do you want to at least provide evidence of such an assertion?ronniechoate34 said:Yes the NIV is satanic.

M't:7:6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Of course it makes a difference. One cannot go about making such strong assertions about something and then not provide any evidence to back it up. Is it a waste of time to try and show the truth of a matter?
If you don't want to provide evidence that's up to you, but until you do so, your assertion will be held as utterly false.

Making a statement like that without backing it up is the same as saying everything I've said is a lie.
I have looked into much of this so-called evidence and have found the majority of it to be fallacious claims by largely very legalistic groups. If you don't want to give evidence, then don't make such claims.ronniechoate34 said:There is already a lot of evidence given by many people.

Not even close.
Timothy said:If you aren't willing to back anything up then you shouldn't have said anything. I don't like or even use NIV so don't think I'm saying for or against either view point. I don't have a view on this as it just doesn't pertain to me at all. Just making the point that you don't start an argument and not back it up, specially something like what you did.
Wisdom would have been to avoid the topic completely rather then try to convince people with statements of opinion without fact based behind it. You didn't even provide even questionable evidence, merely made a statement and called everyone swine. LOL not the best way to make an argument, and it speaks volumes in and of itself. So to save yourself from foolishness of your words I might suggest either an apology or something that explains your viewpoint. Without one or the other your just looking to stir a hornet's nest.
To truly not cast pearls before swine would mean avoiding disputable matters that you were not willing to follow through with. For the rest I would suggest proverbs 23: 9. It's not worth the trouble to argue someone who's not willing to have a real discussion.
ronniechoate34 said:You see, here is the problem. I have been over this and over this time and again with people on these forums. These people have belittled not only my intelligence but the intelligence of anyone who agrees with me. These people, these Westcott and Hort only people, they always insult my convictions and many of them deny that I have ever encountered the Holy Ghost, much less learned anything of value from Him.
If you were not going to do any of that then forgive me. But if you were then I stand by what I said, all of it, including the scripture I used.

I'll leave you all with this tidbit I got from a fortune cookie:
NIV= Nearly Inspired Version. :biglaugh
