Concerning the N.I.V.

Please consider the following:

NIV--it deletes over 64,000 words
Acts 8:37 in the NIV you will read, 36As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch
said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"
:38And he ordered the chariot to stop. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip
baptized him.
CHILDREN'S NIV. Look up the missing verses, there is something you will not believe. Look up Matt 17:21
and of course, it is missing, however, in the Children's Bible it was typed out like this 20/21 and the 21st verse
was still missing. They make you think that you read the 21st verse but it still is just the 20th verse! Can you
believe it? If you want to look for yourself, find the CHILDREN'S NIV BIBLE, and see for yourself.

Mark 16:9-20 (all 12 verses) -- There is a line separating the last 12 verses of Mark from the main text. Right
under the line it says: [The two most reliable early manuscripts do not have Mark 16:9-20] (NIV, 1978 ed.) The
Jehovah's Witness "Bible" also places the last 12 verses of Mark as an appendix of sorts.

one think that people can be baptized and saved without believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Sounds Catholic.
