Clarity about "Missing Verses"
Q: I am new to Bible studying, started a few months ago and I take it seriously. I started with NIV but always cross reference to KJV and have found some things that weren’t the same or missing.
The NIV is going to get a lot of people in trouble.
Last night I read Scripture and it was completely different when compared!
I am so disturbed right now.
A: Missing as in verses? This can clarify that.
And this explains & clarifies too...
Scribes added to make a story flow at the end or had added a handed down story close to manuscript writing timeframe, but earlier manuscripts show those were not in there and so reputable Bible translators today removed those... as they don't belong there. Those Scribes wrongly added to Scripture. God preserves His Word and will keep it pure.
As to NIV it has gender alterations after 1984 and is advised to stay away from that translation and it's related versions.
There are diff versions in English for a reason, you can learn about that here, but the Solid versions are NASB95, LSB21. You can get a study Bible in those versions at the above link and reputable free Bible apps too, to hell you understand it as you read, they are a true blessing.
These are common questions people and new believers have in English countries, among with other questions when they run into a difficulty. You can always ask your Sunday School teacher or Decons, Elders or Pastor(s) about things you encounter and have difficulty with from Scripture or even topics related to Christianity. A benefit of the local church is to help educate and assist with our growth. No question is stupid, so don't let pride stop you from asking. They won't think less of you, and by asking it may help others there to find out about that faq too. Everyone comes to Christ at varying ages and grow at a different speed... and many new and growing believers have never had these questions answered, so ask. Many end up blessed by you finding these things out. 😊✨️
God bless
