    A translation that accurately communicates the meaning of the original language texts.

    No ... it means that you did not prove they were missing. What it proved is that it is different than the KJV. As I told you earlier, the evidence shows that the KJV added to the word of God in many places.

    Because there is good reason to believe that Luke didn't write it but a later copyist added it in.

    Because there is evidence for both sides, but they believed that the evidence leads to the conclusion that it was added. Since they do not want to add to God's word, they put it in the margin.

    For the sake of uniformity in locating various things.

    The bottom line is that the NIV, like the KJV, is a good and faithful translation of God's word.

    No,he said the niv was only good for a placemat, table prop, etc. He made no mention about the niv being a Bible. </font>[/QUOTE]But the NIV is a Bible and when he said it should be table prop or a coaster, he was talking about the Bible. Come on ... this is simple stuff.

    Absolutely.

    If that is what you want to believe and falsely spread, that is your prerogative. But there were many more manuscripts that were considered other than the two that you are probably alluding to. Fact. Reality. If you want to deny that, go ahead. Nevermind the fact that some of the 'omissions' in question are not even in the majority of Byzantine texts. :rolleyes:

    P.S. Good try at changing the subject. ;) Even IF what you say was true, it doesn't change the falsity of the statement I was addressing. [​IMG]

    If you would bother reading the Scripture I posted you would see that man and Satan will OMIT parts of God's word.
    </font>[/QUOTE]I agree.

    No, I don't deny it at all. Now, back to the question:

    If it's possible to also add to the word of God, how do you know it didn't happen in Acts 8:37?

    Interesting results. The acceptability to others is higher than what I was expecting it to be. Especially the preaching/personal study stats. Not that I am complaining, I am actually pleasantly suprised. [​IMG]
