The only difference between the NIV and the Jehovah's Witnesses Bible?
The NIV has footnotes identifying some of the verses they've removed.
Here's Acts 8:36-38 from the NIV-
Acts 8:36-38 (NIV)
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
What happened to verse 37?
Now read the same passage in the KJV.
Acts 8:36-38 (KJV)
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
So if you read the NIV, the Ethiopian eunuch never gets an answer to his question unless you read the footnote, and it's a very important answer.
If you don't believe Jesus is the Son of God with all your heart, you aren't ready to be baptized.
What's stopping you from getting baptized if you read the NIV other than a lack of water?
JW's deny the diety of Jesus Christ, say he was hung on a post, not a cross, and deny the existence of Hell. They are a non christian cult. Run, don't walk, to the nearest exit if you are a member. You can often tell a non christian cult by their avoidance of the cross. Ya, that is you too mormons.
