I'm trying to find out what the notations in my NIV 2011 version is showing me. At Acts 25:23, right under the header, it reads "26:12-18pp-- Ac 9:3-8; 22:6-11". What does this notation mean?
So many blank statements in this video that could mean just anything I want it to mean which shows the lack of integrity behind these folks, which doesn't surprise me since their Bible efforts are from a money-driven motivation. God has never been priority for the NIV publishers and creators. After all, Zondervan also publishes satanic books. On top of that, the translation is junk baby food for the naive. Sad so many people think this is actually a good Bible.
With all due respect, please compare the NIV and KJV of John 16:25. There are many clues in the bible and modern translation has removed many of them. The scripture should lead someone seeking God to the book of Proverbs. We should read proverbs to find wisdom. Please read Proverbs 1. I stumbled upon this. I won a Ligionier study Bible nkjv. The church used niv and during a studying I found a huge difference in meaning. Then I compared nkjv to kjv and found more important clues (commandments) God is amazing and no one wiser.
The NIV 2011 is not based on ignorance the 2011 NIV Bible was updated because the English language has changed and proved they will be some changes from the 1984 NIV Bible to the 2011 NIV Bible but it's still the word of God.
He was a slave trader, a killer, a rapist. While this makes for a good story that he was transformed and forgiven, I propose that there are some acts for which an individual cannot be redeemed.
John Butcher there is no proof god exists and there are those that require proper punishment by men for their acts. Imagine if he had done these acts to your family....would you forgive him raping killing and enslaving your loved ones? Or would you exact vengeance?
Can anyone suggest what is the best book on the biography of John newton..? . I have heard of Once Blind, From Disgrace to amazing grace etc. But what is the best from theological point of view...
In the end when we all have to face our sins, our faults, the life we have lived on earth, we will know the answer to all of your questions then, and only then. God asks that we love unconditionally and forgive as His son did. It is not for us to judge each other but to love!
Thank you. I am pretty much a KJV only person but I use an ESV for reference when I don't understand something in the KJV. If it isn't in the old english it doesn't sound like the Bible. I wish they would do a KJV of it. I will check this one out. Thanks so much Mark Phillips.
Where did Lucifer come from "that kid?" It came STRAIGHT out of Jerome's Latin Vulgate! Lucifer is Latin, it belongs in NO English bible translation! The Hebrew word that the Holy Spirit inspired was "heylel" which literally mean "daystar"
So...transliterations are never acceptable? We can't have "angel" or "apostle" then? Or does it only count when it's a transliteration from the original language? We better scour the NIV to make sure it doesn't have a single English word that derived from Latin!
LUCIFER is not "dervived" from Latin, is IS Latin! Pick up St Jerome's Latin Vulgate and find Is 14:12, unless you can read Latin, you'll only understand one word in that verse, LUCIFER! The Holy Spirit of God inspired the bible in Hebrew and Greek, NO Latin! The Hebrew word that God inspired at Is 14:12 is "heylel" which literally means "daystar" The AV 1611 has a footnote here that reads "or O day Starre"
Don't overstate your case. The Greek New Testament contains Latinisms, so it's not as clear-cut as you'd like to believe. Should we translate "Legion" in a different way since it's a Latin word in an otherwise Greek text? Many theological terms also derive from Latin, such as "propitiation," and plenty of English translations still use that term to translate the Greek "hilasterion." How is that any different than "lucifer"?
Don't try to muddy the waters. We KNOW what the Holy Spirit inspired, "heylel" We KNOW that Lucifer in no way shape or form comes from "heylel" The KJV translators knew this too, but caved to popular opinion and left in the Latin "Lucifer" they even provided the actual translation of "heylel" in a margin note at Is 14;12 "or O day Starre" Jerome's Vulgate had been used and was extremely popular by the time of the KJV, in fact it had been used for mor than 1100 hundred years and "Lucifer" had become very popular, and they (KJV translators) made a command decision to leave it in, and include the footnote! It's not terribly complicated!
Lucifer does come from heylel. There's nothing wrong with borrowing Latinisms when Latin is the basis for much of our theological terminology. The NKJV retains "Lucifer" and footnotes "Day Star" just as its predecessor did, allowing for a slight distinction in translation between ἑωσφόρος (Isa. 14.12 LXX) and φωσφόρος (2 Pet. 1.19). The RSV/ESV opts for a similar solution, using "Day Star" in Isaiah and "morning star" in 2 Peter. The NIV is sloppy here, as usual, inviting the critiques of the Ruckmanites.
Compare Isaiah 14:12 in the NIV with the KJV version. Then look at Revelation 22:16 in the KJV. Jesus is the morning star, but the NIV calls Lucifer the morning star in Isaiah 14:12. NO! Jesus is the morning star, not Lucifer. Jesus didn't try to be God, Jesus IS God. NIV is a satanic counterfeit. A Perversion by the Catholic Church. The KJV is the perfect word of God for the English speaker, there is no need to update it, or even add to it like Isaiah 14:12.
That is amazing...you learn something everyday...Thank U Lord for educating me today on this subject (" Now ill have to check the rest of this movie out ("
Many speak of "accepting" Grace,but Grace is unmerited favor given from the one who possesses it,we can't except it anymore than a babe accepting his life,it is a gift not asked for or deserved that's what GRACE is.
What foolishness. Newton was moved by conscience to give up his life as a slave trader. If the song is a "disgrace," as you claim, why has it been embraced by blacks?
And please tell me you know that Paul and many of those early christians wrote in Greek and not in English the original copies of the books of the bible were not anywhere close to English/American.
Dude... seriously where in God's Word does He say thou shalt preserve thine King James edition? And if the KJV is the only right version than what's wrong with the NKJV? It corrects mistakes in the KJV (which by the way there are mistakes, the 1611 had spelling errors... come on), as far as some mistakes go it corrects them by switching the greek text to the majority text (which is superior to the textus receptus).
I started with NIV for about 10 years the nkjv for about 2 year and now kjv for the past 3 years. HUGE difference for me. I find clues in kjv that aren't in the others. God knows and weighs the hearts so I'm not saying it keeps anyone from God. However, there are some humorous things...God has funny sense of humor which is not reflected in newer translations
Perhaps they have not been given Gods mercy. Romans 9:11Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad-in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:12not by works but by him who calls13Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. 14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15,“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion”16It does not, therefore, depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
I find it interesting to find comments posted here, under the song title of Amazing Grace, to be anything but Grace inspired. As usual people flee to RU-vid to insult and disrespect. Fine examples of why the human race would always be lost if not for the Grace of God.
John pickup the hymmming/ murmiming songs of the slaves when they were forced on the boat and they knew all of them will never return. Those voices must have remained with John all his life.It must be wonderful to know that God reminded him give back those voices and translate the words for us to understand What a joy
He makes it sound like the 1984 niv was unreadable. He is a LIAR! The 2011niv is the tniv that fundamentalist rejected. It is a poor translation compared to the 1984niv! Shame on the cbt translation thought police. They made a bible for 'progressive' culture! Yes they think you people are that dumb as to accept it! They claim it is new? LIARS! The tniv came out in 2003. Yes the 2011niv is basically identical! YOU HAVE BEEN HAD!!!
There wasn't part of the NIV manuscript a lot of people call them missing scriptures but the NIV manuscript did not have those scriptures like that King James Bible and the new King James Bible does a lot of the new modern Bibles don't have those scriptures. But they are in the footnotes so they're not missing check them out in the footnotes.
Was this manJohn Newton really regetfull for his action? Even though this is one of the most grace filled songs ever written. I need to know if this man was a true believer or was he a man masquerading as a believer?
His life speaks for itself. He served as a spiritual father to the man who effectively championed the ending of the Transatlantic Slave trade. If that isn't fruit worthy of repentance as Scripture demands, I don't know what is.
God created the Hebrew & Greek Bible, Man translated that into English, technically if you really want to read the real Bible you need to read it in Hebrew & Greek.
That is the whole point it is "Amazing Grace" He was forgiven and could move on, away from his terrible deeds of the past because of what Christ did on the cross . I hope you too can accept this amazing grace from God as we all have fallen short and need the forgiveness and the new life that our Lord offers us . I pray that your eyes will be opened as Johns were so long ago and as mine were a few years ago .. me who was once a a drug dealer and a criminal ..I once was lost and now am found .
Ah........ I don't know why Christians and fans of John Newton try to hide the real identity of John Newton when he was a slave owner/investor before and after he wrote the song Amazing Grace. I would respect John Newton more if they would have told the truth story about him. To said Amazing Grace was a song of hope for the hopeless is a disrespect to the slaves who were traded, killed, and owned by John Newton cause Newton was the one who wrote it. What a disgrace.
Who's hiding his identity? The movie plainly says who he is and what he did...and how he repented for it. If God can forgive him - as a black woman - so can I. Let's not forget the greatest apostle who wrote 2/3 of the New Testament was a persecutor of those who followed the same faith he later adopted after a drastic encounter with the resurrected Son of God. Newton may not have had a vision, but he certainly had a revelation. He has made a great contribution to Christianity and the world as a whole. I honour him for it.
Amen. God has spoken. Not through my feelings or intuition... but in his Word. I am thankful for good translations of the Bible - such as the NIV (advertised here) and the ESV (esv.org)
this is so wrong the king james verison is the truth and the only truth because in the niv there are over 3000 mistakes and in the king james verison there are no mistakes because God created the king james verison
There's no mistakes in it and NIV Bible the manuscript that they found those scriptures are not found in that manuscript for the NIV Bible and a King James Bible is an old translation from 1611 that we do not speak that way that's why we have the new modern Bible for today's english.
He didn't just suddenly have a crisis of conscience. The ship was about to sink when he heard a sound rise up from below, the voices of the prisoners. The confident vibration of their voices calmed the storm. That is what struck John Newton, that was the amazing grace that unblinkered his eyes, his heart. He turned the ship about and returned the people to their homeland, before sailing back to England. He wrote the words to Amazing Grace, using the tune he'd heard sung by his prisoners.
