And why?
I personally read King James (I love olde English) but a lot of people like the NIV
NIV is pozzed. It removes gendered language in places to be gender neutral when it's not supposed to
The 2011 update to the NIV is what is pozzed. The original version released in 1984 (the version I grew up with) didn't contain these problems, even if in hindsight it had a set of flaws of its own.
This is made worse by the publisher's subsequent efforts to memoryhole the original version, going as far as to take down all digitally uploaded copies of the original. If I were to make the skinwalker comparison to bible translations, the NIV is it.
I'd be willing to post comparisons to both versions if you are interested.
It was sanitized so as not to name.
