I confess to having difficulties with the NIV translation. I think it came about in the 60's as a way to get away from the KJV translation. It was their attempt to bring in more fans. The common man was now able to read it without the red lettering (that my mother still swears by) and the stilted language.

When you compare the greek translation of the Bible with the NIV version, there are huge differences. Just another iron to throw into the fire.
