I use the KJV because when Jesus came and found me, that is the type of Bible He told me to purchase. So, consequently, I fell in love with its beauty and prose because that is what God used to open my eyes and reveal Himself to me. However, someone just sent me this video which highlights some of the differences between the KJV and the NIV: I am not saying that you should only use the KJV, but I think we should be aware of these differences and understand as well where some of these versions come from. Here is a link to some differences between the KJV and NIV: Dr. Scott Johnson also did a piece on the NIV ( www.sermonaudio.com/playpopup.asp?SID=730072143). He talks about how the board which made the modifications to the NIV consisted of an lesbian and new agers. One change is that the word "sodomite" has been erased from the NIV. The parent company that publishes the NIV also publishes pro-homosexuality books as well as the satanic bible; and is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Interesting doc that cites some of the ways in which the NIV has removed text from Scripture. Attachments:
