Many many verses missing from the NIV... things that are different are not the same. Take for instance in just one place I will use of the many I could go all night on... Act 8:37 is missing in the NIV A very very important verse in salvation. With it not being in the NIV the catholics can use this bible. Study to show thyself approved...

Sounds like you worship the KJV instead of worshipping God! I don't think God is gonna judge someone on what version they read. Hear believe repent confess be baptized live and work faithfully! You can find Gods plan for salvation in KJV or NIV I like them both!I'll be praying for you that you won't be so quick to judge people based on what translation they use!

This is what I know: God is great. And I believe our views are very close on this issue, but not quite exactly the same. Nevertheless, David, you did good. If you technically break down the following illustration, it can probably be blown away with lots of reasons why it doesn't apply here. However, let's just take it for its surface value. A magician allows someone to pick a card from a fifty-two card deck. This person has the free will to pick any one of the 52 cards. He makes his choice and the magician now mysteriously shows him which card he chose. God knows which decision we will make. God foreknows, but does not force the decision either way (which predestination implies). He offers us salvation through His Son. He offers this salvation to everyone. Will they choose God's best for them? Some will. Most won't. God knows which they will choose. But He doesn't force them to choose either. Just as the man in our illustration was not forced to choose the three of diamonds or the jack of spades or any one particular card. It doesn't matter what his choice, the magician (as if he had foreknowledge like God, which the magician actually does not have) will show him the card chosen. [To man it seems like foreknowledge; to a timeless God certainly it does not]. Everyone is offered the opportunity of restoration to God. God desires that all choose Him. Seems a bit unfair to me that some are bombarded with the gospel while others hear little of it. Yet choices are rendered each way in both scenarios. So who am I to judge the fairness of God? He is judge and not me. He is so very great and His ways are exceedingly far beyond my ways. I will trust that His dealings with all men are most righteous and right beyond my ability to measure them. But we who are receipents of HIs mercy, can have an influence and can be utilized in the salvation of others. We must do our best to lead others into a decision that pleases God and is in their best interest. Jude 23 "save others, snatching them out of the fire;" I think you think that I can think much better than I actually do. This is what I know: God is great. And I believe our views are very close on this issue, but not quite exactly the same. Nevertheless, David, you did good.
