Andreas, I am heavily interested in learning if you can tell me
_where_ are the paragraphs, phrases or words that you suspect for
having been "edited" ("corrupted") in the NIV!

Could you please tell me and quote a few texts which (in your opinion)
are more accurate in the King james Version than in the New
International Version?

I am especially interested in such texts inside the New Testament,
we could then compare it to the testamentum graece to see which
version is more correct.

OK for you?

Karl-Heinz
