Hi Y!, yes the NIV is useless as a study bible. It does not provide a translation that reflects what the inspired message is in verse after verse, as I have shown. Stick with the NASB95, NKJV, WEB, and LEB for your primary study bible and use the NIV, NET, HCSB, KJV, and others for comparison. Agenda driven translations (like the NWT, and the Purified Translation) flood the body of Christ with false theology.
