What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

[Huggy Bear]

I think Huggy is fast asleep too. It's not a matter of "going back to the original Greek" when discussing the correctness of one manuscript over another. All the manuscripts are in Greek.

From what I gathered from the Got Questions article, translators used a certain Greek manuscript to make all different versions until very recently. They omitted the verses because archaeologists found an earlier, more credible manuscripts with the verses omitted. Because the KJV is an older translation, naturally, it is not going to be updated according to newly-found manuscripts.

Huggy, the online Greek version you are using could simply be from the less credible manuscripts.

That's speculation as far as I'm concerned, I'll need to see evidence of the above.

It's my opinion that the translation of the NIV has less to do with manuscripts and more to do with copyrights.
