Those people need to read that KJV that they love so much! It seems that they seem to have somehow misinterpreted the Shakespearian grammar. Seriously though, there are two camps of KJV people: One is the traditionalist who loves it because there is a sentimental tie to it and the conviction that it is a holier language (ever noticed how they slip into KJV speak when they pray?), and secondly there is the scholar who appreciates the literalism of the KJV. The scholar who is very spiritually minded might be against the NIV because many of its translators are liberals and because they used a system of textual criticism which basically says that there are variations of meaning in ancient manuscripts (that is why your NIV suggests that most early manuscripts don't have the last part of Mark). I love the KJV's accuracy and poetry, but also like the plain English of the NIV. If I were studying a particular passage I would look at both and then refer the the key Greek words, tenses etc. Can you trust the NIV? By enlarge yes, but it is always good to look at the KJV, and the New KJV for clarification.

These are two very common English translations of the Holy Bible. NIV= New International Version and KJV is the King James Version. And by the way, the King James Version was first published in 1611, not 1911.

KJV- King James Version-- This was the version that King James of England in the 1600s commissioned... The wording is sometimes kind of archaic, a little harder to understand...
NIV- New International Version-- This is an updated version. The wording is more modern, modern grammar, vocabulary...

These are different translations of the ancient texts. KJV is the King James Version, produced in the 17th century. NIV is the New International Version, produced in the 20th Century.
