Totally agree. But, what does the Lord think about versions of His word that contain untruths? Do you think He sees that as a good practice? Reading so called Scripture that cannot be trusted 100%? Why would He put so much emphasis on trusting Scripture and not preserve it for us? How can we be sanctified by truth, if we don't have it?
so, God is book??? alrighty then......................
John 6:63 KJV
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
From Johm 6:63 we know 1) the spirit brings life and 2) the spirit that brings life is the words that Jesus spoke. The words that Jesus spoke are written in a book. The spirit that quickens resides in the book that contains the words of Jesus.

Why do Christians argue about Bible versions? I don't understand why they do that. Maybe I just don't get into things enough to have an opinion about what version is best, but I don't understand why Christians argue about scripture either. It's either in the Bible or it's not.
I've got a KJV Bible, but that's what was gifted to me. It's what I read when I got saved. It's good enough for me. Aren't a lot of the other versions copyrighted or something which is why they are so different? AFAIK to copyright a derivative work you have to change a minimum of 10% of the original to not infringe on the original.

IF that is the case, then the NIV quote is just as valid as the KJV as no one knows what came out of Nebuchadnezzar's mouth.
It is more likely he said Son of the gods, as he was a Pagan, or are you saying he was really a closet Jew? Point is he recognised that another figure inside the furnace was a spiritual being with divine powers, which could easily just be an angel.
Are you implying that if someone reads the NIV verse they will end up thinking "Oh Jesus was son of the gods" ? I think if anyone came to that conclusion they must have lowest IQ on the planet, especailly if they have read the New Testament first.

What we DO know from Scripture is that God has promised to preserve His words. He says Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His words shall not pass away. He also says The Scripture cannot be broken. The Bible also tells us that God is a God of truth and He cannot lie. If I find lies in a "bible" version, then I know this is not the true words of God. This would be things like teaching that the children of Israel DECEIVED God as the NASB, NET versions have it in Psalm 78:36. Or that Jesus Christ had "origins" as the NIV, RSV, ESV 2001 edition have it in Micah 5:2. Or that teach that Jesus lied in John 7:8-10 as the NASB, ESV and NIV 2011 teach.
Yet God tells us to search out and read "the book of the LORD" (Isaiah 34:16), so such a book must exist somewhere. It is NOT in the varied Hebrew texts; that is only part of a bible. It certainly is not in the thousands of variant readings in piles of manuscript scraps in Greek that few can read and that do not make up a Bible either.
Either God has acted in history to bring us "the book of the LORD" or He lied and is not to be trusted.

The other alternative is you are deluded and manipulating verses to promote your cults worship of the King James Bible. That does not tell me the King James is perfect.
You tried to convince me the error in NIV with son of gods, but all I see is contradictions of what you say in each post, seems you can not even stick to same story. When the surface is scratched away with your claims, the real flaws come out.
