Hi .. Just a tweak here .. I tend to doubt that he has "faith in the NIV" .. other than as an acceptable version .. more like "faith in the generic unspecific Bible versions".

Incidentally, while Debau's warning is very sensible, I would not want to consider it as impossible that even a hired gun of the modern version industrial complex could not some day hear the simple truth of the purity of God's word .. I think of Frank Logsdon who worked on the NASV and then realized that he had made a terrible error and repented of those mistaken efforts. However Debau's scripture verse sharing and suggestion make a lot of sense in this situation, any movement towards truth by a professional Bible corrector comes to calloused hearts with very great difficulty, as they have a whole system of peer and professional acceptance and reinforcement and reward that precludes the possibility that God's word is truly 100% pure and perfect and able to be read by the ploughman.

Shalom,
Steven
