For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." -Romans 13:1 (KJV)<BR/>I can see where the writers of the New International Version would use "government officials" instead of "higher powers", but when you read on through the chapter, it makes it seem like the officials are in the church rather than in the government:<BR/>"For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing." -Romans 13:6 (KJV)<BR/>Other scriptures from the King James Version refer to these "higher powers" as ministers or leaders of the church instead of the goverment officials. The New International Version is a modern-day, "biblical-based" translation that seems to have changed the true meaning of God's Word. That's why I use this translation as a resource rather than the actual bible; the New International Version has been morphed into a book of opinion instead of the bible. How will this translation be taken in the next one-hundred years? People will forget about the change and think about it as the true gospel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19211014.post-45199199968405163732008-11-06T10:35:00.000-05:002008-11-06T10:35:00.000-05:00I read that verse just two nights ago!
