Yes, it was clearly translated that way to support atheists.

I am not a KJV Onlyist. First, my question in the OP were honest and it was answered in the manner that it was posted by others.

Second, I was only expressing how I feel about the NIV. Someone needed an explanation so I brought up the Duet 22:28-29 passage.

I didn't realized it after you guys admitted the passage was a mistranslation, and now you guys started accusing me of KJV Onylist which I am not.

But hey, surprised it went both way ain't it?

Because the ones usually attacking the NIV as "liberal" are KJV-Onlyists who are entirely ignorant of the process of translation.

And we've had a few KJVO types who were also geocentricists.

Ok. I apologize for the accusation.

I get as many translations as I can and go back to the Hebrew Lexicon to study it out for myself. I don't just rely on the KJV. I like it, but it's not the only one.

I see. I am a advocate of Geo. I believe the bible taught it.

The NIV is still comparatively superior to the KJV in terms of translation.

As a Christian, I must reject such a claim.

One can reasonably attack the NIV as being a worse translation than usual (all translations having disadvantages of one sort or another). E.g. N T Wright has said that anyone using the NIV will never understand Paul. There are other problems as well. But accusing it of being "liberal" is typically a KJV-only charge. That why people assumed you were KJV only.
