Another Look at the Authorized King James Bible

As I was searching the web for the Abortion video, The Hard Truth, I came across the following blog:

Kristina's Keepsakes: The Hard Truth- Viewer Discretion Advised- Abortion Video

What caught my eye immediately on this blog was the note on the upper right hand corner:

"All scripture used in this blog is from the Authorized King James Bible. Permission given by Author"

I could say the same thing with My Gospel Project. I think. There was a period in my life when I literally did not have access to an Authorized King James Bible, and so I memorized a bunch of verses from the
NIV and I've never bothered to go back and 'rememorize' those verses out of the Authorized KJV.

Nevertheless, I am a big fan of the King James Version Bible.  As I was looking through Kristina's blog, I picked up my Bible, my Authorized King James Bible, and I slowly started looking through the first pages to see if I could find a copyright notice. There was none.

Then I picked up an NIV Bible that I have near my desk. Here is what I found:

"The Holy Bible, New International Version, 1978, by the New York International Bible Society"

Then about half way down the page we are given limited permission to copy parts of this Bible:

"This copyrighted material may be quoted and/or reprinted for non-commercial purposes up to and inclusive of fifty (50) verses without express written permission of the publisher, providing the following credit line appears with the material being quoted: Taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version, 1978, by the New York International Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers."

Interesting. Who owns Zondervan again? Oh, ya, Rupert Murdoch. Let me see if I have this right. Rupert Murdoch owns News Corporation, which owns both Zondervan -publisher of the NIV Bible - and HarperCollins, which publishes the Satanic Bible.  (See Largest Christian Publisher Zondervan, is a Division of HarperCollins, Which Publishes The Satanic Bible)

And this is who I would have to get 'written' permission from if I wanted to quote more than 50 verses from the NIV Bible on this site. No thanks. I'll stick with my Authorized King James Bible. The Author of that Bible, our Lord Jesus Christ, has given me his full permission to quote as many verses from that book as I want to.

Rupert Murdoch Calls Scientology 'Creepy, Maybe Evil'

Rupert Murdoch: Scientologists ‘creepy, maybe even evil’ | The Lookout - Yahoo! News:


I agree with Mr. Murdoch's assessment of Scientologists/ Scientology. It is a 'creepy' religion. But I question who Rupert Murdoch is  to be making such a judgment.

Rupert Murdoch owns Zondervan, one of the world's largest publishers of Bibles, including the New International Version. Rupert Murdoch also owns HarperCollins Publishing Company, which publishes the Satanic Bible. HarperCollins Publishers, in turn, owns the copyright to the New International Version Bible.

So Rupert Murdoch owns the copyrights to both the NIV and the Satanic Bible. That's creepy!

In addition to publishing the New International Version Bible and the Satanic Bible, Rupert Murdoch's company, HarperCollins, publishes numerous anti-Biblical books like these:

The Joy of Gay Sex
Askmen.com presents from Bar to the Bedroom
How to love like a hot chick
Encyclopedia of 5000 spells
The Necronomicon
When Satan wore a cross

If you log onto Rupert Murdoch's publishing company, HarperCollins, and type into their search engine The Satanic Bible and the New International Version Bible, you will get the following results:


  • man's body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. "Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure," he said, "there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence . . ." .Satanic Bible
    Mass Market PB
    On sale: 12/1/1976
  • The classic Robertson/Broadus Harmony of the Gospels ,newly revised for students of the New International Version .. The NIV Harmony of the Gospels
    Hardcover
    On sale: 7/6/1988
That's very Creepy, Mr. Murdoch! And definitely evil!
