When comparing the KJV Bible to other English translations the differences found are over 5000, which are all “textual not translational” in nature. This means the text that the NIV was taken from is not from the same manuscript that the King James Bible is taken from. Should a devote bible student trust any bible that leaves out the blood of Christ and omits entire verses. Have you trusted religious leaders that seem to think this is OK?

1Cor 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
