Why is the NIV a bad translation?
The translators of the NIV make executive decisions on ambiguous passages, rather than preserving the ambiguity. You can see this if you compare, for example, the text of Romans in the KJV with the text of Romans in the NIV.
Why is KJV better than NIV?
The NIV is accurate, readable, and clear, yet true to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek of the Bible. The KJV was the Authorized Version being translated via the Antioch manuscript textline, and also the New Testament being translated from the Textus Receptus.
