The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, depends not upon the testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God. - Westminster Confession of Faith 1:4 (emphases added).
The Old Testament in Hebrew (which was the native language of the people of God of old), and the New Testament in Greek (which, at the time of the writing of it, was most generally known to the nations), being immediately inspired by God, and, by His singular care and providence, kept pure in all ages, are therefore authentical;[17] so as, in all controversies of religion, the Church is finally to appeal unto them.[18] But, because these original tongues are not known to all the people of God, who have right unto, and interest in the Scriptures, and are commanded, in the fear of God, to read and search them,[19] therefore they are to be translated in to the vulgar language of every nation unto which they come,[20] that, the Word of God dwelling plentifully in all, they may worship Him in an acceptable manner;[21] and, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, may have hope. - Westminster Confession of Faith 1:8 (emphases added).
Bible Versions Controversy EXPLAINED (full sermon) by The Underground Christian Network (free MP3) This is an easy-to-understand overview of the Bible version controversy. It contains a lot of shocking information that all Christians need to know. From the occult leanings of the fathers (Hort and Westcott) of the faulty texts underlying virtually all modern Bible translations, to the amazing story of how Satan has worked through history to corrupt the Bible, this fascinating message is jam packed with facts you will hear in many other places. The summary attached to this MP3 reads (with slight modifications): "In simple words, this message explains to you dangerous trends and teachings in the so-called 'modern versions of the Bible.' This message takes you through the 'new versions' (NIV, NASV, NRSV, etc. -- NKJV is covered in part 2) and lets you see with your own eyes some of the things these corrupted versions have DELETED FROM the Bible, the anti-Christian doctrines added to the 'new versions,' and even some of the occult teachings added to the 'new versions'! A must hear for all Christians."
