Does Murdoch own the copyright of two Bibles?

Labels: , , , , , , , ,


Upon watching a video by The ForeRunner, he referred to Rupert Murdoch as owning the copy right for two bibles. Interested, I had to check out some citations to see if this was really true. The answer surprised me. 

The Man Who Owns the News By Wolff, Michael (Google Affiliate Ad)

“His empire across the English speaking world includes not only the troubled tabs in the phone hacking scandal, as well as Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, but also Zondervan, the world's largest publisher of Bibles, which he's owned for 23 years.”( http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2011/07/did-you-buy-your-bible-from-rupert-murdoch/1)

Zondervan is also the same publisher providing material from Rick Warren, Tim Layhae and other well-known pastors.  Additionally, in 1988 Zondervan became a division of HarperCollins. Zondervan is a subsidiary of Harper Collins, which Harper Collins is owned by NewsCorp. Robert Murdoch owns News Corp. So we definitely see the link between Murdoch and Zondervan, Harper Collins, with copyrights.

So we have Murdoch, who owns Zondervan, providing the NIV bible. Note Zondervan has exclusive rights to the NIV bible. What is the other bible in question Murdoch has full copyrights too?

Would you believe it is indeed ‘ Satan’s Bible’. This is the same satanic bible written by Anton La Vey. It is published through Harper Collins, with full copyrights to Murdoch. (http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/17329/Anton_La_Vey/index.aspx)

Some do convey NewsCorp indirectly publishes both the satanic and the NIV.  However, looking at the connection, regardless it is true Murdoch owns both. It should also be pointed out Harper Collins has another publisher, Samuel Weiser Inc. Publishing.  Within this subsidiary, many New Age  bibles and pagan books are provided.

So is  Murdoch somehow destroying the gospel by providing the NIV, as well as providing the Pagan bibles and Satanic Bible?

I cannot see him in a room and personally writing out the NIV. However, it is noted a big discrepancy between the King James Version and Murdoch’s NIV when dealing with the name Lucifer. (http://www.jcsm.org/biblelessons/BBV.htm)

Isaiah 14:12 [KJV] "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!..."

Isaiah 14:12 [NIV] "How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!..."

Notice how the name Lucifer is omitted in the NIV, calling him now O morning star.

["Morning Star" is not found in any Hebrew, Greek, or Latin manuscript of Isaiah 14:12. The change from Lucifer to Morning Star is based solely on the identification of Lucifer with Venus in pagan mythology.]

My point? We need to be very careful in what we are being educated with and who owns these items of education. We are in the last days, and truth is very hard to be found.
