Things that are different are not the same and both cannot be correct.
God’s Holy Word says in Luke 2:13-14
13 ¶ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Man-made books, claiming to be equal with God’s Holy Word, such as the NIV. and most others say,
"Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests”.
First of all, how is what they wrote any easier to understand than what God‘s Holy Word says? There is no reason to rewrite God’s Holy Word, unless,
Secondly, and more important, is that the last phrase of verse 14 was changed to say something totally different than what the Bible says. It was changed to teach the false doctrine of Calvinism. Claiming that there are some whom God’s favor rests on, and some whom God‘s favor does not rest on.
This teaches, that Jesus, the prince of peace bringing the peace of God to the whole world is not to everyone only certain ones that God has chosen to give his favor to. Calvinism!
God‘s Holy Word clearly teaches us that on earth God’s peace and goodwill is to all mankind.
Jesus is God’s Goodwill gift of Hope and Peace to the entire world. Salvation is to and for everyone.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
