There is a problem here. There are too many "I" and "my". I think maybe you should back up a little bit and let the Word of GOD speak for itself and let the Holy Spirit (for He will) do His will. I have used NIV for two years and find it awesome, study Bible version is what I have.
I have read it, studied it and it obviously does a fine job for me and millions of others world wide. I'm not sure why your pointing out NIV and emphasizing its "corruption" as you state it.
So, for you to contradict yourself with "I must emphasise that this does not mean that I have a problem with other people using these other versions, this is a personal preference." then say "The few verses shown are proof enough that the NIV is a corrupt version of the bible." - obviously this doesn't help you prove much to be honest.
It is GOD that knows our hearts and GOD that the Truth, the Word comes from. He will guide each believer to the right book, the right place, the right wisdom if they seek so. I do, two years later still reading NIV which somehow you find corrupt.
You say:
"Among the NIV translation committee was a self-confessed lesbian and a pro-homosexual member, who do not believe that Homosexuality is a sin to be condemned, but rather a loving relationship acceptable to God."
What proof do you have? You may not speak anything you wish on this site without validating it with proof. Not only that, where does this "committee" lifestyle you say is true, show in the NIV translation? I still see the laws of GOD condemning homosexuality and abominations as deadly sins.
I understand your concern but I personally find them to be invalid.
