Went to Church yesterday

I went to Church yesterday. Normal service, as usual, except when they read "Acts Chapter 8" verse 37 was omitted from their Bible.

The verse in question is "And Philip said, if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

I have a Kings James Bible from my Mother's school, I bring it up to my Church members and show them the missing verse in the end they gave me their own Bible to read as a free gift.

Why is the verse missing in the first place? Well according to Got questions they believe and I quote "that the translators did not believe these verses should have been in the Bible to begin with. Since the KJV was translated in A.D. 1611, many Biblical manuscripts have been discovered that are older and more accurate than the manuscripts the KJV was based on. When Bible scholars researched through these manuscripts, they discovered some differences. It seems that over the course of 1500 years, some words, phrases, and even sentences were added to the Bible (either intentionally or accidentally). The verses mentioned above are simply not found in the oldest and most reliable manuscripts. So, the newer translations remove these verses or place them in footnotes or in the margin because they do not truly belong in the Bible"

From a conspiracies point of view, the film "New World Order: Bible versions" explains from Pastor Steven Anderson claims that The word of God is being attacked, in particular Jesus Christ, and the new Bible versions want to shatter the faith of the Bible.

I've played Call of Juarez today for at least 2 hours today. Its a good game but it does have problems. I feel very conflicted about video games and the Bible.
