I could you several other verses to make my point but I feel that it is not necessary as it is very clear what is going on. All of the modern translations of the Bible come from the corrupted Catholic manuscripts!!! Notice how they read almost word for word with the Catholic Bible (NAB). See how very different they are to the King James Version. Look how they completely take out the same verses as the Catholic Bible. Revelation 22:18,19 state. “For I testify unto every man that hearth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and the from the things which are written in this book.” If that was not enough, the Jehovah's Witness Bible reads just like the Catholic and modern ones. Be careful what Bible you are using it may be the Devil’s Bible.
