Welcome to the Amazing Westcott and Hort Magic Marker Binge!
The chart below illustrates what was done when the text used by Christianity for 1800 years was replaced with a text assembled by Brook Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort in the nineteenth century and used as the basis for the English Revised Version, which nearly all modern translations closely follow.
The text shown here is the King James Version. Words, sentences, or entire verses in strikethrough illustrate portions that have been removed from the traditional text underlying the KJV New Testament to make the modern critical text. Not all modern versions are the same. Sometimes the ESV will include a word the NIV doesn't, or the NASB might omit a phrase the NIV and NRSV both retain, etc... but for the most part, the examples below represent nearly all of the popular modern versions. (Psudeo-KJV versions such as the NKJV are far more subtle and are a different case. See the articles section for NKJV examinations.)
Compare your modern version and see what the KJV has that yours doesn't. This list is not comprehensive, it is just a sample! The modern critical text that forms the basis for nearly all modern versions omits the equivalent of the entire books of 1st and 2nd Peter.

I don't see what difference it would make. The Bible has had entire books removed, going back to the council of Nicea, or even further back to the council of Jerusalem.

It's like knowing that social media has deleted something: First, it means some street cred. Second, as soon as we detect a pattern, we know what they are up to. Most of the changes of the Bible were made to get rid of Jesus, to downgrade him to a prophet like Mohammed.

There were a lot of "antichrists" in the early church trying to corrupt God's word / church. There were many Christians who kept alive God's word and were martyred or escaped the Roman persecutions ex. Waldenses. We have no idea what and why things were removed but we can be sure God wouldn't leave us without his word. It is not important to have everything that was ever written on God. Look at the early Christians who died before they would compromise their belief in Christ. They mostly had word of mouth but their faith was strong.

King James Bible is God's word in English. Accept no substitutes. If you have a choice, go for the 1611 edition of the King James Bible. Remember, the leftists can't mess with your Bible if it was published almost 400 years before they were born.

Absolutely! I read the AKJV and the 1599 Geneva Bible. I go to the corrupted versions when I am trying to understand difficult portions.

Yes. I cross out everything but the words directly attributed to Jesus and the Revelation of St. John.

Ha - good retort!
Seriously, not all Christians consider the government-created Bible to be an essential to belief. That is mainly an evangelical viewpoint that has seeped into the mainstream of corporate controlled Christianity. Instead of gathering the flock, the Bible is primarily used to separate believers into opposing factions based on which sections are considered valid. I simply refuse to play the game and stick to the basics.

There's a good video lecture called "Total Onslaught" by Walter Veith. He does a great job at explaining the bible, the messed up interpretations and how stick with the basics. He goes through how freemasonry and other secret societies have influenced things.
You are correct, governments have known throughout the ages that the way to temporal power is through religious power. Just be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water.
