If this was a game on Xbox Live they “Grand Prairie Family Church” would have unlocked the “supreme ignorance” achievement.
I’m also going to drop this link here, which is just the English translations of the bible and contains no less than 7 versions of the King James bible, (not counting children’s, “easy reading” or bibles based on the King James version) which is itself a revision, for any theist to read before getting their panties in a knot.
Actually it does. Just Google a list of the verses that were left out of the popular NIV version of the Bible. It’s extensive.
Bible doesn’t change. There are, however, different versions of the Bible and different churches consider different books to be in it.

Even the article says changes are called variants. I called them versions.
English has several ones (NIV, KJV….), I’m sure you can see same thing in laguages that got an “early start” on it and competing schools/churches like German.
KJV is KJV. If it’s different version it’s not KJV but something else.
Variants are not versions and different branches of Christianity hold to different versions of the bible. Changes, omissions, both deliberate and otherwise (like changed made when Protestantism started) and changes. So yes, the bible does change. It always has, the only difference is who decides what set of books, passages etc should be included.
See TheBigBlueFrogs comment below for another example.
To say that the bible does not change is a simply wrong.
Yes, the hebrew version written back in ye olden days hasn’t changed. That’s the one you mean right?
