To me the footnotes in the modern versions creates doubt concerning God's Word. They are saying these words shouldn't be in the Traditional Bible. The foot notes in the Traditional translation are saying the words should be there.
There are only 2 Bible manuscript text of copies (there are no extant original manuscripts – Majority Text/Minority Text) which makes it simple to realize which one is correct; they are too different from one another and only one can claim which is the Word of God because He has given us His promise that His Word will be in the correct translation. I say "the translation" because there is only one complete unaltered version of God's Word, which are translations derived from the Majority Text, Ecclesiastical text, Received Text and Byzantine texts (all of these texts are in agreement with one another).
The "omissions" alone in the modern versions disqualifies them because the Lord Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God" (Mat 4:4). The translation is not perfect, but God's Word in the translation is complete (perfect), if it contains all of the Scriptures.
God allowed almost 500 years to pass with His Word to us, which there were only one set of manuscripts available, until they recently found the corrupted manuscripts that no copier would use, mainly because they were missing excessive passages (the modern translators took their liberty to also change this translation via interpolations and transpositions.) Thus, when the footnote that a passage or words should not be there, they are claiming that the Traditional (Majority Text) version is adding words that are not found in the Minority Text. There was no Minority Text before this discovery (1800’s). Why would God allow, at any time, esp. for half a millennium, His children to be without His Word.
