I have problems too when we who are supposed to be "people of the Book" start cutting out verses.
I have some "problems" with some stuff in the Old Testament, like "was the flood universal?" and "how did the sun stand still?" I consider myself a fundamentalist (or funnymentalist) and think of the Bible as inspired and infallible. Inspired in that the original writings were "God breathed." Infallible in that what we have today is really God's true message to us and if (notice I said IF) there are any errors they are minor enough to not make eternal differences.
I remember someone telling about a preacher who had a KJV with Roman numerals in it and he was talking about I, II, and III John and the way he said it it came out like "one eye John, two eye John, and three eye John."
I also remember as a teenager in the Baptist church sitting there with another guy I went to school with. He was looking at his KJV (that's all we used back then) and saw where it spoke about "the catholic epistle of Peter" etc. He asked, "How come our Bibles don't say 'the Baptist epistle of Peter?'"
