Bible Forgeries - The Word has not not been preserved

In the preface of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of the bible it states “The King James Version has with good reason been termed “the noblest monument of English prose.” “Yet the King James Version has grave defects. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the development of Biblical studies and the discovery of many manuscripts more ancient than those upon which the King James Version was based, made it manifest that these defects are so many and so serious as to call for revision of the English translation.” ⁷

The RSV has been revised by 32 scholars of the highest eminence, backed by 50 different Christian co-operating denominations. They have removed many parts of verses from the King James version (KJV) of the Bible as they were an interpolation, as a concoction, as a fabrication. ⁶

Below you will see a comparison of the verses from both the King James Version (KJV) and the Revised Standard version (RSV). The forgeries have been highlighted in bold in the verses i.e. the text bold were insertions.

Isaiah 37:1-38 (shown 1-6)

And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
