Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
The NIV totally omits this verse.
So half of modern scholarship want it and hald don't? Isn't that utter confusion over what is the word of God? who can we trust on these issues?
