KJV verses removed from newer bibles

The OP is incorrect. @Lewis HB is assuming that other translations of God's Word used the KJV as their source document. That is the only way they could remove verses.

Newer translations more accurately translate Scripture into English than did the KJV. The KJV translators used some fairly poor translation methods in several instances.

But the difference between many translations and the KJV is the manuscripts used. These use older manuscripts which do not include several verses repeated which are repeated. So many newer translations include the text but note that they are not present in older manuscripts.

So, then, it is obviously your claim that there is no clear standard, that there is no clear truth, that there is only a host/ chaos of differing opinions.
That is one of the reasons that the present world has abandoned The Faith, when everyone has a differing Bible, Gospel, and a different Jesus.
Such chaos is not of God.
Lewis, you jump to a wrong conclusion as you improperly try to put words in my mouth that I did not say. You seem to assume incorrectly that I supposedly accept and advocate the Critical Text when I do not.

I did not suggest at all that there is no clear standard. Just as they were the standard before 1611, the preserved Scriptures in the original languages remain the standard and greater authority for the making and trying of all Bible translations including the KJV. The faith once delivered to the saints did not include a modern, non-scriptural KJV-only view.

According to the KJV itself, having respect to persons to one exclusive group of Church of England men in 1611 would be to commit sin (James 2:9). The wisdom from God above is without partiality (James 3:16) while human KJV-only wisdom shows partiality to the KJV translators. As I noted earlier, the KJV itself does not state nor teach that the word of God is bound to the textual criticism decisions, Bible revision decisions, and translation/interpretation decisions of one exclusive group of Church of England men in 1611.

Perhaps it is the use of fallacies and use of double standards and the making of non-true claims in the non-scriptural KJV-only theory that causes some to abandon the faith.
