Tell me, if Mark, written for Romans, could have just 16 chapters, i.e. 8 chapters dropped out compared to the version for Jews or Greeks, why do you panic so much if some new translations have one sentence here or there removed or added?
What are you so afraid of? Remember, Romans were supposed to have just 16 chapters of gospel!

they all can't be the word of God since they all contain different words and different truths. God cannot contradict Himself.
God tends to speak to Israel, and to other nations according to their actions and behaviors. Hence His words are often different.
If you mean that individual verses often are translated slightly differently; that occurs because words often have different meanings and different shades of meaning and translators choose among those meanings without departing from the Hebrew or Greek text. If that were not the case, there would be no reason for new translations.
Of course not lol. 
The KJV is only one of a long line and list of incorruptible seed. The word of the Lord to the prophets would be the first I guess, then the Old Testament.

I am just trying to get what you believe in.
What I did in Luk 1:1-3 was to parse the Greek. That is not even a translation. My parsing of the Greek was lexically accurate. I was attempting to show that what the 'translators of the KJV did with those 3 verses was worse than poor translation; it was NOT translation. For several words, they completely departed from the Greek text, not even using the same part of speech. The versions you cited agreed with my parsing except for 1 controversial word. That is not bad for someone with 1 full semester and 1 Summer term of Greek learned more than 40 years ago..

The Old Testament is complete an it contains the full gospel, it's just harder to see in the Old Testament. Nothing new, at least nothing new that I know of came about with the New Testament.
All the New Testament did was reveal the hidden things of the Old Testament.... same with the KJV, all it did was make the original writings more understandable.
