shouldn't call it a controversy, unless u know for sure I never heard of that verse there is one that states :
Mt 24:27For as the lightning cometh out of the
EAST, and shineth even unto the
WEST; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
I searched east and west on on computer Bible I couldn't find anything close to what you are talking about could be in one of these modern day bibles , wouldn't surpize me any
always believe the bible should have searched it out though before accusing The Bible of a lie
