I keep hearing this and have asked you previously to show me where it has been altered to change the meaning of any verse to prop up our beliefs....please present these changes and allow us the right of reply....silence up to now.
Let me line it up with any translation of your choice.....please.
"Jehovah" is an accepted translation of the divine name into English. It doesn't pretend to be Hebrew like "Yahweh" which is a transliteration. A translation retains the meaning of the name...a transliteration is only a guess at how it might have originally sounded.
The Jews had stopped using God's name due to their own superstitious reasons, but Jesus said he had come to make God's name known.....and he did. (John 17:26)
Jesus wasn't Greek and neither were any of the Bible writers....they were all Jewish.
Greek was the language of the world. The Apostles wrote in this language because it used throughout the Roman Empire. They either spoke and wrote the language, or dictated to scribes, who wrote in Koine Greek.
As to your alleged translation.
A comparison of the NWT with eight different translations, all translated by true scholars finds that the NWT has omitted 17 full verses, and 10 partial verses.
A comparison of the 1984 edition of the NWT and the 2013 edition of the NWT, one finds that over thirty verses have been removed in the latter edition.
Why ? To support particular perverse doctrines of the JWś, like shunning ? I believe so.
We can go to one of the well known JW changes, not found in any other translations, John 1:1
¨ In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God, and The Word was God" NASB
¨ In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the word was a god.΅ NWT
Since your organiztion is Arian, anti Triniatarian, this verse was changed to suit the Arian belief. However, the change begs the question, isn´t having multi gods a pagan concept ?
JWś fundamentally do not understand the Trinity, as Arius did not. The Godhead is a single being or entity with three points of interconnected consciousness. Since people only have one point of consciousness, Arius could not concede that God, and people were different in this area, neither can the JWś.
I will be happy to go verse by verse with you on the changed and deleted verses that only your Bible has.
I believe it is a perfect case of a theological belief, the tail, wagging the dog, what the Bible actually says. Forcing the Bible to fit a preconceived position, rather than what the Bible actually says being allowed to decide the position.
Lets start with John. ¨ In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God ¨
The divine name was contained in the Greek Text of the Septuagint (second from the left) in Hebrew characters.
Replacing the divine name with "ky'ri-os" (Lord) simply followed the Jewish tradition of failing to use God's name in his own word. The Jews were never told to stop using God's name and neither were we. We don't have the correct pronunciation of God's name (thanks to those ancient frauds) and yet trinitarians are happy to use the name "Jesus", which was not the correct way to say his name in Hebrew, was it? Yet if Jesus is God, why the difference in the rules? Why are you not clamoring to have all the "J" names removed from the English translation of the Bible, since the majority of them incorporate the divine name in English?
You don't seem to notice the hypocrisy....
