1 | NAS like the NWT??? I HOPE NOT! | Bible general Archive 1 | charis | 7110 | ||
Dear roverjbh99, Where did you see this chart? That sounds ridiculous! Please do not put your NASB down, as it is widely considered to be one of the most accurate English Bibles available. (In my opinion, THE most accurate) Could it be that the JWs or Mormons made this chart? You know da kine, eh? Aloha in Christ Jesus, charis |

The NASB is probably like the NWT in that it is printed on paper, using ink, and then the pages are bound together, and a cover added. Moreover, both translations read from top to bottom and from left to right. Also the pages numbers are in Arabic numbers rather than Roman numerals or binary code. And, most important of all, both those translations were originally produced in the United States in the 20th Century, which alone makes them mere carbon copies of each other. Not. Other than that the two versions are no more alike than clods of dirt and beenie babies. This is an incredibly absurd, inaccurate and near-blasphemous statement. I've never seen any comparison of translations that even included the NWT, universally regarded as a work that doesn't even qualify as a legitimate Bible translation and is unworthy of serious consideration by anyone. roverjbh99, if you should see that chart again would you copy down what he said about the 2 versions? Then would you do us all a favor and submit a posting telling us exactly what the author said, using the very words he used? |

Here's what the author said to the intro to the chart (These are his words not mine): All versions are not saying the same thing! Most Christians recognize the New World Translation (NWT - Jehovah's Witness Bible) for the corrupt work it is. What most Christians don't recognize is the same corruption in their own "Christian" bibles! The Verses the Chart uses are: Hos 11:12 Matt 9:13 Matt 18:11 Matt 19:17 Mark 10:24 Luke 2:33 Luke 4:4 Luke 4:8 John 6:47 John 10:30 Acts 2:20 Acts 8:37 Acts 23:9 Rom 13:9 Col 1:14 1 Tim 3:16 1 Tim 6:5 1 Pet 1:22 1 Jhn 4:3 Rev 4:14 Rev 20:9 Rev 21:24 The URL is: http://www.staggs.pair.com/kjbp/kjb-docs/vrstbl.html |

Not to or about you, sir, but about the author of the above, I would say: 1) No one claims infallibility for any translator or translation of the Bible. 2) It is an understatement to say the NWT is a corrupt work. "What most Christians don't recognize is the same corruption in their own "Christian" bibles!" Any alleged corruption (I would prefer the word error) in the NASB, NIV, NKJV, etc. is NOT the same as the corruption in the NWT. 1) There is no intent to corrupt among translators of other versions (the claims of the KJV only cult having no validity). 2) The guiding aim of the translation of the NWT is obviously to support the heresies of the organization that produced it. To say it is denomnationally biased would also be a laughable understatement. 3) The degree and amount of error (which I would not consider error, but merely honest differences of interpretation of verses which ARE NOT always cut and dried, plain and simple. If anyone thinks otherwise I would ask them, have you ever translated a formal work from one language to another? Try it and you'll see how easy it is NOT.), the quality and quantity of errors between the NWT and all the other versions put together is vastly different. Is in fact worlds apart. If the author's meaning is what we take it to be (and it may or may not be, but if it is) then the author is an idiot. |
