1 | Where does it say two were in the field | Matt 24:40 | Emmy | 117318 | ||
Hi: No need to make me aware as to whether or not I am Jehovah Wintess. I am not. Interesting that that is the point on which you make comment. In this case the New World Translation says exactly the same as does any other, namely that the elect are gathered, and the rest not being elect are not gathered by this angel. The point made was that this gathering is after the tribulation, and before Armageddon, and is therefore not in the right sequence of events to be the rapture, as many believe. The ones being gathered in the first reaping (gathering) are The Elect. The ones left are those who are not the elect, but many of these are reaped (gathered) by the second angel who reaps grapes to be trampled in the wine press of God's wrath (Armageddon) We have no affiliation with any religious organization. One reason for this is that different organizations teach different things, and so we are left to our own devices as to find out which one is actually teaches truth. In addition some organizations have some things right, but other ideas incorrect. By the time one figures that out, one need no longer ask any one what is true. We depend on the scriptures and Holy Spirit who opens an understanding for them. " The annointing you have received teaches you all things and you have no need of a teacher" is a quote that should be taken to heart or believed, and give any true believer confidence to test everything that all others say to see if it is true or false. One cannot depend on others to interpret things for them, but depend on Holy Spirit, Christ and Father alone. These three are in perfect agreement. Sincerely Henry and Emmy |

Henry and Emmy, since you quote from the NWT, do you agree with Watchtower regarding the deity of Jesus Christ? | ||||||

Hi : I have stated on several occasions that I do not agree with JW Watchtower, including deity of Christ which I understand they do not believe. I would much rather see answers to my postings rather than go this JW situation. The thing is I have made one quote from NWT which to me says exactly the same as any other translation. On the point in question NWT used abandoned, where other translations use left. These words both mean the same in the context as I read it. SIncerely Emmy and Henry |

Emmy, Just a quick comment for reference, if I may:-) I think Colin's concern is that the NWT IS NOT a credible translation, but rather a "mis-translation". I'd go so far as to call it, The New World Perversion! Though the Greek word, "aphiemi"- which means "to send away", "leave alone", or "permit"-can be translated abandoned, only 1 of 123 is it translated such! There were no recognized Greek scholars who comprised the "translation committee" of the Watchtower. None. So, at best, any renderings the NWT may give should be thoroughly checked with a recognized Translation (KJV, NASB, NIV, etc.) and cross-checked against any standard grammar reference such as Vine's, Robertson's Word Pictures, or Vincent's Word Studies, etc. The bottom line is this: we need to be careful when we consult a less-than-credible source such as the NWT. No harm nor offense was meant, I'm sure :-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Brad: No offense taken. Wish someone would respond to my posting on "The question of logic and timing". Sincerely Henry and Emmy |
