How would I rate the NWT as far as accuracy, honesty, and trustworthiness? On a scale of 1 to 10, with the KJV, NASB, Amplified being 1 and the Koran being 10, I would give the New World Translation a rating of 11. | ||||||

I'm not intersted in the NWT, but that "Spinal Tap" rating sounds acceptable. JW's aren't interested in inductive argument, I don't know how you can reach them, but it's good, though frustrating, to argue with them. I have a copy of the Koran. I'd give it a 17 out of 20, with Dianetics somewhere nearby. I say 17 because I know a former Musilm, former Fatah sniper, who came to the Lord, so as pernicious as Koran is it can still be escaped. I don't know any Scientology converts or JW converts. (Maybe we put NWT farther out?) Interesting to note, meanwhile, that there are bundles of Christians amongst the Palestinians. I heard one missionary claim there are more Christians in Palestine, than Christians in Israel, by a long shot. Why isn't the fundamentalist Christian Church bringing this fact more to light? Could it be their strict adhesion to all things Israel? Don't Israeli Jews need Christ as much as the Palestinian Muslims? Christians are getting killed from all sides in the middle east; there's a lot of grey area there. |

"I don't know any Scientology converts or JW converts." They are out there, trust me. God brings people out of all different kinds of disbelief, and adherents to those two groups are no exception. "Why isn't the fundamentalist Christian Church bringing this fact more to light? Could it be their strict adhesion to all things Israel? Don't Israeli Jews need Christ as much as the Palestinian Muslims?" Of course they do, but many contemporary Christians are so theologically confused that they think that somehow all Jews are God's people and are somehow going to be saved apart from Y'shua their Messiah. Mix in the false notion that one must support the nation of Israel no matter how apostate they may be from the God of the Bible, and there we have our lack of evangelism to Jews and our support of all things Israeli. --Joe! |

Yeah, prejudice wasn't Jesus' message. Look at how He electrified the Samaritan woman at the well (Joh 4.5-42). But wasn't she ripe for the harvest? Not everyone has ears to hear, apparently. As He said: "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him..." (Joh 6:44). To all religions our Christian witness has to be like Paul's: "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." (1 Cor 2.2) This attitude buries prejudice. I don't say that from experience, but from the desire to have this attitude someday. I don't yet have the guts for it. Colin. |
