1 | Question on spiritual covering? | Bible general Archive 1 | RR144 | 82574 | ||
YOu wrote "The New World Translation is based on mystery and deception. Charles Taze Russell would not disclose who translated the NWT version, but since he came up with it many suspect he was the writer." __________________ Where do you come up with such nonsense? Seriously! Charles Taze Russell was born in 1852, he died in October 1916. He used the King James Version throughout his ministry. The New World Translation (NWT) was published in parts in the 1950s and completed in 1961. Charles Taze Russell had nothing to do with the NWT, he never snactioned it he never discussed it, and he knew nothing of it! |

2 | Question on spiritual covering? | Bible general Archive 1 | RR144 | 82579 | ||
Jehovah's Witnesses are anything BUT "Russellites" he may have founded the Watchtower Society, but he in no way would endorse what they teach and believe today. In fact were he alive today he would be excommunicated by the very organization he founded for apostasy! RR |

3 | Question on spiritual covering? | Bible general Archive 1 | RR144 | 82585 | ||
You realize there is a group who go by the name of "Bible Students" These are the true heirs of Russell's ministry, and they are at odds both organizationally and doctrinally with the Jehovah's Witnesses, viewed as evil and apostate in the eyes of the Jehovah's Witnesses. If the Witnesses were truly followers of Russell, there wouldn't be such a hatred on the part of the JW's, would there? RR |

4 | What is the most accurate Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | RR144 | 84016 | ||
If we are to encourage, we need to be truthful. There isn't a BIble in print today that does not have a biased slant to it, and while some tranlators have actualy altered text to support their "truths" such as the King James, others have tried to translate according to what they believe is the truth. I have several translations on my shelves, I do not favor any one, a good Bible student "makes sure of all things." As to Rotherham's Translation, it was first published in the late 1800s, and is still in orint today. Lord bless! RR |

5 | What is the most accurate Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | RR144 | 84023 | ||
Seems someone needs to do their research. Rotherham's is NOT a Jehovah's Witness Bible, nor wass he a Jehovah's WItness. Nor am I one of Jehovah's Witnesses. If Rotherham's is a JW Bible, why does every Christian Bookstore sell it? Do a search online under Rotherham's Bible, go to the following link for information about this translator: http://beta.studylight.org/info/copyright/bible/reb.html |

Again, you're not listening. I never said anything about the New World Translation, I do not recommend it, the New World Translation is NOT Rotherham's translation. As to your comment about "Hell", you went over my head with that one! Do me a favor and do some research before you make such asinine comments! |

7 | What is the most accurate Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | RR144 | 84027 | ||
Again you make comments that are false. You have not shown me ONE proof that Rotherham's Emphasize Bible is a Jehovah's Witness Bible. The Witnesses published the New World Translation. They have also published the King James, American Standard and Holman Linear and Emphatic Diaglott versions, should you tell Jim to stay clear from these also? Again, show me any proof that Rotherham's is a JW Bible and I will apologize. I have several editions of this Bible, and none of them have a JW connection. Because a particular Church may at one time distribute or even sell a particular translation does not make it "theirs." The Official translation of the JW's is the New World Translation. If you still feel this way, I suggest you contact CBD and other prominent Bible sellers and tell them to cease an desist selling this as you say "cultic Bible." RR |

LOL ... no problem. In the old days late 1880s, it was simply called Rotherham's New Testament, and when completed ROtherham's Bible, I'm not sure when it became the Emphasize Bible. In the 1896, however the Watchtower did offer this Bible, along with dozens of other translations, but it was never a Watchtower or JW Bible. Anymore than the other translation they have offered through the years are. Yes, you are correct, it has a tremendous repuation, personally I find it hard to read, but it is good for study and comparisons. Please excuse my abruptness. It is one of my pet peeves when people make claims on subjects they have not researched, or they borrow the claims of others as their own without investigating. Lord bless! RR |

9 | How best to translate Ps. 45:6? | Psalm | RR144 | 84034 | ||
Here are some other translations: "Thy throne given of God is for ever and ever; a sceptre of equity is the sceptre of thy kingdom." JPS "Your divine throne endures for ever and ever. Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity" RSV "Your throne is God's throne, ever and always; The scepter of your royal rule measures right living." "The Message" Interestingly under this verse the Contemprary English Bible states; "45.6 You. . . king: Or " God has made you king, and you will rule forever." Hope this helps! RR |

10 | High standard of living? | Matthew | RR144 | 84035 | ||
I agree, the Christians wealth is stored in heaven. His riches are spiritual. That is not to say that we as Christian cannot gain meyerial wealth, however this is not what God and Christ have suggested. We are ONLY promised the neccessity of life, a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs. Anything else is extra :) But we must keep in mind that anyting we attain in this life is God's and so we must sue it to his glory, NOT others, like living in oversize homes, wearing three thousand dollar suits and driving luxury cars. We must be good stewards! |

The part about Russell himself claiming to be that servant. |

12 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | RR144 | 82622 | ||
YOu are quoting others, this article only makes a claim without any proof. Where is the actual quote from teh writings of Charles Taze Russell where he states "I am that faithful and wise servant."? RR |
||||||
13 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | RR144 | 82637 | ||
That is because, Russell NEVER claimed he was anything but a servant of th Lord as al Christians are admonished to be. He never claimed anything special, never claimed infallibility, or that he was right and everyone was wrong, he never claimed you must join him or suffer death at armaggedon. No he was a simple man who claimed nothing of himself and admitted when he was wrong or when he didn't know. Unlike the Society he founded who eventually grew as a heirarchy over anyone willing to give up their Christian freedom. RR |

Let's stick with Russell, the Watchtower of today have made many claims of Russell that were simply not true, they have simply rewritten their history to make it seem that Russell was a Jehovah's Witness in harmony with their theology of today, this is simply not true, the two are separate and distinct. Because many in his day believed he was "That Servant" does not in itself mean he taught he was "that servant." I'll save you the time, Russell in all his years, NEVER, I repeat, NEVER taught that he was "that Servant" of Matthew 24:45-48. You will never find such a statement from him, believe me. |

16 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | RR144 | 82696 | ||
And as I said, "Let's stick with Russell, the Watchtower of today have made many claims of Russell that were simply not true, they have simply rewritten their history..." The Watchtower of 12/1/1916 is one of these rewritten statements. As I stated before, you will not find in any of Russell's writings, where he personally made such a claim in print. the article you quote from was not written by Russell, as he was dead by this time, it was written by "Judge" Rutherford, and it is hearsay, and "hearsay' never holds up in a court of law. Try again! :) |

18 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | RR144 | 82709 | ||
Sorry, what you have is an article from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the equivalent of todays National Enquirer. They spent most of thei time sensationalizing the news to sell papers. It was a relatinship like that of J. Jonah jameson and his Daily Bugle and Spiderman. I have the actual court transcripts and nothing is further from the truth. Maria Russell never charged Charles Russell with marital infidelity, I guess that's something the Watch the Tower site ommitted. Russell was never obsessed with the occult or egyptology. Did he believe that the Great Pyramid was divinely inspired by God? He sure did, as well as many other prominent ministers of his day and many today. |

19 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | RR144 | 82715 | ||
The issue you brought up was not about Russell's divorce but the reason for the divorce, I was refuting that faulty reasoning. Did Charles and Maria separate in 1897 and make it legal in 1907? Yes, they certainly did. Do I agree with Russell that the doctrine of the trinity is a lie inspired by atan? I certainly do. Am I sympathetic to Russell? I certainly am. |
