Bible Note: You know, kalos, while I recognize your question as rhetorical, to wit: "Then why was the New World Translation Bible needed?", I at the same time feel that Dr. William Barclay's quotation, which you cite in your post, is classic and to the point in his use of the words "the deliberate distortion of truth by this sect." That's the thing that makes this so-called translation so horrible, so despicable, so blasphemous. It is one thing to make an honest error of translation, but it is quite another to mis-translate the sacred text in such an obviously deliberate and profound way in order to make it comply with the false doctrines of a cult. I can think of nothing more dishonest and deceptive than this. --Hank |
