Bible Note: 'When it is necessary to consider any aspect of the teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses, it is therefore important to keep in view at least ten different sources of information. (1) Wilson's Greek text following Griesbach; (2) Wilson's Interlinear literal rendering; (3) Wilson's "Emphatic" translation; (4) The New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures; (5) The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures; (6) The Kingdom Interlinear Translation Greek text (following Westcott and Hort); (7) The Kingdom Interlinear literal rendering; (8) The Bible in Living English by S. T. Byington; (9) The Greek text underlying the K.J.V.; (10) The Authorised or King James Version. With the exception of the ninth item all of these are published by Jehovah's Witnesses and have been circulated by them in considerable quantities. 'Erroneous translations 'The inconsistencies between these versions are so numerous that it would be possible to demonstrate the doctrinal errors of Jehovah's Witnesses from some renderings and to disprove the errors from the others. In the present short article a few examples only can be examined. It will be noticed that most of these are concerned with the doctrine of the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. '1. John I.I. "The Word was God". The Greek editions are the same, but the English renderings published by the Watchtower vary --"a god was the Word, the Logos was God, the Word was a God, god was the Word, and the Word was God."' ____________________ To read the entire article go to: http://www.holybible.com/resources/Trinitarian/article_67.htm |
