Bible Note: Greetings Ben! The fact remains though that translation is a learned skill. One must be trained to do it. Since the 'translators' of the NWT will not identify themselves, no one knows whether or not they have this skill or not. Further, no one even knows if they translated anything. As I've said, my impression of the NWT is that it is nothing more than a paraphrase of the KJV, not a translation at all. I believe that the real reason for their silence is that they do not have the qualifications to translate at all. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
