New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

New World TranslationLanguage193 languagesNT published1950Complete Bible published1961

The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT) is a translation of the Bible published by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. The New Testament portion was released in 1950,as The New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures, with the complete Bible released in 1961;it is used and distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses.,As of September 2020, the Watch Tower Society has published more than 220 million copies of the New World Translation in whole or in part in 193 languages., Though. Jehovahs witness, commentators have said a scholarly effort went into the translation, critics have described it as biased. As does not match the original languages at all. An extremely high use, Of replacement theology ,don't like what the scripture actually says replace it with what you would like for it to say to fit your false teaching instead.

It is equal only to the book of mormon.

Fails miserably compared to the actual written word of God The Holy Bible.

Which is why Jehovah's witnesses claim all other versions are corrupt ,and only their version ,put out by their church is right because it teaches their doctrine.

Doesn't it sound just like the mormons and the book of mormon only their book is the right book the one that tells you what they want you to believe.

Moreover, the JWs’ translation, the NWT, adds to the NT the name Jehovah, even when the OT is not being quoted. For example, the NWT translates kurios (Lord) as Jehovah in the following passages: II Peter 3:9, “Jehovah [kurios] is not slow respecting his promise;” Acts 13:48, “they began to rejoice and to glorify the word of Jehovah [kurios];” Revelation 1:8, “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says Jehovah [kurios] God.” Other examples could be given. In the book of Revelation alone, Jehovah is added at least ten times (4:8, 11; 11:17; 15:3-4; 16:7; 18:8; 19:6; 21:22; 22:5-6). However, when kurios refers to Jesus Christ, it is never translated Jehovah (e.g., Phil. 4:5; I Thess. 4:15-17). This shows the bias of the NWT version. I Thessalonians 4 is a particularly interesting example in the NWT: “For this is what we tell you by Jehovah’s [kurios] word that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord [kurios] shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep in death, because the Lord [kurios] himself shall descend ... be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord [kurios] in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord [kurios]” (vv. 15-17). Notice, the first kurios is translated Jehovah, but the other examples of kurios in the same context are translated Lord. Why? Because clearly they refer to Jesus Christ and the JWs will not recognise His Deity, that Christ is Jehovah God!

CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS.

              CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS. By: Benson Omole. If there is anything that will spark a spontaneous debate, among believers, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics. As followers of Christ, how should we view politics, what should be our attitudes and our involvements with politics? In these contemporary times we live in today, it is increasingly becoming difficult to differentiate between an active Politician, and a faithful Christian! Small efforts shall be made to define what Christian life and values are. Why are we saved, and our responsibilities, now that we are saved? We shall also examine few classical definitions of politics, and its theories.  Readers must be able to decide whether to enter in “by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it.” –Jesu

The Origin of Israel.

ORIGIN OF ISRAEL. The origin of Israel is rooted in ancient history and has complex historical, religious, and political dimensions. It's important to understand that the topic is multifaceted, but I can provide a brief overview: 1. Ancient History: The region that is now Israel has a long history dating back thousands of years, with various indigenous peoples and empires controlling the area. In ancient times, the land was inhabited by Hebrews, Canaanites, Philistines, and others. 2. Biblical History: The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) contains accounts of the Israelites' conquest of the land under figures like Moses and Joshua. It describes the establishment of the Kingdom of Israel. 3. Roman Conquest: In 63 BCE, the Roman Empire conquered the region, leading to the dispersion of Jews and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. 4. Modern Israel: After centuries of Jewish diaspora, the Zionist movement emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the reest

The Truth About Christmas

The Truth About Christmas                            George G. Pennock. As we enter the season of the year when many of our friends and neighbors are observing the birthday of Christ, it is appropriate that we give some time to a careful study of Christmas. In this article we will attempt to give you a comprehensive picture of the truth about Christmas. Some of the material presented has been adapted from James L. Dennison's booklet, "The History Of Christmas" and Eris B. Benson's work, "The Question Of Christmas." We lay no claim to originality. Have you ever stopped and thought about the origin and history of Christmas? We are prone to take so many things for granted! Where did Christmas come from? Who authorized it? Many of us will quickly answer that it was ordained by God, and originated when Christ was born. But are you sure of this? Could you prove it from the Bible? Permit us to deal with some of the traditions which most of us have taken
