The New World Translation Bible Defended (Aug 5 2018)


Introducing a new blog dedicated to the New World Translation Bible, a Bible version that is often unfairly criticized. Simply visit https://newworldtranslation.blogspot.com/ and right now it features the following articles:

EGW EIMI (ego eimi), I AM and John 8:58
It has become fashionable among some preachers and writers to relate Jesus' use of the words 'I am' in the Gospel according to John, in all, or most, of their contexts, to God's declaration to MOSES in Exodus 3:14

1326 times the word GOD is applied to Someone OTHER Than Christ
There is an increasing belief that the creeds, generally accepted among the Churches, differ very widely from the statements of the Sacred Volume, and from the doctrines which were common in the first period of the Christian Church.

Bullinger's 18 emendations to the Hebrew Text and the New World Translation
Of the 21 charts...the New World Translation ranked the highest, only twice relegating the original reading to the footnotes.

My Response to _The New World Translation EXPOSED!_ on Acts 20:28

How do modern day Rabbis view the word Elohim
Elohim does not denote the notion of plurality of "Persons" as many Christian thinkers have advocated for centuries. English and Hebrew are two distinctive languages, and they do not operate by the same laws of syntax.

A Catholic Priest Declares the Trinity Doctrine "Opposed to Human Reason."
My belief in the Trinity is based on the authority of the church: no other authority is sufficient.

James McGrath on Agency Christology

What Trinitarians Admit About the Trinity Doctrine
Luther, as we have seen, admits "The word Trinity is never found in the Divine Records, but is only of human invention. Far better would it be to say God than Trinity".

Bible Versions and the "Once Saved Always Saved" (OSAS) Doctrine

Catholic Confusion over John 1:1
The Greek simply does not have an indefinite article AT ALL, so it is up to English translators to do add it for clarity.

The Problem with the New American Standard Bible
The NASB is not a progressive move in a better direction over and above the American Standard Version of 1901. The NASB will always be a pale imitation. 

THE Angel of the Lord, or AN Angel of the Lord?

John 1:1 and Divine Agency
One point of detail is significant. Unlike English, Greek makes a distinction between 'God' without an article in front of it, and 'the God', with an article.

How Christianity (and the Person of God) Changed Early On
"Christianity conquered Paganism, but Paganism infected Christianity. The rites of the Pantheon were introduced into her institutions, and the subtleties of the Academy into her creed."—Macaulay.

How the Word HADES Is Used In The Bible
The word Hades occurs but eleven times in the New Testament, and is translated Hell ten times, and grave once.


Doctrinal Problems with "only-begotten God"

Christology and the Epistle Of Polycarp
Such passages, scattered over the short Epistle, show clearly enough that this old martyr had no conception of Jesus Christ as equal with God, or as one with him except in will and purpose. 

The Christology of The Shepherd Of Hermas
He answered, The Son of God is indeed more ancient than any creature, so that he was in counsel with his Father at the creation of all things. 

The Best Bible Versions Are The Ones You Never Heard Of

Martin Dibelius' Translation of John 1:1-18

I Am, or, I Will Be at Exodus 3:14?
A note from the NET Bible at John 8:58 reads: "I am! is an explicit claim to deity."

Jesus as the Archangel

J. Harold Greenlee on the Definite Article at John 1:1
No one thinks of translating Acts 12:22 "And the people shouted, saying, The voice of Deity, and not of a man."

H.G. Wells on the Trinity Doctrine
It was only after three centuries, amidst the uproar and emotions of the council of Nicaea, when the more enthusiastic Trinitarians stuffed their fingers in their ears in affected horror at the arguments of old Arius, that the cardinal mystery of the Trinity was established as the essential fact of Christianity. 

Old English Bibles on DVDrom (AV1611, Tyndale, Matthews, Coverdale)

Isaac Newton's Rejection of the Trinity Doctrine
“He felt Trinitarianism not just an error but as sin, and the sin was idolatry. For Newton this was the most detested of crimes.”

On the So-called "Trinity Proof-Texts"
"There is scarcely one text alleged by the Trinitarians which is not otherwise expounded by their own writers".—John Locke

Tartarus, Peter and the Book of Enoch

Jesus as Jehovah - What Does It Mean?

John 1:18 and the Reading "God the Only Son."
This is clearly a strong case of trinitarian bias and Scripture manipulation in order to promote an extra-Biblical theology unknown off in the 1st Century.

Charles C. Ryrie and Karl Keating on the Trinity Doctrine
The N. T. contains no explicit statement of the doctrine of the Trinity of God (since “these three are one” in 1 John 5:7 is apparently not a part of the genuine text of scripture.
