| Is their Bible the true Bible? |
| Witnesses all carry the same Bible, the New World Translation. Is their Bible correct or is it an adulterated? I will repeat what I said before, we know that in the Old Testament God's name is YHWH or Yahweh, or otherwise known as the Tetragrammaton. The word Yahweh is the word that is mistranslated into Jehovah in the King James Bible. The word Yahweh is only found in the Old Testament. In the New Testiment the word Adonai is used, or the greek word that looks like Krios. All you need is a Greek New Testement and a Greek-English dictionary to see this. I highly recomending having one if you are going to check out the New World Translation. The standard that is used in both the NIV and the NKJV bibles is as follows on how to tell the difference between the word Yahweh and the word Krios. Where the word YHWH is found in the old testiment, the word 'LORD' is used in all capital letters. Where the word Krios is found in the new testiment, the word 'Lord' is used with the letter 'L' capitalized the the letters 'ord' in lowercase form. When I started comparing bibles with a Witness they told me that the word Jehovah has replaced both words. But then I realized the the word Krios (Lord in a Greek dicitonary) is also used in with Jesus. For example "Lord Jesus" is found all through the New Testement, but so is "Lord God". So the work Krios is used in the same context in the Original Greek new Testement with Jesus as it is with God. This is how it was origianlly written, but it is not how the New World Translation has it. In the NWT New Testiment, the word Jehovah is found only when the word Krios used with the word God and the word Lord is only used where Krios is found before Jesus. Thus the New World Translation is inconsistent with the original Greek text. By doing this, the Watchtower Society has changed the meaning of the Bible. by doing this the Watchtower Society has made Jesus inferior to God. |
