Romans 2:29 "By the Spirit" changed to "by spirit." Although the definite article 'the" does not literally appear in the Greek, it is implied by the form that (pneuma) appears in. The revision, however, translates pneuma in a more abstract form to evade the reality of the Holy Spirit. (Same...

Matthew 2:11 "Bowed down and worshipped him" changed to "did obeisance to it" The JWs evade recognizing Jesus as worthy of worship as a divine being by altering the form of honor that he receives from men and angels. The Greek word proskuneo literally means "worship." The use of "obeisance" is...

In short, wherever possible, the NWT translates texts that call Jesus God in such a way as to keep the text from making that identification! Genesis 1:2 "Spirit of God" changed to "God's active force." The revision modifies the original noun with a more impersonal form as the JWs reject the...

Colossians 1:16 in the Bible states that Jesus Christ created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, through him and for him Adding "other" is stupid stinkly thinking on the so-called translators of the nwt. Four out of the five men on the committee had no Hebrew or Greek...

So what, that is a silly skinky thinking on your part.

Jesus’ Letter to the Church in Sardis 3 “Write this to the angel of the church in Sardis: “Here is a message from the one who has the seven spirits and the seven stars. “I know what you do. People say that you are alive, but really you are dead. 2 Wake up! Make yourselves stronger before what...

I quoted greek scholars that I know are correct. We believe Jesus is fully God and fully human, thus your proof text has no effect. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+2&version=ERV Revelation 1-3 Easy-to-Read Version John Tells About This Book 1 This is a revelation[a]...

Romans 8:29 ·God knew them before he made the world [L For those whom he foreknew…], ·and he chose them […he also predestined/chose beforehand] to be ·like [molded to the pattern of; conformed to the image of] his Son so that Jesus would be the firstborn [C the preeminent one, but also...

It means that there is nothing—absolutely nothing—in heaven or on earth, physical or spiritual, that is not made by Christ (John 1:3), bought by Christ (1 Cor. 6:20), or belonging to Christ (Rom. 11:36). It is all His preeminence of Christ. “Preeminence” is a lofty word. It means the highest...

not keeping up. This weekend, we went hiking in Hocking Hills in Ohio

The Centrality of Christ 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.[i] 16 For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and...

Another interesting point is that whenever arch refers to a person, most of the time it has something to do with rule, dominion, or authority of some type(of course, only persons can be rulers). This is backed up from the LXX, New Testament, and secular usage. J.R. Mantey in Depth Explorations...

11. Mr. Stafford has not proved distinct beings only distinct persons. This is a passage I would use as a proof text to refute Sabellianism. He comes to this passage with Henotheist (sub-category of polytheism) presuppositions. I of course come to this passage with Monotheistic and Trinitarian...

8. Let’s take a look at these parallels. Matt. 24:8- Yes, this is grammatically parallel, but arch as a noun is being used differently. arch in Rev. 3:14 is being used as a title. Matt. 24:8 is not. arch in Rev. 3:14 is active. Matt. 24:8 is passive. Context will determine the meaning. In my...

5. For someone who is always trying to get out of ‘rules,’ it is surprising to find him try to make one. See his discussions on Jn 1:1 and Tit. 2:13 on how desperate he is to eliminate valid rules. Now he will probably deny he is making a rule. But he does not have to use the word rule. Notice...

1. This statistic can be misleading. In the LXX, it is closer to approximately 50% with the meaning of ‘beginning’. arch can mean beginning, rule, sum, choicest, edge, band, highest, origin, and top. In the second paragraph of this paper above, I show the absurdity of Furuli’s statistic. Context...
