Legalism 101

[Robert Gwin]

There is a "problem" for JW's alright. It's called the Bible that Kingdom Hall twists the Hell out of.

Do we? Do you have an example K?

Now examine Acts 28:6, you will notice that in every one of those versions, that they rendered it a god instead of God, may I ask why? You do realize that they were written exactly the same way correct? No definite article before the theos/theon, therefore the translators of those versions were inconsistent with their rendering. Do you think they may have deliberately translated it that way to serve a particular doctrine? Can you pinpoint the time when that doctrine was introduced?

If Jesus was God, do you not think he would have state so? When others misunderstood him to be "making himself God" what did he tell them? Was he in error, or not?
