Has anyone noticed that scriptures cross referenced in the NWT are different that scriptures cross referenced in NIV or other versions??
one example; Romans 10:9,10
NWT 1cor 9:16, acts 16:31, acts3:15, rom4:24, 1 peter1:21, mt10:32, 1ch28:9, 2th3:15, 2cor4:13, heb13:15
NIV mt10:32, john13;13, john3:15, acts2:24, rom11:14
witness agenda = field service
christendom agenda = just believe
Yes, but then the NIV cross references to support their doctrinal view as well. That was the one negative thing that I found when I was reading reviews on the NIV. That's why I try to use 4 to 5 bibles when doing any research (sometimes 8 with my program). It can be very enlightening.

what program do you use?
I have a comparitive study bible (book).
4 versions
I use e-sword. www.e-sword.org It's free.
Wow! Thanks for the website jgnat. It's just what I need to help me with my Greek Text modules for my degree.
And, it's free.
emo,
All bible translators have some bias which is evident by the cross reference texts being those to support the bible writer's (publishers) personal views.
Blondie has the right idea - look into many translations. Jgnat gave you a good site, here is another one www.biblegateway.com - this one has good commentaries, bible dictionaries and other resources as well. Good luck in studies, Lilly
I recomend e-sword also. There is also an import tool avaiable for it from another site that will import other translations from Bible gateway. Works good. seek2find
