Watch Tower released the revised Translation of the Bible in October, 2013. This is not something new! See what has been happening in the last 20 centuries! Each Christian sect does not trust the translations of others, hence wants one of their own. Each sect wants to revise the translation they themselves have made.
What does this tell about the real author of the Bible?
1) Either He simply does not know to convey some message of vital importance clearly!
2) Or Bible does not belong to Him;
3) Or He originally wrote something, but was tampered with later.
The latter seems to be what has actually happened. That is why we find pieces of superb wisdom scattered all over the Bible, being intertwined with human elements!
Examples of human elements (just from one book Genesis):
1) God is shown as speaking to fishes and birds (Genesis 1:20-22)
2) God is shown as fearing man making progress (Genesis 3:22-24; 11-5-7)
3) God is shown as a thermometer, which responds to normal temperature, but not to what is beyond what is normal. He tried to counsel Cain against his pre-meditated murder of Abel (Genesis 4:6, 7). This is unlikely, because if He had spoken to Cain, he would have DEFINITELY done the same whenever man was planning for far more vicious attacks like bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!
4) God is shown as supporting foul-play, as if God has no other option to bless a person! (Genesis 27)
Pope asked Michelangelo about the secret of his genius: how had he created the statue of David, his masterpiece of masterpieces. Michelangelo said: “It’s simple: I just removed whatever was not David!” Michelangelo chiseled away all that is not David.
What Michelangelo did gives us a clue as to what one should really be doing with the Bible if one really is to benefit from this book.
Each one of us is created in God’s image, hence is capable of deciding what God has actually said/done, and what he may not have said/done!
