  galations 4: midway through (my copy doesn't show the verses) - 'those heretical teachers go to great lengths to flatter you, but their motives are rotten.

  The Holman Chritian standard bible has a nice rendering of this verse;
  "They are enthusiastic about you, but not for any good.Instead they want to isolate you so that you will be enthusiastic about them"
  
  All the best and God bless you

  Who will cry PEACE & SECURITY?

  by artcritic in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  who will cry peace & security?.

  in the emphatic diaglott is says "when they say"peace & safety" then sudden distruction impends over them, just as labor - pangs on her who is pregnant and shall by no means escape.

  " the greek word is feminine.

  it is simply to show a quiet time, where non are expecting any event , possibly even a time when the JW's have completely changed their doctrine and say "oh we misinterpreted the scriptures, Christ wont be here in the near future" then suddenly .
  
  then as an eagle upon a field mouse, as an elder upon an apostate, unexpectingly the end will come.

  Enoch

  by Ade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i havent really had a chance to ask anyone about my favourite book - enoch, the book that apparently the church fathers tried to "remove".

  has anyone else here read the book of enoch, or the book of the secrets of enoch.if so what is your opinion, i found it to bear many similarities to revelation in certain places .

  also including a history of the angels who caused much mischief in noah's day is fascinating , references to the son of man in such detail and the concept of different heavens is interesting as well.

  HI,
  I havent read that one yet however i will do so before the week is out.
  
  i agree , if these books are indeed true and were included in the bible most religions would fall apart.
  
  God bless you and yours

  Hi,
  I know what you mean, particularly paradise being in heaven ( one of the heavens ) would pose serious problems for them lol.

  Hi,
  Let me just set a few matters straight lol, i have NO intention of joining a religion i merely wondered what they do, as i didnt want to go somewhere and have some geeks trying to speak to me in tongues or help me communicate with angels etc lol.
  
  i HAVE learned my lesson from the previous mind controlling group although i will even visit them from time to time to remind me why i'm no longer a member "listening to those in the seat of Moses, but not doing as they do"
  
  many people have valid points to offer , but none have all the answers.
  
  God bless you all
  many thanks fro the replies

  Thank you Narkissos,
  I rest my case, although you dont see it as a misrepresentation, the whole point is it does remove the "Master / slave" relationship as stated.
  
  Nutter,
  its not just "my" opinion my friend . you stated "Inaccuracy over translation is your opinion" it is infact the opinion of many people here and elsewhere i do infact still own a NWT however i use it to research the strange doctrines and alterations to the bible by Jehovah's witnesses .And no one has actually stated i may be "incorrect" besides yourself, however you dont seem to have researched the item or put any accurate description as to where i am wrong/right, if you can show me i would be more than willing to accept it as such.
  
  I do indeed live and let live, but that doesnt mean i have to accept things that are clearly to me false does it ?? or are you just another nutter lol ??
  
  with respect
  God bless you all

  Hi Narkissos,
  although we agree on most things , i believe that clearly in this case the "owner" has been translated as a removal of Jesus absolute power of the subjects he bought with his blood.
  
  i AM NOT saying the NWT is a terrible translation, its just been "doctored" in places to fit comfortably with doctrine.
  
  all the best
