Scholars please on this NWT alteration 2 Peter 2:1

by Ade in

"new world translation" .

2 peter 2:1 .

however, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you.

Hi Nutter, you posted ; This kind of posting is what causes many of the problems in the world. If all paths lead to God, then why does it matter what each other thinks or believes. Surely, God welcomes all his children. So why get hung up over the detail, and respect each others beliefs (and translations). Its a very interesting viewpoint, because the bible clearly states that not all paths do lead to God, so i cant personally agree with your reasoning.Also would you consider taking your driving test from a book that you know would cause you to fail ( IE: an innacurate book ) ?? An innacurate translation being put forth to push ones own doctrine upon people and blind them to the bible truths, if we condone this then what is the point even saying we are servants of God. i bought forth a valid point, you have retorted basically inulting my genuine arguement-place at a vote who is a trouble causer my friend, most will vote for your comment as being trouble causing not mine . Respectfully -Ade

"new world translation"
2 Peter 2:1
However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among YOU. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves.

This is obviously in reference to Jesus Christ, as Jesus bought us the price being his blood.

The word rendered "Owner" in The NWT applies the usual lowness to Christ by the JW'S, as the word correctly rendered is Lord, Or Master "Absoloute Ruler" des-pot'-ace Strong number G1203. i personalyl dont see how the word "owner" can have been inserted, and is ( in my opinion ) an obviopus attempt to lower the role of Jesus.

in fact many even transate this part of the passage as "sovereign Lord"

it seems a misuse of wording by the WTBTS to twist the bible in trends of their doctrine
H113 Adon-Adon from an unused root ( meaning to rule ) , (controller human or divine) , meaning owner,Lord or Master
G2935 ktay'-tore - meaning Owner :- possessor
Had the above words been used in the text i would have understood their translation.

if any of you scholars have looked at this point, i would appreciate your input please.

Have you ever had acupuncture? What else can I try for high blood pressure?

by dmouse in

i had a bit of a shock last month when, in a routine check-up, my doc told me i had high blood pressure.. i can't remember what the reading was the first time but the next few days it was averaging 150/100.

not wanting to go on drugs for the rest of my life i decided to look at alternatives.

there are some chinese clinics in the town where i live so i tried one of those.. they recommended a course of herbal medicine and acupuncture.

Ade

Hi,
I have just been diagnosed with the same problem , high cholesterol and high blood pressure 150 /95. i think its due to current circumstances, mostly its being caused by stress ( the blood pressure anyhow ). Ive gained lots of weight in the last siz months ( probably hasnt helped much ).Have they given you diuretics yet ?? too reduce the amount of water in your body. The doctors normally try various things , diet,diuretics before any serious medication is given.

Have you experienced any other effects of having high BP , as you can have or not have symptoms.
i was prescribed diuretics by the doctor. However i have been and fetched some natural ones first to see if they help. I now have to attend a HBP clinic every two weeks until further notice. If you find anything you try works let me know please

Made up ideas by "the Society"

by Anomalous One in

.

interestingly enough, the homepage of www.watchtower.org has the gall post a link ripping the trinity because, if true, "it should be clearly and consistently presented in the bible.

guess they don't like anyone infringing on their rights to create.

Ade

Ive come to the following conclusion;

1) The bible has been tampered with by idiot men.
2) The JW'S are blind to everything everyone says except the FDSC
3) We wont understand many things from the bible which are beyond our feeble minds
4) As Jesus said - we will be saved by Faith and Grace, nothing else.
5) If the JW'S had the true faith , they wouldnt have changed so many verses of the bible to support their doctrines.
6) The trinity things doesnt matter in the slightest, and men arguing over such things is exactly what the bible says not to get involved in "be not ye led hither and thither by the doctrines of men"
7) people either believe or don't - ramming our own personal so called truth down people throats especially by knocking on their doors at unearthly hours on Sunday morning , is definatley no showing love or understanding.

God bless you -Ade

Zephaniah 2:2,3

"all ye meek of the earth", as regards Israel, in those days Ethiopia/Egypt was the "ends of the earth" and infinite ( Nahum 3:9 )

verse 3: 11 there also follows a picture of a purified Israel, which points only to Israel "thy doings where thy has transgressed against me " how could we have transgressed against God when we had no agreement with him ??

verse 3:12 "i will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people" - please ask them to explain how the WTBTS is "afflicted and poor " ??

The book of Zephaniah ends with a picture of the redeemed people with presence of Jehovah in their midst - AT THAT TIME 3:14-20
"I will make you a name and a praise among all the people of the earth" again end of the earth = Ethiopia/Egypt, and there is no reason i can see to use these verses prophetically as God is speaking of bringing them back from their captivity and being with a new remnant FROM that time, not some mysterious date only known to a few mentally deranged people with calculators who sit trying to calculate christs return from pyramid tunnel lengths.

Again to my mind a complete misrepresentation of scripture to support a load of old man made fantasy , i hope someone tries to offer me one of these tracts i'll swiftly give them an apostate lecture .
God bless you all
