  WT answer to the question: Who made Jehovah's dwelling place?

  by NCC-1701 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  before i pose my question, please correct me if my understanding on any of these points on wt beliefs are incorrect.. 1. jehovah god alone has existed from eternity.

  he used no pre-existent material to form anything.. 2. jehovah has a literal dwelling place, albeit not made from anything from,and not contained within, creation itself.

  3. jehovah god, alone, created jesus at some point before the creation of everything else.

  March JW Broadcast - Mark Sanderson and Translations

  by NCC-1701 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was listening to the march jw broadcast today and found this interesting.. at about the 42:25 mark, mark sanderson says, "in the early 16th century many people had a strong desire to know more about the bible.

  by that time the latin vulgate had been the common bible for more than 1,000 years.

  but, sadly, most people could not read latin.

  Looking for feedback on this approach

  here's something i've brought up into conversation with a couple of witnessess and i was curious about what other thought.. let's say a witness goes into a coffee shop and sits between an athiest and a christian.. the witness starts a conversation with the athiest about the bible.

  the athiest poses the question about the reliability of the bible.

  the witness explains that the bible is completely trustworthy because of it's historical accuracy, meticulous transmission, etc.. the athiest says that's interesting and thanks him for the information.. the witness then turns to the christian and begins the same conversation he had with the athiest.

  Truth in Translation and Phillip Harner's JBL article

  by NCC-1701 in

  2. bible

  if this topic has appeared in the forum before, please accept my apologies.. just wanted to share what i wrote about jason beduhn's handling of phillip harner's article in the journal of biblical literature (1973) in the book, "truth in translation" for those who may have their own copy of it.. it's a bit lenghthy, but i wanted to record as much of harner's thoughts as possible to understand his position.

  i hope it is helpful to someone.. .

  a friend recently offered his copy of jason david beduhn's "truth in translation" for me to read.
