  NI NWT John 1:1 still says "a god" ... but ....

  there is now a footnote that offers the alternative "was divine" ... which is the preferred rendering of jason d. beduhn ph.d. as stated in his book truth in translation.

  according to the live blog: god's will to be completed by the end of the millennium.

  very casually said by louche (;-)).

  i think this is one of those things that is supposed to rile up the r&f.

  He was simply saying it would take the whole of the thousand year reign for Jesus to sort out the earth, which is what JWs have taught for decades already.

  Thousand years = millenial reign - millenium

  He's simlply referring to fulfillment of 1 Cor 15:28 (see Watchtower 9/15/2012 Peace for a Thousand Years - and Beyond!)

  The new translation of John 17:3 seems like a major shift.

  by paul from cleveland in

  2. beliefs

  up until now, everlasting life was dependent on "taking in knowledge".

  it was a perfect fit for a publishing house to interpret that scripture that way.

  if we didn't keep up with the endless stream of publications from the watchtower our salvation would be in jeopardy.

  Freddy Franz did whatever he could to make the JW's peculiar and different from everyone else. GB 2.0 seems to be trying to bring the religion more mainstream with Mormon type PR and softened approaches in public edition magazines ... and now a Bible that in some ways is more in line with other translations. Did they change John 1:1 to Jesus being "divine" instead of "a god"?

  ... and 1 Corinthians 13:4 ... Jehovah's chariot has caught up with translations done by Satan's system by using the term patient instead of long-suffering

  Since they no longer see a need to translate the Bible literally, would this new version fall into the dynamic equivalence category?

  Use the AGM "New Light" to reach your family and friends - here is my plan

  by Comatose in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i will be receiving calls from folks over the next couple days or seeing crap on facebook.

  the key to pulling this off will involve being 100% serious and believing it yourself.. plan - make a big big deal over the new light that the end will occur in this millenium, and immediately point out that this is huge news as a date hasn't been pushed since 1975.. .

  why - first off you use this as a way to bring in 1975 and tarnish the agm with that debacle.

  rebel8: Wait...they are now saying it will occur in THIS Millenium?!

  No. They are referring to the time at the end of the 1,000 year reign when Jesus' turns the completion of his Kingdom work to the Father. It's just stated in a way that causes a buzz.

  I would assume he is alluding to Jesus' millenial reign.
