Because the OT is many times bigger than the NT. More text more opportunity to find stuff to twist and shape.
....when they did not include a translation of the hebrew scriptures in your special kingdom interlinear bible?
perhaps it is easier to manipulate the new testament to fit with their twisted jw teachings?.

we all remember this passage vividly: from there elisha went up to bethel.
while he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him.
"go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!

The story is telling everyone to obey gods representatives otherwise you will die. Virtually every story has this motivation behind the scenes.

The Bible loves racial and sexist stereotypes, its so empowering when you belong to the right group.
i constantly read that having faith is the answer to knowing that god (or in most cases, jesus) exists.
but to me it's quite clear there are serious difficulties in believing the bible.. adam and eve.

For most, probably the bible... or word of mouth. Remember though, that there was no bible for quite some time after Christ lived in the flesh. Though very few, I think, would have the faith to put their faith in someone they had not first heard about from someone/somewhere else.

So how do you explain that Jesus and Jehovah did such a bad job in preserving their message to mankind ?
Why do you believe this enormous game of Chinese whispers ? Why dont you blieve in Mohammad ?

Besides loving and compassionate Jesus what else do you know about him and from where ?

Jeffro:
Are you saying i cant invent my own Jesus just like all the other 50000 christian religions ?
TEC might not be aware of this but when the Spanish went to the Americans and started to teach them about Jesus, the natives told them similar stories in reverse. The monks and priests couldnt explain this, which is why they tried their best to completely destroy all written material from the maya etc. We can see the same pattern with the RCC, where they tried their best to destroy all the written material from the other christianities. They pretty much worked until the Nag Hamadi jars were found.
The only problem the original number of the beast was not 666 but 616.

Perhaps the jw pedophiles shold claim they were curing any kids they rape, after all Elijah was a prophet who went to heaven, the bible says so.

@Green
What proof have you got for Jesus, besides repeating the gospels which themslegves have problems ?
i thought there was something recently.
clyde says he needs it soon to show a friend, and i don't know where to find it.
can i get it off jw.org ?

Few Christians today would insist on observing some aspect of the Mosaic Law in order to obtain salvation. Paul’s inspired words to the Ephesians are perfectly clear
mP;
Butg but but Jesus said the law of Moses was perfect and will last forever unchanged in Mat 5:18.
