  ancient confession found: 'we invented jesus christ'biblical scholars will be appearing at the 'covert messiah' conference at conway hall in london on the 19th of october to present this controversial discovery to the british public.

  london (prweb uk) 8 october 2013. american biblical scholar joseph atwill will be appearing before the british public for the first time in london on the 19th of october to present a controversial new discovery: ancient confessions recently uncovered now prove, according to atwill, that the new testament was written by first-century roman aristocrats and that they fabricated the entire story of jesus christ.

  What I find more alarming is the fact that a cave hids a shitload of documents and some guys at some day picked cherries in order to create a book and discarding the rest.

  Also... if it is found all together what does it say about the trustworthyness of ALL the papers/scrolls/books?

  The biggest changes are the exclusion of the texts after Mark 16:8 and John 7:53–8:11 they state on page 1729:

  Regarding the long conclusion for Mark 16 (verses 9-20),
  the short conclusion for Mark 16, and the wording found at
  John 7:53–8:11, it is evident that none of these verses were included
  in the original manuscripts. Therefore, those spurious
  texts have not been included in this revision.

  Some other wording has been adjusted to incorporate what
  scholars generally accept as the most authentic reflection of the
  original writings. For instance, according to some manuscripts,
  Matthew 7:13 reads: “Go in through the narrow gate because
  broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading offinto destruction.”
  In previous editions of the New World Translation, “is
  the gate” was not included in the text. However, further study of
  the manuscript evidence led to the conclusion that “is the gate”
  was in the original text. So it was included in this present edition.
  There are a number of similar refinements. However, these
  adjustments are minor, and none of them change the basic message
  of God’s Word.

  Exodus 3:14 is also a fucked up translation...

  The older version states this:

  At this God said to Moses: “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE .”*+ And he added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I SHALL PROVE TO BE has sent me to YOU .’”+

  The revised version states this:

  14 So God said to Moses: “I Will Become What I Choose to Become.”c And he added: “This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘I Will Become
  has sent me to you.’”d

  The sentence means something totally different then before (at least in my book). Correct me if I am wrong!

  Matthew 24:45 has a very small change but it may actually be a big one:
  
  They have changed the word "arriving" from the older version to the more vague term "coming". Since it is quite a keytext I wanted to post it here.

  What I notice at first is that the doctrine comes first... and the bible part comes later (page 43)

  RNWT Bible only in English

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, the english speaking jw world has got the rnwt bible.. so, 60 percent of the non-english jw world still has to to use / read their old nwt bible.. and reads in watchtowers from 2014 on bible text translated from the english rnwt to their language, and mention the changes with their own bible.. this is a very strange situation!.

  so, like g. jackson would say, the non-english jw world has to wait for some not so warm summers to keep up with the new rnwt bible.. gorby.

  The bible looks like 50 shades of Grey... (without the 49 shades that made the other book a bestseller :P).
