All you need to do is use the interlinear on the JW app haha and most truth comes out. And you can compare the old reference bible to the Revised NWT

The relationship between the Father and Son. What's your opinion?
by DATA-DOG ini am curious about this.
ever since i realized that there is no proof that jesus=michael the archangel, i wondered about who jesus was.

How about this:
Reference Bible 14If YOU ask anything in my name, I will do it.
Kingdom Interlinear 14ἐάν if ever τιanything αἰτήσητέ YOU should ask μεmein τῷthe ὀνόματίname μουof me τοῦτοthis ποιήσω.I shall do.
Byington 14If you ask me anything in my name I will do it.
American Standard Version 14If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I dothis is an obvious reference that anything we ask Jesus HE will do it. Of course that doesnt fit the doctrine does it? Hmmm
Or how about this: rev NWT says in col 1:16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him
INTERLINEAR: 16ὅτιbecause ἐνin αὐτῷhim ἐκτίσθηit was created τὰthe πάνταall (things) ἐνin τοῖςthe οὐρανοῖςheavens καὶand ἐπὶupon τῆςthe γῆς,earth, τὰthe (things) ὁρατὰvisible καὶand τὰthe (things) ἀόρατα,invisible, εἴτεwhether θρόνοιthrones εἴτεor κυριότητεςlordships εἴτεor ἀρχαὶgovernments εἴτεor ἐξουσίαι·authorities; τὰthe πάνταall (things) δι’through αὐτοῦhim καὶand εἰςinto αὐτὸνhim ἔκτισται·it has been created;
sorry its confusing the way it pastes here but as you can seethe word "other" does not apear. Now there are greek words to represent "other"..thegreek word is "al'los". that word is not found in this scripture...AND the rev NWT has ridden itself of "other" altogether in John 1:3-5 or wh tever...blatant addition to change thr text.

That combined with the fact that paradise earth is mentioned nowhere in the scriptures. earthly paradise would be all fleshly and materialistic stuff....not spiritual.

Sometiing interesting from John 1 in rev. NWT
by DS211 inso i think theres quite a bit to take from the agm.
there are many things of interest and no doubt removing mark 16:9-20 and john 5:58-8:11 is going to get serious criticism.
but i noticed in john 1:3 that jesus now created all things.

So i think theres quite a bit to take from the AGM. There are many things of interest and no doubt removing mark 16:9-20 and john 5:58-8:11 is going to get serious criticism. But i noticed in John 1:3 That Jesus now created all things. No more brackets. hmm im slowly starting to wonder what "new light" will surface from this revised version, specifically in 2014 when the WT starts to quote from it. im going to do some "personal study" haha of the scriptures about the spirit, and go through all the doctrines and hopefully find some more stuff. Well thats what i got out of this weeks annual meeting information, what did you friends get out of it? Haha

Cold steel---heres what i dont get. We are meant to understand John 3:16 and how much God loved us--because he gave his only begotten so . Now i know i dont understand the full relationship between the Son and the Father but if jesus was God in human flesh, then he actually sacrificed himself, not his son. In that scripture and john 1:1 i notice (or speculate) that God loved him before Jesus was of flesh. Its tough for me to make sense of what im saying haha but
