Christians worship Christ; JW's do not!

[rstrats]

Isn't it the responsibilty of a translator to carry the meaning of a word or phrase over to the language for which they are making the translation?

 

[God's Truth]

Does Acts mention English?

Do you understand why the Bible says answer a fool according to his folly; and then it says don't?

Then why do we have 100+ different English translations of the same text?

Show us in the original languages...

Apple7,
re: "Then why do we have 100+ different English translations of the same text?"

Are you suggesting that it isn't the responsibility of a translator?

The original languages have multiple meanings attached to single words.

Therefore, it is imperative to study the original languages, themselves, rather than relying upon one English rendering.

Simple enough to understand...

Do you know what that scriptures mean?

You claim to have more understanding because you study Greek, so explain those scriptures and why they contradict each other. I know why do you?

Most everyone has a better understanding of scripture than you...

You don't know, just as I thought.

How would you know?

GT's knowledge of scripture = :hammer::hammer:

Hey, GT, just want to let you know I'm still waiting for a response to this question:

That's not what I asked.

I asked:

Is it a possibility that certain words or phrases that have a certain connotation to them lose that meaning when translated into other languages?

 

[God's Truth]

Hey, GT, just want to let you know I'm still waiting for a response to this question:

I already answered that. You have a lot of things you have not responded to.

 

[JudgeRightly]

I already answered that. You have a lot of things you have not responded to.

You replied, but you didn't answer. There's a difference. Could you please answer the question, instead of just replying?

 

[Apple7]

GT are you JW?

 

[oatmeal]

Believers worship God first and foremost.

The son of God and other honorable believers are honored as well

Jesus changed the location of worship to Himself, in John 4...

• John 4.21; Worship is no longer to take place in the Mountain, or in Jerusalem.
• John 4.23 – 24; Jesus declares that the NEW place to worship is in Spirit and Truth, which is to worship in the Person of Jesus Christ, who is the temple.

 

[God's Truth]

GT are you JW?

No way am I a JW.
JW's teach against Jesus being God.
JW's have a doctrine of soul sleep which I call a doctrine of death.
JW's come across as sheep but they are ravenous wolves, taking even our spirits away...if you believe them.

Ask the question again, and let's not give up.
