https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2BtSYSRBO8 The Watchtower, Jehovah's Witness organization, would claim that their New World Translation is the best Bible version out there. And it's the most complete and accurate version of the Bible you can get. Is that really true? Well, the Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is a created being, that he's Michael the archangel and not the Almighty God Creator. If you've read the Bible, alarm bells should be going off. Of course to read, for example in John 1:3 "that all things were made through Jesus and without Jesus was not anything made that was made." Also Colossians 1:16-17, we read that “For by Him (i.e. Jesus), all things are created whether in heaven or on earth." Why did the Jehovah's Witnesses believe this? Well part of the reason…

That might have something to do with the fact that it's the one published by their central organization, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. I'd pick out just three verses that highlight some interesting things about the Watchtower translation process. In the gospel of Luke when Jesus is on the cross alongside two criminals. One of the criminals realizes that Jesus is innocent and shows repentance.

This is the 1968 version and I just like you to consider this and see if this sounds like the organization that you are a part of today. And even then there were some questions as to how we would stick to the understanding that this has. Listen to this. This is The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life. I don't think this is on the Watchtower CD or online but here's what it says page 13 paragraph 5.  We need to examine not only what we personally believe but also what is taught by any religious organization with which we may be associated. Are its teachings in full…

They argue that the Greek text does not contain a comma. Therefore it is up to one’s interpretation of the text. However in the other seventy three verses where the words “I tell you the truth” appears, it is always followed by a comma. Lk 23:43 is the only exception. Jesus use these words when he was about to say something very important or hard to…
