jw publisher....... I hail o,,,,,, it all begun before 1800s when men can't infer who God is from the understanding of the Bible....... some envisage him to be a Spirit and never can he be seen and others he can be seen..... many are losing because of fallacy and sophistry who can help............. after 1800s men have to translate their own Bible to suit their own perception....... the age move on the Bible is now an up side down invention of it original manuscript who can help...... Jehovah is the name of God who then is Elohim?,,,,, Christ is or was a god who told u he is or was?.......the KJV of John 1:1 is absolutely wrong so the correction is made......... Adam and Eve are the cause of our problems today, who told u that? 1 Like |

Correct me if i am wrong.The stat says on 'average' it doesn't mean 800 peeps are being converted daily. Even the op can't comprehend stats. Average in math is different from average in general english |
