Wrong

Wtf is going on

Reiyvinn:
The Watchtower and Tract Society, Governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses, have again re-translated a portion of John chapter 1 (among others) in their online library.

It should be noted that this very translation has been subject to many debates and scrutiny for decades.

John 1:1c which used to read “...and the Word was a god" in older versions like 1984 and 2013 have now taken another turn since the release of the Kingdom Interlinear (Greek Translation of the New Testament) to now read: "...and the Word was God"

John 1:18 which used to read "...only begotten god..." now reads "...Only Born God..."

No one knows the reason for this change but you can check it out: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/b/r1/lp-e/by/E/1972/43/1#v=43:1:23


Screenshots below in case it is edited later....

Maybe Jehovah just reviewed this one to them. Hopefully, they will repent from deny the divinity and Godhood of Jesus Christ.

DSS1335:
There is nothing wrong with that. The message which centered about Divinity of Christ is made more clearer. I guess it won't be fair identifying Christ with 'god' but with 'God'

, thank u

My question too.

Switup:



our official website is www.jw.org and not wol.jw.org

JW.ORG owns all subsidiaries under it. Just as web.facebook.com and mobile.facebook.com are still Facbook.com

Search for Kingdom Interlinear Translation under JW.ORG and go to John 1:1

The jw online bible website is host to six different translations including kjv, american standard version and Byington translation. what the op quoted is from the Byington translation. The new world translation still renders that passage as 'a god.'


I don't know if the op is genuinely mistaken or just being malicious.

wol.jw.org is the online library for JWs. It's full meaning is watchtower online library.

JW.org is the official website for the general public. And sorry for my language, just that I have seen so much of it.

I just ran a check on it from PC view, it appears that I mistook that for the KIT which I just saw now and it says "and god was the the word" (translated from theos en ho logos) contrary to the above https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/b/r1/lp-e/int/E/1985/43/1

Came as a shocker when I saw it and was a little careless not to have run a double check.

It's indeed the Byinton translation, not a "revised" NWT. Apologies.

I understand, we have all done worse. Have a good day.
