Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

Hello and God Bless. I haven't had a chance to read any of the NSB yet, but I applaude your effort to recognize the one true God without bias. Yes trinitarinism is driven throughout the world but was not "adopted" or "accepted" until the fourth century and sealed by the Council of Nicene. Thank you for doing the right thing instead of just following the masses. I look forward to reading your work of love which conforms to the instructions in Ephesians 4:4, 5, and 6.

APPLAUSE!!!

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

Attempting to present a translation as unbiased at same time as stating "It does not espouse, adopt, embrace, or promote the Trinity" is an utter contradiction in terms. Such a statement exposes a clear bias- Antitrinitarianism. Besides that, saying the Bible does not teach God in 3 persons is as ridiculous as saying the Constitution "does not espouse, adopt, embrace, or promote" freedom. Of course it does; & it would take a true bias against freedom to state otherwise. So also, the hundreds of verses in both Old & New Testaments point towards the idea of God existing in 3 Persons & this link gives many of them- http://zoareanspurse.blogspot.com/2007/10/glory-of-jesus-christ.html

It really is quite pitiful for someone to "look" for a unique translation that suits their beliefs instead of accepting 2000 years of biblical scholarship & changing those beliefs. After all, why do you need a Bible at all if you are going to simply turn Genesis 1:27 on its head by creating (a) God in your own image? Why not just carry on with your forlorn assumptions without a Bible?

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

Until the late third century, Trinitarianism was unknown in Christianity. Until the middle of the fourth century, Modalism was the dominant theology. It took until the mid-eighth century for the Church to eradicate Modalism from the beliefs of the laity.

The first Nicence Creed reflects the influence of the Modalists, not the Trinitarians. The Second Nicence Creed --- which is the one that is usually used today --- reflects the influence of the Trinitarians.

Had the Modalists not been outnumbered by the combination of the Christian Gnostics, and the Trinitarians, at the Council of Nicea in 325, the odds are that Trinitarianism would be as unknown in contemporary Christianity.

The Trinitarianism of the creators of the Second Nicence Creed is so vastly different from contemporary Trinitarianism, that I suspect that most contemporary Trinitarians would call them non-Trinitarians.

For your prayers are like a solid pillar in its midst, and like an indestructible wall surrounding it. (4 Baruch 1:2)

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

UPmomof6,

Your RESPECT for the Heavenly Father’s Name is well founded and I commend you for you such.

Yet you said that the pronunciation of the Heavenly Father’s Name is unknown
and that it is made-up of four consonant letters, but neither of these statements is true.

If you down load the module: - The Wars Of The Jews –
provided at: http://www.e-sword.net/extras.html
then go to BOOK V - CHAPTER 5.
paragraph 7. unto the 11th sentence thereof [you will find] -
"A mitre also of fine linen encompassed his head,
which was tied by a blue ribbon, about which there was another golden crown,
in which was engraven The Sacred Name: It consists of Four Vowels."
(Author: [Flavius] Josephus; a member of the priestly aristocracy of the Yews, from 55A.D.-100A.D.,
during the second Temple period while the Heavenly Father’s Name was still being taught to the Priest)

As four VOWELS they have their own sound and need no other vowels to help make the sound of the Name.

The foreign vowels E, O, and A were added by the Masorete Scribes after the return of the Yews from the Babylonian Exile, after: [Flavius] Josephus reign as a Priest in the second Temple, not to help aid with the pronunciation but to instruct the reader to substitute the Title Adonai instead.

The Iaudish Priest, not wanting to help the Gentile Messianic believers to pronounce the Heavenly Father’s Name, did not tell the English Bible writers that they had misunderstood the TRADITION of HIDING the pronunciation of the Heavenly Father’s Name, and stood silent as to the fact that the vowel pointings were foreign to the Name and there fore did not belong.

Being the English Translators did not know better they thought that the Original letters were consonants because vowel signs were added, and believed the added vowel pointings were necessary to help pronounce the Name.

By the way Tyndale, Coverdale, Bishops, and King Iames Versions spelled It Iehovah. The first letter being an I and not with a J, a vowel that when coupled in front of an A makes a Diphthong yă.
(See: Pronunciation Guide in the Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary. Also see: Tetragrammaton, within the Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary for a reference to the above stuff about the Heavenly Father’s Name)

Note that in the following 4 languages that the Tetragrammaton is spelled with FOUR VOWELS:
The Four (Hebrew) Vowels [not consonants]: יהוה {The Personal Name of Eloahim}
י - Yod - Produces a “ee" sound
ה - Heh - Here it produces an "ah sound”
ו - Vav - Transliterated "Waw" in English. Produces the "oo sound ", as in too
ה - Heh - Here it produces the "ay sound”

Transliterated by Four (Greek) vowels: Ιαβε {dubbed the Tetragrammaton}
Ι - Produces an “ee sound”
α - Produces an “ah sound”
β - Produces the “oo sound”, as in too
ε - Produces the “ay sound”

Transliterated by Four (Latin) vowels: IAUE {Transcription of the Tetragrammaton}
I - Produces a “ee" sound
a - Produces an “ah sound”
u - Produces the "oo sound", as in too
e - Produces the “ ay sound”

Once Again Accurately Transliterated / Transcribed by Four(English)Vowels: Iaue/Iawe or even
Jaue/Jawe/Yaue/Yawe [as all of these letters if not vowels are semi-vowels]
the "J"s in the bible names stand as a cursive "I"
I,E,Y,J(cursive I) - produce the "ee" sound
a - produces an “ah sound”
u/w - Produces the "oo sound", as in too
a/e - Produces the “ ay sound”

In the preceding Four Languages ( with their Appropriate Vowels )
the Tetragrammaton (a Four Vowel-Letter Name of the Hebrew Eloahim)
is to be pronounced as follows ( accented on the last syllable ):
Hebrew / Latin / English / Greek
ee ah - oo - AY

The O in the form Iehovah a.k.a.- Jehovah was not left out of the form Yahweh in particular,
but was left out altogether with the other foreign vowels.

By the way the W in Yahweh is to be pronounced as -oo-.

If you really want to know more about the Truth, read Chapter 9 found here at the following:
http://www.yahweh.org/PDF_index1.html
This Chapter in the book “The Sacred Name of Yahweh” explains every thing thoroughly,
and therefore should be no doubt about how the Heavenly Father’s Sacred Name is pronounced, unless one just wants to stick to TRADITION and not TRUTH.

Shalom,

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

Cormac,

Thank you for that information. I just took a look at John 1, and as JW's do away with the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, (they) have certainly done so in this chapter.

I will spread word about this. Thanks again.

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

I have just done an exhaustive research of this Bible. NO where did I find that anyone associated with this "Bible" is in anyway associated with the Watchtower Organization in any way. That being said, I did find that the NSB has it's own worldwide following, websites and such, which freely include Islamic and Moslem followers and that the Simplified groups are filled with both Christian heretical beliefs as well as Islamic beliefs. I do not think it fair, even when we strongly disagree with a Religion/sect, that we should do what we are so accustomed to seeing in the world today of falsely spreading rumors. This is not the Lords way..falsehoods are rejected..plain fact... Jesus did not fall into the trap of the Pharisees, by spreading falsehood about Judaism, nor did Paul...they refuted the false teachings and the false teachers.

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

I am not going to defend my review of this "Bible". I did not condenm anyone, nor did I excuse anyone for heretical teachings..and I am quite sure that the Islamics and Moslems that do condone this "version" are not true converts. I am not a convert Either!!! And I am not defending it!!! I have read it...But the JW's use the Wescott and Hort Translation..the NSB does not really state what MSS they used...But in the Preface the Translator/editor/whatever disavows a relationship with the Watchtower people...and that was all i was referring to. I said mothing about "love" or for the sake of "love ..so expose on..I do not fault that..but, I do believe that there should always be truth...MAYBE NOT LOVE ..BUT TRUTH..AFTER ALL JESUS SAID I AM THE TRUTH, not caps because of anger just emphasizing...
btw I said there was heresy in the NSB...

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

I ask, how important is this issue with the NSB? Read on.

I suppose I misunderstood you when you said the "groups" who espouse the version are heretical to somehow and rather that I should have read into that you meant the text or actual NSB is?

I am also not seeing wherein you did an "exhaustive" study on this, unless it stands as an exaggeration from you of your study. The post was presented (yours) hours after Cormacs exposition of error. Exhaustive? Are we dealing in truth here or simply emotion? I seriously doubt an "exhaustive" study was done, nor was it really necessary when the point is plain: The NSB is full of bias and error.

Now, an exhaustive study could (and probably should) be done to continue to expose who wrote this edition, why he or she wrote it, what the basis of saids theology is, their background in "the kingdom" and also what is his or her ability in the languages &c. Also, who else does endorse them, and has laid hands on them for such an important task at this, and to ministry, to present to the world a "bible." Yes. It is this important. This is God's Word we are dealing with here, not some hobby, and to that, mens souls are at stake. So it is way more important than coming out prematurely with an "exhaustive" study, and laying claim therein that one does not see JW theology in it (by implication) when a mere crack into it's pages will reveal it as such. Yes, again, this is that important. This text has crept in like a false teacher literally "unawares" into the kingdom. It needs to be exposed. It needs to be researched.

But to come out and post and basically do away with Cormacs blog at a whim was premature. I for one appreciate his stand for truth and exposition of error.

The truth and the point stands; this text, whether from WH or not, is laced and infested with JW theology, denial of the triune Godhead and total denial of the Deity of Christ.

Cormac is correct in his exposing this error and it's JW theology. Let's not call it ugly, nor stand in the gap doubting its JW roots as this is quite apparent. Let's rather rejoice in one standing for the Truth, and for watching a brother do so. I for one am glad he showed it for what it is, I can forewarn others of this who have dl'ed this error, in that they do not pick up on it's false theology.

It is truth that sets us free, not love.

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

There are a number of contemporary Christian organizations that do not promote a Trinitarian understanding of the Bible.
 
It is entirely possible, indeed, statistically probable, that the individual who created this translation is neither currently, nor formerly associated with The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.
 
As such, speculation about the translator's theological associations is לשון הרע

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

Many are aware that certain "christian" groups do not support a Trinitarian theology.

However:

That is a nice sounding post, and although you provide nothing but your opinion, and nothing for even a basis of your opinion, thus, a glance into the text of the NSB doesn't support your hypothesis. I'll continue then to warn others of it's nature and of the theology it propagates concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

Also, more information can be found here to support my theory that it is indeed watchtower based. (Note the link at the site takes you to watchtower itself, where the TEXT is taken from.)

This is not just my opinion.

Re: New Simplified Bible -9.x

It looks like I was being too subtle.

 

The accusations about the editor of the translation are לשון הרע

That automatically makes those accusations, and their discussion, a violation of the policies of this site.
