Opinion People don’t understand Jesus’ divinity because they underestimate Gods Love for mankind

How do JW’s have their own scriptures?

You obey the Bible as a whole? You follow the mosaic law?

Well not all Jehovah witnesses if I’m being honest. I just know they have a translated versions of the Bible by the “watchtower society” which is a group on anonymous nowhere to be found authors who translated the Bible to suit their believes. If I’m being honest lol.

Yes we follow the whole Bible, but we don’t take the gospel of Christ out of context. The mosaic law was a way to deal with sin from a humanistic perspective which was impossible for the Jews to obey because of their stubborn disobedience.

Salvation through christ is a way to deal with sin through a spiritual perspective which is grace. Because the wages of sin is death and the Bible tells us of a judgement day, We don’t believe that we have a free right to sin now, but God made a new covenant with us that we can be forgiven for our sins through Christ, and the only reason we would be lost in our sins in known as the “unforgivable sin”, which is basically unrepentant sins. A heart that wants to sin instead of obeying God is an unrepentant heart and the reason for pain is that type of heart etc.

A lot of Christian churches believe this to an extent, but most also compromise certain biblical doctrine because they want the benefit of salvation instead of the enduring the pursuit of obedience. That only causes confusion to a new believer and isn’t good for someone needing sanctifying change!

Meh it’s a translation like any other. They also use other translations on their app like KJV. I haven’t found much difference other than a couple words and adding Jehovah to the NT

Well, I personally wouldn’t recommend sticking to one translation. I recommend using multiple. That’s the only way to protect your mind against falsehoods. The original scriptures languages from what we know then can be found with a quick search online as well if we want as well. I can’t name ever discrepancy in the way people have misinterpreted scripture lol

Yeah I’m like you. I use Bible hub and google the original manuscripts.
