JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES &
THE TROJAN HORSE!

While trawling through blog world I came
across some Christians whose love for a
particular version of the Bible seems to
have affected their better judgement. The
result is that they are unwittingly conceding
the argument we have with JWs over the
Trinity.

Let me explain; these Christians argument goes as
follows:- certain modern Bible versions relegate
one particular verse to the footnotes [eg 1 John 5v7].
This verse has a strong Trinitarian content but has
generally been thought to be a later addition. So
these good hearted Christians are naturally outraged
and decry this as a terrible compromise of a critical
Bible doctrine. they insist that only their favoured
Bible translation faithfully reflects this truth and that
real Christians should stick to this one and reject
other, more modern,translations as fatally flawed.

At this point I could imagine an onlooking Jehovah's
Witness smiling and saying, "so you are telling me
that the whole edifice of Trinitarian theology stands
or falls on a handful of verses in one Bible translation
which are disputed by the majority of the original texts?!"
I bet he or she couldn't believe their luck when they
turned up on your doorstep!

Of course the whole argument is vacuous. One verse
may be disputed, but the doctrine of the Trinity rests on
infinitely more evidence than that. Our Christian bloggers
have made a well intentioned but dreadful error of
judgement in implying the critical nature of Bible versions
in this matter.

I would suggest, for starters, that one looks up the
prophecies attributed to Jehovah (upper case LORD in
most regular Bibles) which are subsequently fulfilled by
Jesus Christ. One also needs to check out what Jesus
claimed for himself, John chapter 8 has some interesting
surprises.

If any JW out there in blog world wants to take issue with
me I am open for comments. [Comments mark you - over
lengthy sermons WILL be deleted - you can use your own
blog space for that!]
