Hi DavidQuote (david @ Nov. 04 2008,13:44)Add to this the apostate political deeply a part of the world establishement that ruled for so long, and that crushed people that went against it, how was anyone to argue?

Quote (david @ Nov. 04 2008,13:12)WJ, of course, English is unambiguous, as it has the definite and indefinite articles. GREEK DOESN'T. Let me repeat that for the 43d time. GREEK DOESN'T.No David. The Greek language is not ambiguous; it is the interpretation of it. Haven’t you figured that out yet?Do you think the Apostle John was being ambi…[Read more]

If not then your argument is circular David, AND IS JUST A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO PROVE THE NWT AS BEING A VALID TRANSLATION OF JOHN 1:1 WHICH ALSO SHOWS YOUR OWN BIAS WHILE YOU ACCUSE THE ENGLISH T…[Read more]Worshipping Jesus replied to the topic Coptic versions of the bible in the forum Bible Texts & Translations 17 years, 10 months ago

Hi DavidQuote (david @ Oct. 22 2008,17:59)Are you suggesting the coptic version is less ambiguous than latin, Greek, aramaic, etc when it comes to John How can anything be “less ambiguous”? It is either ambiguous or it is unambiguous. Quote (david @ Oct. 22 2008,17:59)I've decided you're wrong on this point because you worship Jesus. And I have…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 20 2008,11:39)That's dishonest WJ. And fallacious thinking.No its dishonest of you to bring up the Coptic version and promote it as being “Unambiguous” while trying to convince us it has nothing to do with your devotion to the NWT or Watchtower.
