Does your bible insert the Tetragrammaton in places in the New Testament when none of the original New Testament manuscripts contained the Tetragrammaton? Does your NWT bible insert the name JEHOVAH into the New Testament 237 times? The answer is either 'yes' or 'no'. There is exactly zero (0) (none) (not any) historical evidence for the Tetragrammaton ever being used in any first century New Testament manuscript. The Tetragrammaton is not a special divine name with magic powers. It is simply ancient Hebrew for "Supreme Lord." The Watchtower Society having claimed expertise to translate ancient scriptures, is totally unaware that the word JEHOVAH actually means LORD. This should tell you all you need to know about their bible translation. > Concerning you web page above, I scanned over it. At one point I said > "how ridiculous".

The only questions anyone should ask James are rhetorical questions. -- Nightbulb | https://blog.nightbulb.net | Flip the night switch.
