You asked ME? ? ? WHERE? ? ?
Pls always know who you address. You never asked me any question I didn't answer. If you know you did pls link to it. This is such a simple question, why would I avoid it?
Also, ppl are at liberty to not respond to everything they see. m sure u know this. There are so many things a person thinks of on his own, than to answer everything they see esp if you don't call them directly. Next time pls don't say stuff like this again unless u actually ask me!
Second, it takes a lot to type. It also takes an honest heart to read it all, if one really wants to be sure of what they know. It's not too huge a price to pay to read a lot if u know u don't know it all and your salvation may be at stake, no matter what.
To respond to this u asked, here, the King James translators used a particular manuscript that it appeared in, but this manuscript is a later manuscript. It doesn't appear in the earlier ones, so it's safe to translate it without the words used in King James, because earlier manuscripts don't have it. But note that King James translators ACTUALLY SAW IT in the manuscript they used; they didn't invent it from nothing. But because the earlier manuscripts don't have it that way it's better to not include it in a translation (that's why more recent translations exclude it). Everyone knows it's a weak way to defend trinity...
You see, I can never use such scripture to defend trinity. I won't even use John 1:1. In fact, I will use the New World Translation of the JWs to prove trinity right in anyone's face! Because I know it's the truth of God's word. I can use anything. It'll remain the same.
Now over to you. Respond to my earlier comment as I've now responded to yours.
Oh it wasn't you I asked no vex.

I like it short and precise.

Which one is authentic? The ones KJV use or the one some other translations use?

Alright. Go for it.

First, who were the first people to believe in the trinity?
When was the doctrine established?

Janosky see this thing isn't hard. If Jesus was truly doing what you ppl say he was doing, then it won't be difficult to see him EACH DAY saying "Jehovah Jehovah Jehovah" every time so as to make that name known to his disciples. We won't have to be depending on quoted scripture only. Don't u think he will like to use the name all the time every chance he got? Like every time o! Every second of everyday! That we don't see this happening should prove it enough to you that you're wrong! Not even ONCE! Every time quoted scripture that the translators put "Jehovah" inside! That doesn't even appear in the original manuscript. Very very weak argument

The Jewish Rabbis decided to stop using God's personal name centuries before Jesus Christ but by the time Jesus walked the earth most Jews still know the name that's why Jesus only mention it in few instances since his listeners knows the name of their God:

Jesus answered: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah" Mark 12:29 compare to Deuteronomy 6:4

But most translators erroneous substitute the divine name with the title "LORD" that's why you will see verses like Psalms 23:1 say:

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalms 23:1

If the divine name is restored back to it's place this is what David said:

Jehovah is my Shepherd. I will lack nothing.

Those translators had serious issue when under inspiration David later talked about what will happen in heaven when the Messiah (Christ) complete his earthly mission {John 19:30} and return to heaven.
David said:

Jehovah declared to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet" Psalms 110:1

Let's read the same verse in most versions that the divine name has been removed:

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psalms 110:1

Can the upper or lower case be noticed in the reading if you're preaching to someone who feel like giving you a audience? The answer is NO! smiley

Nice job guys! These JW minions keep looking stupid consistently. Even Watchtower disgraced them further by admitting that they are connected to IBSA in their own publications. grin No wonder they want to get rid of old publications. In fact, they said the work of IBSA is the work of Watchtower. They also said where you see IBSA, you see Watchtower same way Jesus said if you have seen him you have seen his Father. I hope these JW minions won't have sleepless nights over this because this is one awesome blow. They are denying IBSA for Watchtower but Watchtower is saying "Mbanu, we are IBSA" thus proving them wrong. Watchtower = IBSA. grin grin grin

Pics below from Watchtower magazine 1914. Their connection to IBSA was also repeated in Watchtower magazine of 1917 pp 327-330.

Re: "Is The Watchtower Organisation A Trustworthy Interpreter Of Scripture?" by Courz: 6:08pm On Jul 20, 2022
Watchtower also repeated the same IBSA connection in another publication you can find in their website below. Watchtower even says its corporations in New York and Pennsylvania work harmoniously together with IBSA and all 3 of these corporations are organised for Identical Purposes which tallies with similar information found in their Wikipedia page. Watchtower acknowledges IBSA as part and parcel of the History of Jehovah's witnesses. grin

Oh,how painful it must be to realise that you have been dedicating your life to a Freemason Cult disguised as a Christian one! For a One True religion to keep running a Freemason Cult that meet in Masonic Lodges!How painful! What a Scam! cheesy

So, when I said Watchtower is running IBSA and JWs at the same time, I was absolutely correct as Watchtower proved me right. Awesome right? Watchtower has always been upfront about who they really are but JWs don't pay attention or rather Watchtower doesn't permit JWs to pay attention. grin

"Is the Watchtower Organisation a Trustworthy Interpreter of Scripture?"

See how they have identified themselves collectively as God's prophet here

Is the Watchtower Organization a Trustworthy Interpreter of Scripture?
by Luke Wayne | May 20, 2016 | Jehovah's Witnesses, World Religions

The Jehovah's Witnesses identify their governing body, the Watchtower Organization, as the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matthew 24:42-46. They believe that only with this organization's Spirit-guided help can one properly understand the Bible. As one Watchtower publication put it:

"All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the 'greatly diversified wisdom of God' can become known only through Jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave," (Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1994, p. 8).

They have identified themselves collectively as God's prophet but have made many false prophecies, and have admitted that if people were to study the Bible on their own, they would arrive at traditional Christian beliefs like the Trinity rather than at the distinctive teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses. We are, therefore, asked to abandon the obvious meaning of the Bible and instead accept the Watchtower's interpretation as authoritative. The Watchtower Organization, however, has proven itself to be a completely untrustworthy interpreter of the Bible. One clear proof of this comes to us from the fact that the Watchtower system of interpretation consistently produces specific predictions. When they use their approach to the Bible to predict future events (which they have done on many occasions), they fail every time. The Watchtower writers admit that this is a perfectly fair test, having themselves said:

"Jehovah God is the Grand Identifier of his true messengers. He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers. How does he expose them? He frustrates their signs and predictions. In this way he shows that they are self-appointed prognosticators, whose messages really spring from their own false reasoning – yes, their own fleshly thinking!" (Watchtower, 1997 May 1, pg. 8)

The problem is not only that they make false predictions on the authority of God's word and are thus false prophets. That is certainly a huge problem and is more than sufficient reason to reject them, but there is more. The problem is also that the system of interpretation that leads them to these false predictions betrays the fact that they have no clue how to read and understand the Bible properly, and therefore have absolutely no grounds to insist that their own failed interpretations must be believed over against the plain meaning of the text. Such false predictions are the result of their particular method of interpretation. This is clear evidence that this interpretation is, to use their own words, "false reasoning – yes, their own fleshly thinking!"

The Watchtower Organization, however, has proven itself to be a completely untrustworthy interpreter of the Bible. One clear proof of this comes to us from the fact that the Watchtower system of interpretation consistently produces specific predictions. When they use their approach to the Bible to predict future events (which they have done on many occasions), they fail every time. The Watchtower writers admit that this is a perfectly fair test, having themselves said:

"Jehovah God is the Grand Identifier of his true messengers. He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers. How does he expose them? He frustrates their signs and predictions. In this way he shows that they are self-appointed prognosticators, whose messages really spring from their own false reasoning – yes, their own fleshly thinking!" (Watchtower, 1997 May 1, pg. 8)

The problem is not only that they make false predictions on the authority of God's word and are thus false prophets. That is certainly a huge problem and is more than sufficient reason to reject them, but there is more. The problem is also that the system of interpretation that leads them to these false predictions betrays the fact that they have no clue how to read and understand the Bible properly, and therefore have absolutely no grounds to insist that their own failed interpretations must be believed over against the plain meaning of the text. Such false predictions are the result of their particular method of interpretation. This is clear evidence that this interpretation is, to use their own words, "false reasoning – yes, their own fleshly thinking!"
