I have researched many Bible Translations. The New World Translation ( by the Watchtower ) is not even a translation, but the Watchtower simply used their own interpretations for each verse. BUT I would never totally condemn it to anyone reading it. If one is seeking Christ and the truth, they are promised to find the truth.
I knew of a young man whose grandmother gave him a Bible. He was reading it daily. But a leader of a church that opposed that translation condemned it in talking to the young man. He put it down and never read it again, or any other Bible for that matter. Certainly that young man was far better off reading any translation, than none.
Certainly anyone is better off reading ANY translation that not reading The Bible at all. Care should be taken in being critical of any translation. But certainly I will not allow anyone to CONDEMN any translation on this site. That translation could be the only one that someone may have, or it is the one given to them by someone dear to them, or the one they bought in faith convinced that The Holy Spirit told them it is the one they should read.
There are enough atheists who condemn the Bible, we do not need to help their cause.
I have made this simple request before, that no one condemn any translation, or ancient manuscript of the Bible before. That is not much to ask. If anyone can not be abide by this request with respect and courtesy, then they may need to seek another site to make their posts.
