When clearly observing Isaiah 43:10 and John 8:58, are the Jehovah's Witnesses guilty of eisegesis?

    John. 13:19: "hina pisteusete ... hoti ego eimi I am [he]" (NWT)
    Isaiah. 43:10: "hina pisteusete ... hoti ego eimi I am [He]" The NWT translation says "I am the same One" NWT

    Even if one were to theorize that Jesus Himself did not attempt to make such an obvious connection between Himself and Yahweh (which would be difficult enough to do!) why would John, being obviously familiar with the LXX, intentionally insert this kind of parallelism?

    When they selected and ignore the apocrapha and many other holy books is that not the same ? let snot forget the book of Daniel is longer in the catholic bible as well. If you read the Ehtiopian holy bible it too is the same but different. Ask the muslims and they will also tell you the bible was corrupted and they have the updated and corrected version.
