  John 13:35 Mistranslated?

  by KerryKing in

  2. beliefs

  disclaimer!

  i am not a bible translator not do i speak ancient greek or hebrew.. john 13: 35 nwt : 'by this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves '.. (curiously, this verse is not listed in the nwt index under the word 'disciples'.).

  the biblehub interlinear reads : ' by this will know all that to me disciples you are if love you have among yourselves '.. could it actually mean, contrary to all bible translations, that it is jesus himself, and not people in general, who identifies his disciples because they show love among each other?.

  The Watchtower capitalised on centuries of Christian charity that has been the foundational framework of our Western Civilization to preach their own version of "have love among yourselves". Threatening members with disfewllowshiping to tow the line is not a genuine expression of Christian love. In the same way that North Korean citizens showing love for their leader is not genuine love. They confuse unity (=motivated by love) with uniformity

  This is the translation from the Kingdom Interlinear that the Watchtower promotes on their website

  
  

  The crucial word is "ean=if ever" I don't see why anyone will translate EAN as "if ever" , it doesn't work. The correct interpretation should be "if(=EAN) you love among yourselves."

  (=I'm Greek, with 3 years studies in Koini)

  What is the context through the lense of the first few centuries of the church? The type of love Christians portrayed was UNIQUE for the first few centuries and the reason many pagans converted to Christianity, some excerpts below

  I don't think he will hit 100 patreons anytime soon ,I think the rock bottom is 300-350 and it will be for some time but that's not alot of money. Will he run off to USA? Will he come back to the UK? Who knows? But one thing is certain that at this level things must be getting desperate that's why we don't see as many videos anymore he must be planning his next move away from YouTube. One thing is certain it won't involve manual labour😂🤶😂

  His lordship was grooming a girl in Bramhall and the father who is an elder, guess what's his name is got wiff of it. That, with Djiana's revelations to the elders made them put two and two together and of course the elders in Bramhall freaked out!!!

  The Wilmslow jc was a sham, and was only convined to give him a quick pass to Croatia.Wilmslow elders are famous for their sweeping things under the carpet.

  The girl from Bramhall is happily married and moved out of the area and no one wants her to revisit her memories with the fat blob, but I know her family and a quick phonecall if the occasions arises will be enough to get the fat slob sweating.

  As I said it is only a matter of time ...and the time is on our side.

  Of course he can do the easy thing and completely dissappear and close his patreon account and get a 9-5 job but we all know he won't do any of that...and that's why we are still here

  I know alot more, but the people involved are still deep in the cult and can't cause more commotion he should be looking over his back though because once one of these elders leaves the borg he will be on my channel with the rest of the story

  After having been instructed from his elder dad to escape Wilmslow to avoid this kind of judicial committee in the UK by Bethelite Reps this meeting followed him in Croatia. You can say whatever you like about the JW judicial system but they are proficient at chasing you around the globe if they think that you are liability. So that judicial committee was orchestrated by the UK Bethel that contacted the Croatian Bethel and got the ball rolling. His apostasy was just a camouflage for his online audience that totally fell for it and some still to this day finance his appalling behaviour.

  The list is endless.There is only ONE rotten egg in the exjw community all the rest we are friends and promote each others work.

  Don't you get it you MORON that he makes us all look bad by association and destroys our activist work???

  "The positive outweigh the negatives" is an argument the Watchtower used to destroy our lives , we are not falling for that again...

  You know the secret societies have taken over your once beloved religion when they start using the name Sophia, not found in the Bible and not used by any Jewish people to name a girl, but can be found as the main godess of the Gnostics and their writings
