It would be the NWT for many reasons. One reason which is a very important one is that in most bibles the name of God which is Jehovah has been removed from them by almost 7K times. First why would the name of Almighty God be removed in most bibles and even completely removed in some? It actually helps in the formulation of the trinity doctrine, but that ...[text shortened]... if it really can be trusted to be truthful on all levels if it removes the name of Almighty God?
In translation is God = Jehovah, Does Lord = Jehovah, Almighty = Jehovah? Are there other names of God that are removed?

I'm aware many people here are Christians, and I'm just curious as to what translation of The Bible you personally read and why.

What other Bible scholars have made an independent study as to the accuracy and bias of Bible translations, none that I know of.

Originally posted by leunammiYes some of those titles are some of the examples of where his name, Jehovah was removed. Actually if you'd like to read this if you have the time it will shed more light on his name and the removal of it better then I can. I type really slow...Lol. Let me know what you think. Steve.

Interesting, we have an independent recognised linguistic expert, an associate professor who has surveyed the most popular English translations of the Bible and made a comparative study for bias in translation stating that the New world translation is the most accurate and you say and I quote,' I would not give a moment's notice of serious attention' ...[text shortened]... leading to death, to the former ones a fragrance of life leading to life. -" 2 Corinthinas 2:16
Perfect timing with the perfect scripture!!!!!!

Originally posted by leunammiThere are to my knowledge about 260? occurrence of our having restored the divine name as manuscripts, codices come to light. The criticism that some have levelled against us for doing so is that we are taking liberties with the text. This is not the case. If the divine name is quoted either directly or in abbreviated form in the Hebrew scriptures we carry that over into the Greek portion of scripture.
Is the name Jehovah replaced by the NWT mainly OT or NT as well?
For example Joel 2:32 - 'everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved'. Many translations render this as, 'everyone who calls on the name of the lord will be saved'. When you look however at the original Hebrew, the Divine name of God is present.
http://biblehub.com/text/joel/2-32.htm
Now when Paul quotes directly from Joel Chapter 2:32 in the Greek scriptures we also include the divine name because its a direct quotation from the original Hebrew. Thus the NWT reads, 'everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved' Romans 10:13. Most translations read, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord.'
There are some instances when there is no direct Hebrew text carrying the divine name and these are probably the most controversial, but even here we have references. If its rendered in another translation for example we have a tendency to include it in ours.

Originally posted by FMFBecause of the respect I have of those 8 million to choose to use and follow Jehovah's guidance no matter what the rest of the world thinks of us. He said only those who "call on the name of Jehovah, will be saved". Our hope and goal by hard door to door teaching work is to help find as many humans who want to use his name and in turn themselves find more who are looking for that relationship with him.
So what traction do you think your 'point' about "8 million" people actually has?
How can anyone else have a close relationship with him when they don't even call him by his name?
