Have you only read the parts of his book that you agree with and then avoided or ignored the critical things he said?
You once seemed to suggest that you had read his lengthy appendix in which he heavily criticized - in detail - the JW translators' insertion of the word "Jehovah" - numerous times - into the NT.
Do you even accept that this criticism exists?
Originally posted by FMFNo i have been dodging nothing, I have asked you a question which is directly related to the claims made in the book by the author which I mentioned, either you answer it or you don't, let me know when you do and I will be happy to discuss the matter.
You've been dodging the point blank question about the Bible scholar you yourself cite since the top of page 4.

1. Is translation the same as restoration.
2. Has the divine name been removed and supplanted by other terms
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe question is about Jason BeDuhn's analysis, not mine.
Do you accept that the divine name has been removed from the ancient text? Do you acknowledge that restoration is different from translation?
Is he a biblical scholar whose analysis of the translation and use of the word "Jehovah" in the NT you can trust and endorse?
Originally posted by FMFThe questions are directly related to the clams made in the book. If you do not want to answer then that is fine, but the questions remain, do you acknowledge that the divine name has been removed from the original text and do you accept that restoration is different from translation. When you can bring yourself to answer these questions, let the forum know.
