I am interested in whether you agree or disagree that translation is different from restoration and whether you agree or disagree that the divine name has been removed from the original autographs.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieBut the issue is BeDuhn's criticism of the NT in the NWT. This has been the issue for the last four thread pages.

robbie, have you actually read Jason BeDuhn's analysis of this? Is you-haven't-read-it the impediment to you commenting on his criticism?

Originally posted by FMFthis is a debates forum you are being asked your perspective on matters that are directly related to the claims of the book. why are you unable to answer those questions?
My view is not the issue. Is a response to Jason BeDuhn's critical analysis somehow off-limits for you?

Search for them yourself. You are adept at retrospectively taking elements from the past and bringing them to the fore, it should be no problem for you.
Originally posted by FMFoh dear, it seems that you have spoken to soon, perhaps best to take that foot from your mouth and place it firmly back on the floor.

Do you even actually acknowledge the fact that he is highly critical of the NWT's NT?

for the record,
these arguments that i am presenting come essentially from a publication , Accuracy and bias in English translations of the new testament, written by associate professor Jason BeDhun, who is not a witness and has no association with the watchtower and bible tract society, which i posses and have read with pleasure on numerous occasions. - robbie carrobie
