Barney's neetter in tbe'Letters to t,#e Editor (Thursday, March 13, 1980 titled "Let'snot force issue says Barney". It, does not sound very strange to me that Mr. Barney .should abandon the "ship so to speak, and discontinue writing on the issue of the Deity °of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is typical of all the , Jehovah's Witnesses who when scripturally proven to be wrong, will back off, as they prefer to debate biblical issues with people who are biblicly illiterate, and therefore are an easy prey to this cult. Among other things, Mr. Barney states that quote:.... ��.rnen...-will ....know - that" thou whose name alone is Jehovah art the most high over all the earth". (Psalms 83:18). Whatever makes Jehovah's Witnesses• think that they , are the only ones who proclaim this great truth men- tioned in the Psalms? True Christians . who study the Bible (and Bible only) acknowledge that Jehovah is God, but also that Jesus is Jehovah and so is the Holy Spirit. • A scripture that the Jehovah's Witnesses have twisted like a pretzel in their New World Translation is John 1:1. They have made it to read in full harmony with their preconceived and erroneous beliefs as "the word was a god". Jehovah's Witnesses are hard pressed when asked who the "scholars" are who produced . the New World Translation as they have none! The only known Hebrew and Greek "scholars the Watchtower Society has is F. W. Franz and in a trial in Scotland in 1954, under oath, he testified that he could neither read or write or speak Hebrew or Greek. How's that for scholarship? It's also very in- teresting to note that Greek scholars do not agree with the rendering of John 1:1 in the New World, Translation. (Watciftower Bible). What do Greek scholars really think of. the New World Translation? "..:the word was a god."? Dr. J. R. Mantey, (who is quoted on pages 1158- 1159 df the Witness own '-"-:':i�'in g"d'o in-•""-�I o f erTi n e a r --- Translation) : "A shocking mistran- slation."; "obsolete and incorrect"; "It is neither scholarly nor reasonable to translate John 1:1 "The word was a god". Dr. Bruce M. Metzger of Princeton (Professor of New Testament Langupge• and Literature): "A frightful mistranslation. "Erroneous" and "PERNICIOUS": "reprehensible"; "If the Jehovah's Witnesses take this translation seriously, they are polytheists." Dr. Charles L. Boyer of Winona Lake, Indiana: "I have never heard of, or omplete Reye's recovery to for Staffa 0 area ger MITCHELL - After several weeks of illness, a nine-year-old Staffa area girl has recovered from) sometimes fatal disease Reye's Syndrome. She was expected to return home last week from London's Victoria Hospital where she had been undergoing , treat- ment since arch 2. While she made a complete recovery and is expected ' to return to school in another week, another girl, Donna Jane Forrest, 15, of Clinton died on March 22 at Victoria from Reye's Syndrome. Another child, being treated at the London hospital in the past month, has suffered permanent brain damage as a result of the disease. react of any Greek scholar wbo 'would agree to the interpretation of this verse insisted upon by the Jehovah's Witnesses.. -I have never encountered one of them who had any knowledge of the Greek language." Dr. J. Johnson of California State University, Long Beach: "No justification whatsoever for tran- slating theous en ho logso as "the word was a god". There is no syntactical parallel to Acts 23:6' where there is a state1ent in indirect discourse; John 1:1 is • direct. -°I am neither a Christian nor , a trinitari•an .''- WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES TO NORMAL FAMILY REQUIREMENTS! At least a non-Christian is honest enough to recognize the truth of John 1:1 where it says in the Greek that "The word was God". Mr. Barney and all Jehovah's Witnesses for that matter, are we to simply ignore these efninent Greek scholars, and stubbornly cling to the manmade teachings of the Watchtower, none of whom had any edrucation. "to speak of in Greek grammar? The question is begging for an answer.
