So here we are looking at Matt 24:45 and scratching our heads. Who is the faithful and discreet slave?? What if we had nothing to aid our understanding? No one to explain? Could we figure it out just from the pages of the Bible? Let’s try! How can we do that? We have to…
Power to Reason 💡 Let’s use it!
The verses below show a major translation difference between the KJV (along with all other English translations) and the NWT. Take a look at them and then meet me again underneath the photo. So above we see that the Kingdom interlinear shows the KJV to be on track and the NWT to be…not so much….
🔥Punishment or Destruction? 💀
Interesting early Christian history. Polycarp. ( Lived AD 65-155) direct disciple of Apostle John. Became the 2nd bishop of smyrna. As he was being burned at the stake for the name of Christ…He said to his tormentor….”You threaten with fire that burns for an hour and then is extinguished, for you are ignorant of the…
Today. Or not Today.
Commas can be life changing. I mean, for the thief next to Jesus, it was the difference between paradise today or paradise thousands of years in the future.

NWT Gospel Twisting
Compare each phrase side by side. But pay most attention to the highlights. This is THE GOSPEL we are talking about. The main message of salvation…the MESSAGE we are to preach to the world! Let’s get it right! This is Paul’s definition of the Gospel (or good news of Christ) Paul tells us what was…
