The DOORSTEP BIBLE Answering Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses features footnotes explaining how Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses twist the Scriptures -- and how to answer them on each point.DAVID A REED served for a decade as a contributing editor of Dr. Walter Martin's Christian Research Journal and has authored some twenty books on Bible topics, including a dozen on Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. His most popular on these two sects are:Mormons Answered Verse by Verse (Baker Book House)andJehovah's Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse (Baker Book House) -- Also published in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Faroese and partially in ArabicThe DOORSTEP BIBLE Answering Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses features a modern Bible translation with notes explaining the verses that Mormons and JWs love to quote out of context -- along with notes on other verses they hate to look at because the plain reading of Scripture proves their interpretations wrong.The DOORSTEP BIBLE features the text of The Original Bible for Modern Readers (TOB).The TOB Bible version renders the divine name as Jehovah where the Hebrew name for God - the Tetragrammaton - occurs in the original manuscripts, which is especially useful in responding to both Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. A comparison with the JW New World Translation exposes the presumptuousness of JW translators who inappropriately added "Jehovah" where it does not appear in the original manuscripts - such as at Romans 14:8, for example. Moreover, the appearance of the expression "Jehovah God" throughout the Old Testament disproves polytheistic Mormon claims that the name "Jehovah" and the title "God" (Hebrew Elohim) refer to two different Gods in their pantheon. (See the footnotes at Genesis 2:4 and Deuteronomy 6:4.)Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are quite different theologically, but quite similar in a number of other ways.Theologically, Mormons view the Father, Son and Holy Ghost as three different gods, believe that God the Father was once a man, and believe that their church members will someday become gods, too -- while JWs believe that the Father is God alone, the Son is merely the first angel God created, and the "holy spirit" (which they do not capitalize) is neither God nor a person, but just a force that God uses to get things done.However, the two sects are very similar in a number of ways:Both view theirs as the only true Church, the restoration of true Christianity-and all other churches as apostate false religions.Both originated in the western New York-Pennsylvania area of America during the 1800s.Both send members door-to-door, recruiting new members and spreading their message to your doorstep.Both have produced their own Bible translations with key verses modified or added to fit their unique teachings.Both give lip service to the Bible, but actually put other publications above the Bible as their guide to belief and practice.And, most seriously, both put members into an Old Testament style supposed relationship with God through an organizational hierarchy, rather than a New Testament style personal relationship with God through the risen Christ. Both sects usurp the role of Jesus as Lord, Savior and Mediator by putting their organizational hierarchy in that role instead -- requiring obedience to the organization (so it becomes their 'Lord'), making salvation dependent upon the organization (so it becomes their 'Savior'), and placing the organization in the position of Mediator, acting as God's spokesman or mouthpiece on earth today.This volume will help you "contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." (Jude 1:3 TOB)

Download or read book Leaving the Witness written by Amber Scorah and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating glimpse into the consciousness of being an outsider in every possible way, and what it takes to find your path into the life you'd like to lead."--Nylon A riveting memoir of losing faith and finding freedom while a covert missionary in one of the world's most restrictive countries. A third-generation Jehovah's Witness, Amber Scorah had devoted her life to sounding God's warning of impending Armageddon. She volunteered to take the message to China, where the preaching she did was illegal and could result in her expulsion or worse. Here, she had some distance from her community for the first time. Immersion in a foreign language and culture--and a whole new way of thinking--turned her world upside down, and eventually led her to lose all that she had been sure was true. As a proselytizer in Shanghai, using fake names and secret codes to evade the authorities' notice, Scorah discreetly looked for targets in public parks and stores. To support herself, she found work at a Chinese language learning podcast, hiding her real purpose from her coworkers. Now with a creative outlet, getting to know worldly people for the first time, she began to understand that there were other ways of seeing the world and living a fulfilling life. When one of these relationships became an "escape hatch," Scorah's loss of faith culminated in her own personal apocalypse, the only kind of ending possible for a Jehovah's Witness. Shunned by family and friends as an apostate, Scorah was alone in Shanghai and thrown into a world she had only known from the periphery--with no education or support system. A coming of age story of a woman already in her thirties, this unforgettable memoir examines what it's like to start one's life over again with an entirely new identity. It follows Scorah to New York City, where a personal tragedy forces her to look for new ways to find meaning in the absence of religion. With compelling, spare prose, Leaving the Witness traces the bittersweet process of starting over, when everything one's life was built around is gone.

Download or read book The Original Bible written by David Reed and published by . This book was released on 2013-02-13 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THOUSANDS of ancient manuscripts, including the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient documents, confirm that we today possess the original Bible. And multiple independent translations allow modern readers to see that the Word of God has been faithfully translated into our own language. The availability of many good translations today also makes it possible for readers to get a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding as they read the Bible over and over again, following the admonition to "meditate on it day and night." (Joshua 1:8, compare Psalm 1:2) The divine Author of the Bible used dozens of human penmen to produce the collection of histories, psalms, prophecies and teachings that are bound together today as one Bible-Old Testament and New Testament-for us to read, take to heart, and obey. He produced the Bible for our benefit: "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words . . . and keep the things that are written in it . . ."-Revelation 1:3"Every Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."-2 Timothy 3:16-17"For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart."-Hebrews 4:12 The Bible's divine Author wants us to read it, to think about it, and to discuss it with our families: ". . . you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul. . . . You shall teach them to your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up."--Deuteronomy 11:18-19 THE ORIGINAL BIBLE FOR MODERN READERS (TOB) follows the tradition of the American Standard Version (ASV), The Jerusalem Bible (JB), The Living Bible (LB) and the World English Bible (WEB) in featuring the sacred name of God wherever it occurs in surviving manuscripts of the Old Testament-rather than the custom of substituting the title the LORD in small caps. So, where some other translations speak of the "fearful name, the LORD," "the LORD . . . This is my name forever," and "I will proclaim my name, the LORD" (Deut. 28:58, Ex. 3:15, 33:19), TOB features God's name, as the original manuscripts did.With a few exceptions, The Original Bible for Modern Readers features the text of the copyright-free World English Bible (November 2012 HTML version). The exceptions include the occasional use of the World English Bible's alternate readings from the footnotes where those seem more understandable, corrections found in later updates of the World English Bible, the word used when rendering the divine name, and the use of quotation marks, paragraphing, etc. in sections where that work had not yet been completed in the WEB.Rather than the transliteration Yahweh, The Original Bible for Modern Readers uses the more familiar translation Jehovah, following the pattern of the American Standard Version and The Living Bible -- consistent with the English translation and pronunciation of the names of the Messiah and ancient Jewish kings: Jesus ("Jehovah saves"), Jehoshaphat ("Jehovah judges") and Jehoram ("Jehovah is exalted"), for example. YOU MAY FREELY COPY from The Original Bible for Modern Readers, because it is not copyrighted. It is in the public domain, so you are free to quote from it and to reproduce it in whole or in part, without any need to pay royalties or even to ask permission.
