Then there is the truth of what "Kev" actually said.
"btw, I am an apostate, I really don't care, really, really.
Do you understand what apostasy is?
Do you know what the Watchtower, your faith leaders, instruct with regard to apostasy?
They describe apostates as "mentally diseased", don't they, the leaders of your own faith?
Let me educate you what your own faith leaders instruct.
"... The Bible says that apostates are mentally diseased and that they use their teachings to make others think like them. (1 Timothy 6:3, 4) Jehovah is like that good doctor. He clearly tells us to stay away from false teachers... "Watchtower 2100 Jul 15 Study Ed.
" "How can we safeguard ourselves from following the course of ridiculers? One way is to avoid associating with those who show a critical attitude. (Read Psalm 1:1.) This means that we do not listen to or read anything from apostates." Watchtower Study Edition October 2022 p.20"
A TRADITIONAL sexist was left feeling hurt after being branded a woman-hating misogynist.
Martin Bishop of Leeds enjoys leering, wolf-whistling and breast-and-arse-related ‘banter’, so was mortified when someone suggested he had a problem with the opposite sex.
Bishop said: “I see myself very much as a ‘Jack the lad’ figure. I love talking about women’s bodies and cracking jokes about how they belong in the kitchen. You know – traditional, wholesome sexism.
“But the other day I was hitting on some tart in a club and she had the nerve to call me a ‘misogynistic pig’ – just because...
Page upon page of abuse on the same thread, and which he removed, of course being the god fearing Christian he says that he is.![]()
So, Kev reads this article, saying,
and then he says,The Bible says that apostates are mentally diseased and that they use their teachings to make others think like them. (1 Timothy 6:3, 4) Jehovah is like that good doctor. He clearly tells us to stay away from false teachers...",
So, Kev is acknowledging firstly that he is apostate, and he even shared a scripture for us. But he also claimed the New World Translation is not the same. So I'll present my case with Kev's information. Thank you Kev.""btw, I am an apostate, I really don't care, really, really."
Let's look at the scripture: 1Timothy 6:3-4 says this in the Greek Interlinear:
"If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not come forward with healthy words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the [according to piety, instruction], he is dulled [nothing, having knowledge of], but diseased concerning inquiries and arguings over words, of which becomes envies, strife, blasphemies, [opinions bad].
Here's what the KJV says:
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Here's the Emphatic Diaglott (Vatican manuscript 1209):
"If any one teach differently, and not assents to being sound in words in those of the Lord of us Jesus Anointed, and so that according to piety teaching; he is puffed up, nothing being versed in, but being sick about questions and strifes of words, out of which arises envy, strife, evil-speakings, suspicions wicked,"
...and seeming how Kev claims it's different, let's look at the New World Translation. Firstly, we'll use the older one, for the sake of the wording that Kev used.
"If any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words. From these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions,"
and the version of the New World Translation, released in 2013 says,
"If any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our Lord Jesus Christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion, he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything. He is obsessed with arguments and debates about words. These things give rise to envy, strife, slander, wicked suspicions,"
Well, I thank Kev, for clearing that up for us. He is right. The scripture DOES say he's mentally diseased in some of those translations by his very definition of calling himself an apostate.
Also, the New World Translation is no different. I don't know why he has to lie for. It's produced in hundreds of languages, and available to anyone with an internet connection, so they can read it themselves.
Also, it shows that the brothers DO follow the scriptures in this instance with view to apostates. Poor Kev. He'll have to take God to court, as it isn't Jehovah's Witnesses who wrote the Bible. They (I'm not yet one of Jehovah's Witnesses although Kev thinks it) just do what the Bible says, as they believe it is God's word. I do too.
But I don't believe Kev "really don't care, really, really". Because if Kev didn't, they'd not be stalking me all around the internet with its vile speech, lies and accusations. Why won't they put me on ignore, and stop stalking me?
