by reading the text and making an evaluation withour own minds, otherwise all you
are doing is taking it upon trust, that is why its important to name , not the translators,
as if that tells you anything about the textual integrity, but the actual documents
themselves.

couldn't one simply do that with the plethora of known and trusted translations? No Robbo, you are being intellectually dishonest
to use it from time to time to evaluate things for myself, whereas all you are
concerned with is taking it upon trust. I resent your term dishonest, you were
practically forced to produce the basis for your text, some of which i doubt you had
even heard of and here you are lecturing others as to the integrity of their text, its
mockworthy! especially considering your Greek text is a transcript and not a proper
translation.
I have no problem with alternative renderings, but i will not have you bad mouthing
the New world Translation, its hypocrisy for you to sate that we should have a
plethora of other translations and then try to exclude it, and on what basis, that the
translators wish to remain anonymous, and then to cite a transcript as if it were a
God send, you need to feel your bum mate to make sure your not dreaming.

Ask a JW how many saviours they have and insist on the numerical answer.

same time, you have not answered the question, merely repeating the assertion is not
an answer, again
how is it possible to be with someone and to be them at the same time.
One small piece of logic and your whole assertion is floundering, its mock worthy!

The projection of my personality on these boards is an alias you know as Agerg, but in real life there is also a Greg; my alias is with me and I am Agerg from your point of view when I'm on these boards tippy typing away but I am also Greg distinct from his computer monitor manifestation Agerg! Same argument could be applied to the trinity I suppose. ;]

some one and to be them at the same time, as logic clearly demonstrates.
Greg is a Scottish name, i hope you honour its great historicity!
