A bible can be an stumbling block

[Jacqueline]

In the bible that I'm studing John say's "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." In another bible that I read when I'm at my mother's home John say's "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was a God."

Now am I looking to much into this or is these two scripture saying two completely different things? The first is saying to me that the Word is God while the second is saying that the Word is another God as if there are two God's. That's not right. There is just one God. One God with many different names, but One. Am I just putting a stumbling block in front of my self or is this making sense to any one?

God Bless You

Your mother probably has a "Watchtower Society" bible put out by the Jehovah's Witnesses. They believe that Jesus was never diety amoung other thing and have translated their bible to conform with their teaching. Historic Christianity has always believed that Jesus was and is fully God and fully man.. One in unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. JW leave bibles to those they visit and people who don't know the bible beforehand very often get let to believe their version is correct.

I'm studing King Jame and the bible in my mothers home is the New World Translation of the Holy Scripture. I don't know who had a hand in translation it, but I'm sticking to King James.

New World Translation?

[Guest dove2]

That is all it takes is an "a" here and there to take a scripture out of context. Very subtil huh?

The New World Translation is produced by the Watchtower Society and is the Bible of the cult of Jehovahs Witnesses which has tampered with the word of G-d in an effort to promote their own heresies...even trying to agrue from a scholarly perspective...The vast majority of scholars...even non-Believers would laugh them to scorn at their pitiful attempts to subvert the clear meaning of the greek and hebrew texts.

Tell your mom to throw that away and get her a new Bible. It's a perversion of the truth!!

My mom has a number of bibles in her home. Most was given to her as this one was. I'm sad to say that she doesn't pick up any one of them and read them. When I explained to her about this bible her response was a bible is a bible. I told her that it's scritures were wrong and is not of God and that I was going to throw it in the trash she told me not to. What is the point of doing that. It's a bible. How can I make her understand how important this is? You know I look at my family and I want to cry and scream all at the same time. I have this need for them to see the truth. To see Jesus as I do, but I've learned that I can tell them about Him, but I can't save them.

God Bless You
