Have Jehovah's Witnesses Changed the Bible to Fit Their Beliefs? -Conclusion

 2. What we believe:  There is no eternal torment in a fiery hell.  Quoting from Romans 6:23 in the King James Version, Zion's Watch Tower entitled its issue of June 1982 "The Wges of Sin Is Death," stating: "How clear and simple is this statement.  How strange it is that so many who profess to receive the Bible as the Word of God persist in contradicting this positive statement, and affirm they believe, and the Bible teaches, that the wages of sin is everlasting life in torment. 


What the Bible says: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."  (Ezekiel 18:4, 20, King James Version) The final punishment for those who oppose God is, not eternal torment, but "everlasting destruction." - 2 THESSALONIANS 1:9, King James Version.


3. What we believe:  God's Kingdom is a real government, not just  a condition of the heart.  Regarding God's Kingdom, the December  1981 issue of Zion's Watch Tower said:  "The setting up of this kingdom will, of course, involvee the overthrow of all the kingdms of earth." 


What the Bible says: "In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in peaces and consume all these kingsoms, and it shall stand forever." - DANIEL 2:44, King James Version. 


Do Jehovah's Witnesses depend on the New World Translation to support their beliefs?


No, for we continue to use many translations of the Bible in our witnessing work. In fact, while we provide a copy of the New World Translation at no charge as part of our free Bible study program, we are also happy to study with those who perfer to use other translations. 


Note: I will say this again.  We all should only go by the what teh Bible says and not what the preachers etc,  do in other religions and that is read certain scriptures that please them in order to mislead their congregations, because they are not teaching the Bible truth.  These are people that are wolves in sheep's clothing/false prophets.
