I have another question for YOU to ignore

So, Are YOU stealing? Romans 2:21
Or perhaps you are one of those who teach that God has protected all scripture from any changes?

I know that by your teaching scripture YOUR way you steal the real meaning from anyone who might listen to you.

No ma'am, I do not steal!

You need to understand that, when Jesus said to "make" disciples of all nations, He "DIDN'T" mean that we are to go around and "FORCIBLY" make people believe and become a disciple.
I understand that. Remember, oh I forgot you do not pay any attention, so I will tell you, I was a Jehovah's Witness for approximately twenty years. I know what to make a disciple means, but thank you.

So haha, when I took those dying Chinese Lanterns it wasn't from nobody I stole them, it was from Jehovah I stole them. Maybe you want to rethink that.

So, while I was walking along the sidewalk, over the sidewalk hung some balls and I took three of them.
They were hanging over public property. Did I steal those too?

No, you didn't steal them from "Jehovah", but He said "DON"T STEAL" and you did. You broke His law, and therefore sinned against Him.

With that logic, if I see a car parked on the street (public property) with the keys in it, I can take it and I wouldn't be stealing?

So you are a Pharisee? I suppose I am wasting your time. I am sorry about that.

You might not go to their meetings anymore, but you're still a witness at heart.

Might I have found another Jehovah's Witness mistake?

THEY say the New World Translation Bible is nearest to what the oldest manuscripts say.*
Sometimes I look up scriptures so that I might make a worthwhile point (haha).
So I look up Isaiah 40:22 because I can see that circle might not mean the physical shape of the Earth, but might mean that humankind goes around and around and around......never looking up. They repeat the same mistakes over, and over and over again until voila! A circle!

So anyway, I decide to look it up in the NWT Bible (I don't know why - Satan, maybe?).
Of course, I also look it up at The Bible Hub (really, a great place and FREE Matthew 10:8)

Words are great! No fighting please.

Maybe the scholars are wrong (I do not care - they are dead).

Scholars have said (I have no reason not to believe what they found) that the word which was translated "circle" is Strong's 2329. Let's maybe look it up.

We have circle. We have vault and OMG we have compass.

BUT those rascals over at the Society for the Saving of the People of Earth have added something that looks like propaganda.

22 There is One who dwells above the circle* of the earth,+And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers.

See the star? Where did they find sphere?



*We know that lying is not cool. I have to ask. Why is it fine, according to Jehovah, that the Jehovah's Witness society lies?

What do they lie about (lying is not good)?

They say their version of the Bible is the best version and was created using the oldest known
manuscripts.

They want to prove to people that to obey the Bible is good and fine and is God's will for the Earth.

They say they are the only ones who are sanctioned by God Almighty The Creator to teach anyone what the Bible really teaches.

They want people to be surprised at the instance of someone writing that the Earth is indeed a sphere.
The reason why is that it can't be proved it is a sphere until flight happened. THAT means God spoke to the writer telling him it is round, like a circle. To set that picture fast in people's minds they have added the word sphere. I should eat these words if in case the oldest manuscript really does suggest a sphere.

Just so you know, a sphere means a solid round figure. I think everyone knows a circle is two dimensional and is lots of times, hollow.

So that I do not have to work right now I shall chat some more about that.

Might the writer of Isaiah have said that one dwells above humankind's endless nonsense that from about looks like a circle?

Oh no! Here we go again. Those damn grasshoppers.

Job 26:10 (ESV Strong's) 10 He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

The circle means 'compass', have you ever seen a square compass? It just means the earth is round, not a literal circle.

Actually, Columbus proved the earth was round from a ship in the water!
Ya but, he only got half way around. I think that is called a dome.

When you became dedicated to telling the truth about everything did it cost you your sense of humor?

Hahaha A compass tells the ways that are already known. We know (and this is for certain, certain) that humankind does not know the way of Jehovah, or G-d, if you will.

So far the big group which lives on this sphere has not gone the way of The Christ.

What else does חוּג mean he who hangs on tight to TRADITION (tradition - the reason they killed The Christ)?

Vault. NOT SPHERE. Define vault. Pretty please.

He who lives above the vault of the Earth.

Also, where is sphere defined for your tradition? Oh ya, in The New World Translation.

Compass means they only go the way THEY think they know.
Vault means they haven't yet reached beyond it.
Circle means all that is of Earth happens over and over, like a _____.

Isaiah 40:22

He who remains over the peek of the Earth. Tra La! Psalms 115:16

It means G-d is better than the best of anything on the Earth. I think you would agree with that if you weren't such a ****.

Is God worried/ No. Who do YOU know who worries much about grasshoppers?

Oh right. The Egyptians.

Not always does it say circle.

He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
King James Bible
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
New Heart English Bible
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.
JPS Tanakh 1917
He has compassed the waters with bounds until the end of light and darkness.
Jubilee Bible 2000
