Astropho, the links you need are in "Forum Indexes and info", then "Esword and more".

Thanks to Kat and Craig.

Ray lists a bunch in his article "Which Bible Translation Is Best":


http://bible-truths.com/bible.htm

However, not all English Versions perverted and corrupted the words having reference to time into words that now stand for eternity, but have nothing to do with time at all. Here are a few. I use the first three quite regularly, but, I am not recommending you buy any of them.

    Rotherham Emphasized Bible, 1959

    Concordant Literal New Testament, 1983  http://concordant.org/catalog/orderblank/index.html

    The Emphatic Diaglott, 1912 edition (Greek/English Interlinear)

    The Holy Bible in Modern English (Fenton), 1903)

    The New Covenant, 1884

    The New Testament in Modern Speech, 1910

    The Restoration of Original Sacred Name Bible, 1976

    The New Testament of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Anointed, 1958

    The New Testament a Translation, 1938

    The Companion Bible, 1990 A King James Reference Bible

I keep thinking it's the Emphatic Diaglott that the Jw's use but I may be wrong?  Anyone know?

Thanks!

You are correct on it being Emphatic Diaglott. Only some of JWs use it, elders i think.

Hi Jacob,

              The JW's used to publish the Emphatic Diaglott by Benjamin Wilson, long before they officially became JW's in 1931, back then they were International Bible Students. Their main interest in that Translation centered around translating the Greek word Parasouia as "Presence" instead of "Coming"(Matt.24:3). They don't use that translation anymore. Their NWT translates Hell as Hades and Sheol properly, also they translate Hell-fire as Gehenna in it's twelve appropriate places in the New Testament. In the Old Testament, in most places, they translate Ohlam as "Time Indefinite," but in the New Testament they translate Aionios as Everlasting or Forever. However in their footnote at Matthew. 25:46, they correctly indicate that the Greek Word Kolasin or Kolasis literally means "to prune."  

             Also, they used to Publish the American Standard Version of 1901 which became the Revised standard Version and eventually the New Revised Standard Version.

                                         Kind Regards, Samson.

Lots of Laughs, Jacob.

                              You might have made his day(the JW). He probably considers you a good return visit,  ;D He's hoping and praying that you'll study the Bible with him through one of their publications,  ;D. What a surprise he will discovery when finds out you know alot more than he does. Perhaps you can help him learn about the eventual Salvation of All and that God isn't going to Annihilate those who don't accept JW Interpretation of Scripture. You'll have to be "cautious as serpent and as innocent as a dove" with the JW,  ;).

                                     KInd Regards, Samson.
