Benefits of the NWT.
The New World Bible Translation Committee stated:
oWhile inclining to view the pronunciation "Yahweh'o as the more
correct way, we have retained the form aJehovahA because of peopleAs familiarity with it since the 14th century. Moreover, it preserves,
equally with other forms, the four letters of the Tetragrammaton JHVH"
It is a SKILLFUL rendering of the oldest manuscripts. Notice:
oThe translation is evidently the work of skilled and clever scholars,
who have sought to bring out as much of the true sense of the Greek
text as the English language is capable of expressing."
(Hebrew and Greek scholar Alexander Thomson, in The Differentiator,
Aprila1952, pagesa52-7.")
The NWT also restored the Tetragrammaton in the OT around 7000 times,
since they are found in the oldest manuscripts. Most modern Bibles
have cut it out completely, and replaced it with "Lord". The Bible
gives us no permission to do that. That is what men did.
On the contrary, the Bible says quite the opposite:
-- New King James
Revelation 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book
of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life,
from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this
book.
