I don't know WHY you think it is so important to see the footnotes.

Generally, yes, but not always. And not in this case. For in this case, the
perversion of the text, the bias of the translation is SO blatant, the burden is
on the NWT and its defenders. Their 'translation' really _does_ depart that
radically from all the norms of translation.

Again: generally, this is true, but not always. And certainly not here.

>The Greek of the LXX used in the first century did indeed contain the YHWH.

This is dishonest, Sarah. Gary was not _talking_ about the LXX. He was talking
about the NEW TESTAMENT. And the New Testament, even in LXX quotes, NEVER used
the divine name in tetragrammaton (YWHW) form. NEVER. It is extremely dishonest
for the NWT to pretend that it did in their 'translation'.

Yes, it really is quite unreasonable.

This is not true.

More dishonesty! It did NOT appear that way, not in the texts the NT authors
quoted. They NEVER used YHWH, they ALWAYS used KYRIOS.

Another dishonest leading question.

Because it isn't. The t
