9. Life after death:

Why would Jesus use from Pagan false doctrine in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus?
Luke 16:19-31
"Now it came about that the poor man died and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. "And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom. "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me."

10. Jehovah’s Witnesses blatently changed the bible, this is so blatent, any layperson (someone without formal training) can even notice the changes.

Rom 10:9
THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH JESUS AS LORD, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED
ean "if" egeirô "confess" theos  "God" Iêsous "Jesus"  kardia "heart"
kurios "Lord"
ekros "dead" homologeô "confess" pisteuô "believe" stoma "mouth" sôzô "saved"

Rom 10:13
FOR WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.

Epikaleô “call”  kurios “Lord” onoma  ”name” pas ”all” sôzô ”saved”


In the new world translation it uses the name Jehovah instead of Lord in Rom 10:13.
There was no greek equivilent to YHWH  referred to as LORD or Jehovah’s in the NT as they has made the change in the old testement (which is not the argument).
The argument is that, Paul (or the greek translator), fully aware of the potential inconsistancy between the greek kurios And the Aramaic YHWH did not choose to create a Greek equivalent. So what gives Jehovah’s Witnesses the right to change the apostle Paul choice in wording 2k years ago?
Or why didn’t they use the word theos instead?
This was an obivious reference to
Joel 2:32
And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

WHY, BECAUSE PAUL WAS LINKING THE PROPHESY IN Joel 2:32 TO  JESUS. CALLING HIM LORD AS STATED  IN Rom 10:9. (5 VERSUS PREVIOUS )
THAT WOULD BECOME AN UNACCEPTABLE VERSE IN THE BIBLE NOT SUPPORTED BY JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES DOCTRINE, SO IT WAS CHANGED.
READ THE PASSAGE AND NOTICE THE PECULAR CHANGE IN THE SUBJECT (CONTEXT) WHEN YOU HIT Rom 10:13 IN THE NEW WORLD TRANSLATION.
