Whatever Happened to
The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures?
Part 3
In Greta Olsoe’s article “Whatever Happened to
The Kingdom Interlinear
Translation of the Greek Scriptures? Part 1,” she opines that
The
Kingdom Interlinear Translation (KIT) may have gone out of circulation. In
February of 2010 a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses contacted
SoundWitness,
stating: “So as far as I know, the KIT is alive and well…” and can be “specially
ordered if requested.” Subsequently, someone who was attending Watchtower
studies at a Kingdom Hall emailed
SoundWitness and pointed out that "all you need
to do to get a free copy is look interested, go to Fellowship Hall for three
Sundays, and then ask." I recently headed down to the local Kingdom Hall,
asked for a KIT, and they gave me both a KIT and an
Emphatic Diaglot. So the KIT is not out of circulation, it's just not
obtainable in hard copy unless you frequent a Kingdom Hall. For information on
how you can obtain a hard or digital copy of the KIT, go to
this page.
Whether or not the KIT is available is somewhat immaterial. The important consideration
is whether or not the KIT, with the Watchtower’s
New World Translation
embedded in it, is an accurate translation of God’s Holy Word. Greta and many
other authors have proven that it is not accurate, and instead is deliberately
misleading. As Greta mentions in Part 2, “It is always our hope and prayer that
such people will, under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, think about what they
have seen and about the cost of following an organization that uses deception to
twist God’s Word.” For those who would like to delve further into the deception
contained in the
New World Translation, we recommend purchasing a used
copy of the KIT, or downloading a copy, which is invaluable in demonstrating the
mistranslations, additions, and subtractions that occur in the
New World
Translation.
