I asked DeepSeek what's the worst English translation of the Bible, and why? Here is the response: The Problem of Theological Bias Many scholars argue that some translations are not objective renderings of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts but are instead designed to support the particular doctrines of their translators. The New World Translation (NWT), produced by the Jehovah's Witnesses, is a primary example. Critics point to the fact that its translators are anonymous and that it has been accused of altering key passages to align with Jehovah's Witnesses' theology—for instance, by adding words that aren't in the original text to change the meaning. This lack of transparency and the consistent pattern of changes to support a specific doctrine lead many to view it as a poor translation. -- Good News † Christ bore our sins on the cross to clear our debt before God (Colossians 2:14), and His resurrection stands as proof of that finished work (Romans 1:4). Now, God justly forgives those who believe (Romans 3:26), granting escape from His impending judgment (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This mercy is a free gift accessible only through faith (Romans 6:23). If you believe this truth, call upon the Lord to save you today (Romans 10:9-13): How to be saved: christrose.news/salvation
