NWT Genesis 1

and God’s active force*+ was moving about over the surface of the waters.+

Ruach Elohim;

the Spirit of God Mr Gordon the Watchtower has no problem translating the exact same phrase in;
1 Samuel 16, 1 Kings 18, Judges 6 and other places

NWT 1 Samuel 16
¹⁴ Now the spirit of Jehovah had departed from Saul

NWT 1 Kings 18
¹² When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away

NWT Judges 6
³⁴ Then Jehovah’s spirit came upon



yet in Genesis we read active force Mr Gordon, not the Spirit of God.

have you not picked up on the glaring problem that the Watchtower has changed the noun to an impersonal form from the original in Genesis 1:2.

Why would anyone change the personal noun to an impersonal form?
