Why Study the Bible?, page-185

(Genesis 1:2) Now the earth was formless and desolate, and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep, and God’s active force was moving about over the surface of the waters.

Mr Gordon there seems to be almost right off the bat a great discrepancy in what you have quoted.

I have decided to go back to Charles T Russell's and Judge Rutherford and Knorr's bible and I found this passage that does not match what you have disseminated.

King James Bible
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.


Mr Gordon we have the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters but you quote active force

The word for a force is edra and it is quoted correctly even in the new world translation found in Ezra

Ezra 4 NWT
23 Now after the copy of the official document of King Ar·ta·xerxʹes had been read before Reʹhum and Shimʹshai the scribe and their colleagues, they quickly went to Jerusalem to the Jews and used force to stop them.

what scripture or manuscript has the word force in Genesis 1:2 Mr Gordon are we seeing deception in the New World Translation

before even Satan enters Eden,

The Watchtower getting the jump on the great deceiver.
