This is off the topic of Are the translators of the NWT infallible? Religious Education Forums
It is believed by some that God breathed means God is the author of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. What I think God breathed per 2 Timothy 3:16 means is God's Spirit inspired the writers to write it. God is not the writer. The people who wrote it are. When they wrote it they were under the power of The Holy Spirit. They were not actually The Holy Spirit. This is not debating whether there are errors or not. I don't care.
This is debating whether the argument for "The God is the Author so God's Name should be put where it belongs" is properly under the same Spirit as the writers were.
It is argued many times that the translators are not infallible vs they believe they are.
A believer in the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses will never argue that the governing body are infallible because it is in stark contrast to other scriptures they beleive are authored by God Almighty. (I can look those up if you ask).
It is believed they are infallible. How? How can they believe they are infallible and not infallable at the same time? I think how they do it is they believe it is Jehovah's business to be sure we believe The Word as it should be believed. So it is not the people who are infallible. It is The Spirit Of God which is. I believe that.
Now the point is there are no Greek transcripts that have God's Name written. The translation committee of Jehovah's Witnesses thought it best to replace the writer "Lord" with "Jehovah". The reason they give is it sgnified the author better and didn't Jesus himself say he came to "make God's Name known"? So they believe it is their job to make The Name known so they add The Name back where it belongs.
Did the original authors write the Tetragrammaton or did they write "LORD"? I believe so far there is no way of knowing. So it seems certain they have changed the words that were (they say) written under the influence of The Holy Spirit. I also believe the words are written under the influence of The Holy Spirit.
They have taken liberties with God's NAME. Did Jesus take liberties with it*?
