TWI Sues the Jews

[Belle]

The Way International Seeks to Ban Bible by Suing Jewish Group

Fort Worth, Texas - The Way International, an ostensibly Christian group often branded a “cult” (1) and with a history of alleged anti-Semitism(2), has filed a federal lawsuit against The Society for the Advancement of Nazarene Judaism (also known as the Worldwide Nazarene Assembly of Elohim http://www.wnae.org), an organization of Jewish believers in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah of Judaism.

The Society for the Advancement of Nazarene Judaism maintains that all translations of the Bible read very much alike and that the Hebraic Roots Version does not infringe on anyone else’s copyright.

I hope they have enough money and chutzpah to put TWI in it's place.

TWI is accusing someone of plagiarism????

What a hoot!!

". . . an ostensibly Christian group. . . " That says it all.

This action is the latest in a series of similar legal actions by the Way International which raise questions concerning the free exercise of religion. In 2007 The Way International sent a letter to The Way, a Baptist church located in Grant County, Kentucky, threatening to sue them over use of the name "The Way"(3)

That same year, they filed a lawsuit against "The Way Ministries" claiming trademark infringement (4).

The term "The Way" is actually a term found in the Bible for the early followers of Yeshua (Jesus) (Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23 & 24:14).

In this latest move, The Way International seeks not only to control use of the biblical term "The Way," but also seeks to ban the accepted Scriptures of a Messianic Jewish Group.

What is wrong with these people? Their arrogance knows no bounds. They want to ban a bible?

Maybe they're acting on "revelation".

The irony is stunning; but it may, nevertheless, be a valid claim. Without actually seeing the SANJ version, I couldn't say.

I wonder how TWI keeps on top of these things. Must be using that EVIL Internet.

[frank123lol]

After all,'The Way" claims,they are the one true reigion.

[WordWolf]

Looks like twi was plagiarized. That they broke the law doesn't mean others are justified in doing so.

If someone else is engaging in a fraud, that's wrong, too.

This version is published by a group called, the Institute for Scripture Research. They state they are from South Africa and were founded in 1992.

People who have been identified as directors are:

Lew White

Dr. C. J. Koster

Don't know if either name is familiar to anybody.

[George Aar]

I see that in THEIR Bible translation that "God" and Jesus' name are printed in Hebrew characters. Wow! That's so..... uh, much better (?)

I'm so conflicted on this one. Do I root for TWI to lose or for the new batch of mindless, anal retentive dipchits?

It's so complicated!

[waysider]

I don't really care who wins or loses as long as TWI loses a boat-load of money in legal fees in the process.

[Bolshevik]

Shouldn't the Jews be suing twi?

I mean, The Old Testament, did the Jews give twi permission to use it?

TWI uses The Old Testament???

[Ham]

Only when it suits them. Other than that, its legalism..

[washn'wear]

[Watered Garden]

I think they need to get a life! Good grief! Like there's a huge market for either version! I mean, I heard about it but never saw it in print in the bookstore for sale or anything.

Believe it or not, the interlinear is used. Take a look at this site: (the old bbs software used to edit the URL for the Pe*hitta version, so I "tinyurl'd" it)

I wonder if they plan to sue Derek Trucks for "stealing" Psalm 98:4.

JOYFUL NOISE

[Bolshevik]

If twi were to sue the Jews . . . they would first have to acknowledge that . . . the Jews exist . . .

Oy Vei!

Interesting site, Mark.

Also interesting to note that in the Preface, he doesn't mention TWI. Only in the Lexicon.

Is Paul Y0unan some exWayfer? Note, he makes it freely available.
