What did Jeopardy say was the most accurate bible translation?

Answer 1

I watched the episode, and was surprised by the answer, which I will never forget, because Jehovah's Witnesses have been made the laughing stock by comedians throughout my life. How people do laugh at the jokes that they tell concerning them. However, they are the most avoided religion by people of the world. I asked myself, why? The question was, and I quote: "What is the most accurate translation of the holy scriptures?" The answer was, and I quote: " What is the New World Translation Of The Holy Scriptures." If you watch Jeopardy. You know the sounds of things on Jeopardy when the answer is correct. Bells and Alex Trebek telling you, "you are correct." That's just the way it was. I have no reason to lie. I have nothing to lose or gain in telling you this. I have gained the knowledge of the truth in that question and answer. That episode has benefited my life very well since then. The accuracy of God's word has helped me to understand it better, and has cleared up the confusion that other translations brought to my mind. Now, I understand and feel in my life what Jesus said when he said, the truth will set you free. Therefore, I must thank God for helping me to wholeheartedly search for the truth of his word as he intended it when he inspired man to write it.

Answer 2

I can’t speak for anyone else. I watched the episode where the question was “The New World Translation“ and the club was (something like) “This is the most accurate Bible translation“. I remember it very well, in part because it surprised me. I tried searChing for a clip of it online later but couldn’t find one. That doesn’t make it a myth. I saw and heard it with my own eyes and ears.

Answer 3

I saw this episode, it aired in 2003. The new world translation is the most accurate version

Another Answer:

The above answer does not take into account that you can search the Jeopardy Questions using the Jeopardy Archive site. The questions containing either the words new or world had nothing to do with The Bible and neither did the word Translation. Whenever the word Bible came up it had nothing to do with the most accurate translation and concerned other subjects. The Jeopardy Archive is easy to search at the related link.

Answer 4

Answer:

Despite the efforts of JW apologists, the answer is a resounding "No." As a current Jehovah's Witness, I heard this myth going around and attempted to verify it.

Opinion:

I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and so I would naturally love for that to be the case. But I personally have not seen it. I have heard this rumor frequently, but I cannot confirm it. I would invite any who may have seen it personally to chime in, but otherwise, I would say that this is simply rumor and should not be regarded as fact.

I have also heard that the Smithsonian Institute has referred to the NWT as the "world's most accurate Bible translation." This too is a familiar unconfirmed rumor.

I have researched both of these similar rumors and have found no hard evidence to either support or deny.

I realize that the first answerer here stated "yes" to this question, so maybe he or she has personally seen the episode of Jeopardy in question, I don't know. But if a person has not seen this episode themselves, or can feel 100% sure of the source from which the information has origionated, then we cannot say yes or no for sure.

Answer 5

Well, isn't that a happy little question! Jeopardy said that the most accurate bible translation is the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV). It's always important to find a translation that speaks to you and helps you feel connected to the words of the Bible. Just like painting, it's all about finding what brings you joy and peace.

Answer 6

Jeopardy has not officially declared any specific Bible translation as the most accurate. The accuracy of a Bible translation can vary depending on factors such as the source texts used, translation methods employed, and the intended audience. Some commonly recognized accurate translations include the New American Standard Bible (NASB), English Standard Version (ESV), and New International Version (NIV), among others. It is essential to consider scholarly reviews, textual analysis, and personal preferences when selecting a Bible translation.

Answer 7

This was never a Jeopardy question and is merely a myth. If there was a question it would not consider a translation into English in the 20th or 21st century as the most accurate unless the question asked what is the most accurate English translation. The answer would always be an opinion and not a fact that could be used on Jeopardy.

New. World. Translation
