the Watchtower Society’s Bible, The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT), translates John 1:1: “In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.”

The Watchtower Society asserts that since the Greek language has no indefinite articles (a or an), the article can be used where needed in translating; thus they insert “a” before god to emphasize the Word’s (Christ’s) inferiority to God. This biased rendering cannot be justified grammatically and has been rejected by every reputable Greek scholar.

The Watchtower Society also errs in its interpretation of Colossians 1:15-20. They interpret the word “firstborn” in verse 15 to mean “first-created.” However, the firstborn (prototokos) principle in Hebrew culture refers to privilege and superiority, not to priority in time. Also, the Watchtower Society has presumptuously added to its translation of verses 16-20 by parenthetically inserting “other” in several places where no word appears in the Greek text. This unwarranted addition is made so the text will conform to the Watchtower Society’s theological position on Christ.

Because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist” (Col. 1:16-17, NWT).

MaxinDHouse,
Indeed it takes "deeper understanding" to come up with the explanation that you have come up with there!

Whao!

Jehovah in Isaiah 48 and Jesus Christ in Revelation 1 both said "I am.....". And you are telling the world that the "I am" is not talking about WHO THEY ARE but is about WHAT THEY KNOW. This "deeper understanding" that comes up with such interpretations of Scripture must be out of this world!

Many who are reading you now will be wondering how you acquired this 'out-of-this-world' wisdom and understanding. Maybe you have a special relationship with Wisdom of Proverbs.

It takes such a GREAT FAITH for you guys to wrestle with the Scripture when it challenges your core DOGMA.

I hope you aware that Jesus said the same thing in Revelation 22 but this time expanded on the same thing. There he said: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."
Revelation 22:13 NIV

So, according to you, "I am the Alpha" "I am the First" and "I am the Beginning" would mean what? Separate things? Or the same?
Do they all mean what you said of the previous two portions i.e.

In other words, do 'I am Alpha', 'I the First ', and 'I am the Beginning' here in Revelation 22 refer to KNOWLEDGE possessed by the person speaking here not to WHO is speaking here?

We need your "deeper understanding" here. Please help us out!

Another example is the Watchtower Society’s interpretation of Revelation 3:14 (NASB), “The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God.” The NWT renders the clause, “the beginning of the creation by God,” which the Watchtower Society says is proof that Jesus was the first created being. This interpretation errs at two points. First, the word rendered “beginning” is the Greek arche, which can also be translated as “source” (New English Bible); “ruler” (New International Version), or “origin” (Good News Bible), thus confirming the orthodox view of Christ’s divinity.

The Watchtower Society teaches that Jesus was crucified on a “torture stake” instead of a cross (Matt. 27:32, NWT). The Watchtower Society specifically dates Jesus’ death: “On Nisan 14 of the year 33 C.E. Jesus’ enemies put him to death on a torture stake” (Truth, p. 51).

Jesus clearly indicated the physical aspect of His resurrection when He appeared to His disciples. “And He said to them, ‘Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have'” (Luke 24:38-39, NASB).

If few Jews in the first century did not become subject to the TEACHINGS of the Apostles:

And with many other words he gave a thorough witness and kept exhorting them, saying: “Get saved from this crooked generation.” So those who gladly accepted his word were baptized, and on that day about 3,000 people were added. And they continued devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to associating together, to the taking of meals, and to prayers! Act 2:40-42

Now you are not obedient to the TEACHINGS of those taking the lead in your church ECWA so PRESENT the works of the BODY of Christ without any union or GROUP! smiley


I wonder how those faithful Jews could have produced the fine FRUIT befitting God's people.
Remember the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, other Jewish Rabbis and Zealots all have access to the scriptures but only those OBEDIENT to the TEACHINGS of the Apostles were yielding positive results! Hebrews 13:7, 17 wink

Sorry sir!
The Lord does not know ECWA. The Lord knows each of His children in ECWA, these His people make up the Church. ECWA is just a denomination and it doesn't replace Christ and His Lordship in people's lives.
It's not all who say to Me Lord Lord that shall enter the kingdom of Heaven. It's not a group thing sir.

That is why Jesus says in the parable of the wheat and tares.

Mat 13:29-30:
"But he said, No; lest while you gather up the tares, you root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."

Why not complete the verse as my Master, Lord and King say it?

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21

So what is the WILL of Jesus' father?

Well Isaiah and Micah told us:

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Jesus fervently prayed to his father that his followers should have the same line of thought {John 17:20-23} Jesus was begging his father to make this work because that's the only way imperfect humans can come together to make what is written in BOLDED RED possible!

Well God answered the heartfelt prayer of his dear son because Jehovah's Witnesses are fulfilling God's will right now! smiley

That is why Jesus says in the parable of the wheat and tares.

Mat 13:29-30:
"But he said, No; lest while you gather up the tares, you root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."

The sowing started in the first century when Jesus began his earthly ministry, then after Jesus' departure to heaven and the death of all his Apostles (as they were sleeping in death) Satan quickly established falsehood that you people now call Christianity, his agents began vilifying, molesting, persecuting and killing the faithful ones who wanted to remain in the teaching of Christ until true Christianity was totally silenced. That's why Jesus said "when I return to inspect my WORK, will i still meet this faith the way i laid it's foundation?" {Luke 18:8} of course by the time Jesus returned in 1914 true Christianity is no more!
That's why he began dealing with the one and only group that's prepared to make amendments in their teachings and he continue working with them until they started bearing the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers globally. They are known today as Jehovah's Witnesses!

Jesus has commaded his angels to gather us into one group while you people are also in your various groups. But the difference between we and you people is that while you worship together with your various groups, your line of thought are not in union with your fellow worshipers {Luke 11:23} while Jesus' own group are enjoying oneness of thought! John 17:20-23

I see that it is hard to simply admit and say "I don't know" or even "You may be right".

It appears that "deeper understanding" has its limitations. It can't explain Jesus being the Alpha and the Omega. Do we call janosky to the rescue? Maybe he can bring in his lexicon.

Jehovah witnesses hate Jesus to the bone

1. Jesus told His disciples to witness Him (Jesus) in Acts 1:8 but Jws say they will rather witness Jehovah

2. The Bible calls Jesus God (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:8-9, john 20:28, Colossians 1:16 etc) yet jws say Jesus is a god.

3. Jesus said all eyes will see him when he appears again, jws say Jesus appeared invisibly in 1914 grin Even they themselves didn't see him; this is madness

4. The Bible is clear that Jesus created all things (Colossians 1:16) but Jws say NO, it was their God Jehovah who first created Jesus and Jesus created all other things grin wow

5. The Bible commands us to do ALL things in the Name of JESUS, jws say no, they will do all things in Jehovah grin

6. Jws will not sing or listen to a song containing JESUS, they will rather sing a dirge. Same Jesus who is worshipped by even angels

7. Jws say Jesus is angel Michael when the Bible says Jesus is God and Saviour; by extension the saviour of jws is angel Michael

8. Jws have doctored the Bible to form their nwt to make Jesus an angel and a god

9. JWs make mockery of Jesus everyday ; mocking at His deity, same thing the High Priest and elders did to Jesus when He stood before them In trial

10. Jws lie that, Jesus' ressurection wasn't physical; for them, Jesus' body corrupted

Flee Jehovah WITNESSES

It's a Big Cult

Shine your eyes

Jehovah's Witnesses teach many things that are contrary to the scriptures. The most abominable of these errors is what they teach concerning Jesus According to the Witnesses, Jesus is "a god, but not the almighty God, who is Jehovah" (Let God Be True, p. 33). Instead, they say that Jesus is "a created individual" who "is the second greatest personage of the universe"

There are many religious groups teaching different things about Jesus so there's no reason to kill yourself over what JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES believe.
Just work on your own beliefs Jesus said "if it yields positive results everyone will see it" Matthew 5:13-16 smiley

GardenOfGod:

Jehovah's Witnesses teach many things that are contrary to the scriptures. The most abominable of these errors is what they teach concerning Jesus According to the Witnesses, Jesus is "a god, but not the almighty God, who is Jehovah" (Let God Be True, p. 33). Instead, they say that Jesus is "a created individual" who "is the second greatest personage of the universe"

I have been trying to avoid their "antichrist spirit" because their heart and soul have been corroded. They are like ocultic initiates, who took an oath to protect their doctrine.
So I often regard responding to them a waste of time and resources.

If I were to confront the "spirit" in them, I would use the power of truth to expose them. When you expos a lie with truth, the bearer becomes neked.

For example, I will drop one truth to question the sanctity and scholarly IQ of the New World Translators of their own perverted version of the Bible.

I just hope what you meant by sanctity and scholarly IQ should be put to test by fine WORKS that everyone can SEE {Matthew 5:14} and not some fruitless arguments of no benefits! 1Timothy 6:4; Titus 3:9 smiley

The New Testament teaches that Jesus is God in many passages. "In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men" (John 1:1-4).
Here, as in these other passages in the New Testament (John 1:14; I John 1:1; and Revelation 19:13), the designated Word, or Logos, refers especially to Jesus. That John is referring to Jesus becomes clear when we look at John 1:14, where he said, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." John said, "The Word was God."

The Witnesses say the word God in the original appears here without the definite article "the"
and should be translated "a god." They fail to point out that the New Testament is filled with references to "God" without the use of a definite article in the Greek (two hundred and eighty-two times).
Even the translators who render John 1:1 to read a god translate the exact same phrase as "God" in ninety-four percent of the other two hundred and eighty-one instances. To be consistent, these should say a god. This construction occurs twenty times in John's gospel alone. Should John 1:18, then, be translated, "No one has seen a god at anytime?"
Take notice of the INCONSISTENCY in their translation.

There are many others but I don't have time for them.
