READ ABOUT THEIR DOCTRINES
AND THE SCRIPTURAL ANSWERS TO
THEM
PART 1 - THE DEITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
"Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. ... Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth - those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation."Jesus the "Son of Man" (Matthew 24:37) who died that we might have life, and Michael who stands up for the people are one and the same. Michael is there at the resurrection. Jesus is there at the resurrection, therefore The Watchtower decides Michael is Jesus.
Having established that Michael is Jesus, they then try to prove that Jesus was created, is not God, and is inferior to God.
The Watchtower tries to show that Jesus had no initiative, but could only do what the Father showed Him.
"Then Jesus answered and said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel'." John 5:19,20.
They point out that the Son can do nothing of Himself. "Surely
that doesn't describe the actions of God, does it? Jesus must be inferior
to God, and Jesus calls God His Father, and His God.
"I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God." (John 20:17.)Now Jehovah's Witnesses will try to prove that Jesus was created. They will probably use Proverbs chapter 8......
"Certainly Jesus cannot be God, and call another His Father and God."
"The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. ... When there were no depths I was brought forth. ... Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him, rejoicing in His inhabited world, and my delight was with the sons of men." (Proverbs 8:22-31.)[Here the Watchtower Bible is different. Verse 22 says: "Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago."] Another link with Jesus being the Son of Man, and shows Jesus was created, that there was a time when He didn't exist. This is backed up in Revelation, they tell us:-
"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God'." (Revelation 3:14.)Jesus, the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, was the beginning of God's creation, so God must have created Jesus first, then used Jesus to create everything else, they say.
Little by little The Watchtower is building up a doctrine. They believe that they can prove that Jesus was created; had the heavenly name of Michael, proving that Jesus is an exalted angel; and that Jesus is not God because of His inferiority. So they go on to John 14:28.
"I am going to the Father, for My Father is greater than I.""There, a direct admission by Jesus that His father is greater than He is. Can you see how the Bible builds a true picture of just who Jesus is?"
Finally, when the time of the end has come and passed, what is Christ's position in relation to the Father, Almighty God Jehovah?
"Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For 'He has put all things under His feet.' But when He says 'all things are put under Him,' it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all." (1 Corinthians 15:24-28.)The Watchtower Society now believes it has proved that Jesus is a created being and is not God. There could be comments made like: "Just think logically for a moment. When Jesus was on earth He prayed to God the Father. But if He was God, why pray to another God? And what about when Jesus was put to death? He needed someone alive to resurrect Him. God is One, not two or three, as the Trinity teaches."
The Watchtower Society has produced a booklet entitled: 'Should You Believe in the Trinity?' This booklet very cleverly creates doubts in the minds of Christians because it apparently proves that the 'Trinity' doctrine is not Christian, and was not taught by the early Christian Fathers. However 'Why You Should Believe in the Trinity'by Robert M. Bowman, Jr. (A book & two tape set is also available.) and 'A Christian reply' by Ella McCrea (all available from Reachout Trust, 0181-332-7785), counter the Watchtower booklet easily. It seems that The Watchtower Society has gone to great lengths to disprove the 'Trinity,' yet uses misquotations to do so. The Watchtower booklet 'Should You Believe in the Trinity' can be discounted. However, Jehovah's Witnesses will give this booklet out, and it is very persuasive. Christians need to be aware that it is not the all-inclusive proof booklet that Jehovah's Witnesses think it is.
Let's get back to the texts that The Watchtower Society use to disprove the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. First let us establish that The Watchtower Society has produced its own version of the Bible. Sadly it deliberately belittles Christ Jesus. For example, instead of John 1:1 saying,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,"The Watchtower Bible is made to say " .... and the Word was a god." This sort of thing is quite deliberate mistranslation and proves that the Watchtower Society doesn't teach Biblical truth. So when discussing things with Jehovah's Witnesses Christians need to be very careful not to accept all that their Bible version says.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 (using The Watchtower Bible, NWT.)
".. because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice, and with God's trumpet....."If "with an archangel's voice," means Jesus was an archangel, then by the same principle, "with God's trumpet....." must also make Jesus a trumpet. This plainly is not so. In fact Scripture explains in great detail how Jesus happens to be there "with an archangel's voice, and with God's trumpet....."
Matthew 24:30,31; 25:31. (NWT)
"... and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound..."Clearly, the reason that the voice of an archangel, and the trumpet were mentioned in connection with the Lord's return, is simply because Jesus returns with angels who will be playing a great heavenly trumpet. Those things don't describe Jesus, but tell us what is going on around Him, at that time.
"When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him..."
Jude 9. (NWT)
"But when Michael the archangel had a difference with the Devil and was disputing about Moses' body, he did not dare bring a judgment against him in abusive terms, but said: 'May Jehovah rebuke you'."There are two points here. We do not dispute that there is an archangel called Michael. But Jehovah's Witnesses believe that there is only one archangel. Scripture says otherwise.
Daniel 10:13. (NWT)
"... and look! Michael, one of the foremost princes, came to help me..."Jesus is unique. There is none other like Him. But Michael was not unique. He was simply "one of the foremost princes," there must have been others of equal authority with him.
The second point has to do with Michael fearing to rebuke the Devil. That is because Michael in heavenly terms was inferior to the Devil. However, Jesus did not fear to rebuke the Devil.
Matthew 4:10; 16:23. (NWT)
"Then Jesus said to him: 'Go away, Satan!'"Jesus didn't fear Satan the devil at all. Certainly Michael the archangel and Jesus Christ are not one and the same.
"But turning his back, he said to Peter, 'Get behind me Satan'."
Revelation 12:7-12. (NWT)
"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon... So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan... 'Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ...'."Yes Michael was used to cast Satan and his demons out of heaven. However, if Jesus had done this, then He would have been disobedient to His Father, a thing we couldn't even contemplate. Do you recall the instructions given to Jesus?
Psalms 110:1. (NWT)
"The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: 'Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet'."The Father used Michael to oust Satan and his demons from heaven. They were thrown down to the earth, and as such, with Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Father, they had become a stool for Christ's feet. Jesus wouldn't have done the ousting of Satan, otherwise he would have been disobedient to His instructions.
Daniel 12:1,2
with John 5:25,28,29.
These texts present no difficulty at all, for though Michael
and Jesus are both present at the resurrection, Michael looking out for
his people, the Jews, it was only the Lord Jesus Christ with the authority
to call the dead forth.
Now let us deal with those so-called 'difficult' texts, which in fact are no difficulty at all.
"Then Jesus answered and said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel'." John 5:19,20.At first it would seem that The Watchtower Society has a point. But think this through. If someone can do things exactly as God does them, that makes Him God Himself.
Everyone else would do it differently from a perfect God. Only God Himself can do things like God. And as for doing nothing of Himself, the Jehovah's Witnesses mean "having no initiative."
1st. Jesus is revealing the 'Oneness' of the Godhead.
"And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one." John 17:22.2nd. As for having no initiative, John 10:17,18 replies:
"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."Jehovah's Witnesses will make a great issue out of John 14:28, because they have been taught that when Jesus said: "My Father is greater than I," He was admitting that He was less, or inferior to God the Father. However, this is a misunderstanding.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I am going to My Father."The same term, "greater" is used here, yet no one would consider that Christ's disciples could do works better, or superior to the works of the Son of God, would they? But the reason they would be "greater" was because Jesus was returning to heaven. Jesus would not be on earth to do the works, so His disciples, would have to continue His works on earth in His place. The term "greater" is a 'positional' word, used to describe quantity, not quality. When on earth, Jesus voluntarily restricted Himself within a human body, therefore there was only so much He could physically do. Whereas God the Father is a Spirit, and 'omnipresent,' therefore able to do anything, anywhere. So 'positionally,' the Father was "greater" than Jesus. In other words, Jesus, by choice, restricted His works within a human nature.
"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal to God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men."There are a few points that need to be understood here. The Watchtower Society does teach that Jesus was a man, so they would agree that "in the likeness of men," and "taking the form of a bondservant" mean the same thing. If "taking the form of a bondservant" means Jesus was a man, then the same term applied to His heavenly form means that Jesus is God. "Being in the form of God," means Jesus was God.
"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."Paul is not talking of equality at all. He is talking of a servant's attitude. Thus the term Paul applies to Jesus, "did not consider it robbery to be equal to God," is not saying that Jesus is less than God. The Watchtower's deliberate mistranslation here is to introduce the thought that Jesus was not equal to God. But Paul explains that Jesus was equal to God. He says in verses 9-11:
"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."The Watchtower Bible says, "gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God." (Philippians 2:6.)
"... which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come."The Watchtower teaches that Jesus never was God, either before His incarnation, or after His return to heaven. For this reason they have deliberately altered their Bible. In John 8:58, the Jews try to stone Jesus because He gave Himself the name of God. "Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM'." See the W/T Bible below.
Kingdom Interlinear 1969 edition.
What you are seeing is an example of The Watchtower's deliberate,
mistranslation. The Greek which they claim they support, is not translated
over into their translation on the right hand side of the page. They do
this elsewhere, particularly in reference to Christ's Deity. Yet Scripture
tells us:
"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."
Colossians 2:9.
Be careful of their translation here, for instead of the term
Godhead, they mistranslate the Greek word 'Theotetos,' [which their 1969
Interlinear said (under the Greek) means 'Godship,' but in their 1985 edition
changed to divinity] to meaning 'divine quality', which
it doesn't.
Colossians 2:9
Kingdom Interlinear 1985 p.883.
However, you can use their translation to prove Christ's Deity by turning them to Hebrews 1:3.
"He (Christ Jesus) is the reflection of His (God's) glory and the exact representation of His (God's) very being."If Jesus is the "exact representation" of God's "very being," that makes Jesus to be God.
Let us now deal with Revelation 3:14, The Watchtower's chief "Jesus was created" text. The new World Watchtower Translation reads:
"These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God."Reading their translation would appear to suggest that God did create Jesus in the beginning. However, we have to line this up with the many texts that show Christ's eternal existence.
"In being fatherless, motherless, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor an end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually." Hebrews 7:3 (NWT).Comparing Melchizedek with Jesus, even The Watchtower Bible shows Jesus didn't have a beginning. So how is Revelation 3:14 explained?
h arch thV ktisewV

the beginning of the creation of the God
2nd, notice the two Greek words 'arch' and
'tou' and their meaning.
arch
= arche, from which we get the word 'architect,' carries the meaning 'beginner,'
'originator,' 'ruler,' 'prime source.'
tou
= 'of the' and not 'by' as the NWT translates it. The difference is described:
of = belonging to, or owned by, possessive;
by = active of doing, eg. made by, productive.
"These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God." Revelation 3:14 NKJV.So then, we find that the NWT Watchtower Bible attempts to have God creating the faithful and true witness, whereas the Greek tells us that the faithful and true witness did the creating of God's creation. Not only creating, but also the designing, as the architect.
The Amplified Bible translates Revelation
3:14: "the Origin and Beginner and Author of God's
creation."
The New English Bible translates it: "the prime source of all
God's creation."
The Watchtower Bible makes this
verse imply the exact opposite of what it actually is saying.
1 Cor. 15:25-28.
The Book, 'Refuting Jehovah's Witnesses,' by Randall
Watters, page 104,105 has this to say:
"1 Corinthians 15:20-28 speaks about a time in the distant future, after the resurrection and the mediating work of Christ is fully accomplished, when Christ 'delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.' Apparently certain aspects of Christ's work will have been fully accomplished, and while his kingship will not end (since it is spoken of as eternal elsewhere), part of its goal will be complete. Verse 27 shows that all things have been subjected to Christ by the Father, but the Father has obviously not put himself under subjection to the Son. This would be reversing the order so common in other texts. As F.W. Grosheide says of this passage in The New International Commentary of the New Testament,A long quotation, but inserted to show that Christian scholars have addressed this text, and found no difficulties. The Watchtower Society believes it is the only 'organization' blessed by God with the true understanding of Scripture.'We might put it this way, that the Mediator will lay down His office at the feet of the Father, when He has finished His work as such. This interpretation does not conflict with the teaching concerning Christ's eternal kingship (2 Pet. 1:11). In our context Paul writes about that particular dominion of Christ that will terminate, since it serves to protect His people on earth and to conquer the ungodly. This dominion will end at the absolute end of history.
The goal of Christ's subjection is that God may be all in all. There will be no opposition any more. God's glory will then be fully accomplished when all resistance has been frustrated by the mediatorship of Christ. Then God will be the One before whom ALL will kneel. God will be in all, i.e., with all, in the sense that He will rule them and possess them'. (p.369, 370)"
I prefer to simply point to Ephesians 5:22. "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord." No one would suggest that by their submission (the same Greek basis as subjection) they are in some way inferior. Nor does 1 Corinthians 15:27 suggest that Christ is inferior to God the Father. But it does show Godly order.
Having dealt with specific Watchtower proof texts, and shown that they can all be successfully answered, let us look into Scripture and reveal the real Jesus. Because we are dealing with a subject related to the heresy of The Watchtower Society, I shall use The New World Translation where possible, save for the corruption of this Bible. This is so that if we need to counter the Arian heresy they promulgate, we can actually use their Bible in so doing.
"This is what Jehovah of armies has said, 'I will be jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great rage I shall be jealous for her.' This is what Jehovah has said, 'I will return to Zion and reside in the midst of Jerusalem'." Zechariah 8:2,3.If we were to ask if Jehovah actually did come and reside in the midst of the Israelites, in Jerusalem, Jehovah's Witnesses would say, "Of course He didn't!" Yet that is what Scripture tells us, and supports it over and over again.
"At that, Jehovah said to me, 'Throw it to the treasury - the majestic value with which I have been valued from their standpoint.' Accordingly I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it into the treasury at the house of Jehovah." Zechariah 11:13 NWT.No one doubts that Jesus was betrayed for thirty pieces of silver. Yet here we see that it is Jehovah who resided in the midst of Zion, and was valued at thirty pieces of silver.
"Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing he had been condemned, felt remorse and turned the thirty silver pieces back to the chief priests and older men. ... So he threw the silver pieces into the temple and withdrew, and went off and hanged himself." Matthew 27:3-5 NWT.
"'The word of Jehovah concerning Israel,' is the utterance of Jehovah, the One who is stretching out [the] heavens and laying the foundation of [the] earth and forming the spirit of man inside him. ..... and they will certainly look to the One whom they pierced through..."Zechariah 12:1,10 NWT.Now we have found that Jehovah the One is the same One whom they pierced through.
"I, Jehovah, am doing everything, stretching out the heavens by myself, laying out the earth. Who was with me?" Isaiah 44:24 NWT.Yet Genesis 1:26 tells us, "Let us make man in our image", so God wasn't alone! Elsewhere Scripture tells us Jesus did the creating. Here we have Almighty God talking to Jesus:
"I myself have made the earth and have created even man upon it. I - my own hands have stretched out the heavens, and all the army of them I have commanded." Isaiah 45:12 NWT.
"You at [the] beginning, O Lord, laid the foundations of the earth itself, and the heavens are [the] works of your hands." Hebrews 1:10 NWT.(Be careful of the NWT here as they have inserted the word 'other' in an attempt to create the illusion that Jesus created everything, except Himself. God, they say, created Jesus.)
"All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence." John 1:3 NWT.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on the earth.... All things were created through Him and for Him."Colossians 1:15,16 NKJV.
"Look! I am sending my messenger, and he must clear up a way before me. And suddenly there will come to His temple the [true] Lord, whom YOU people are seeking, and the messenger of the covenant in whom YOU are delighting. Look! He will certainly come, Jehovah of armies has said." Malachi 3:1.So John the Baptist, according to The Watchtower Bible, was making the way of Jehovah clear. Matthew was quoting Isaiah 40:3, which goes on to state:"This, in fact, is the one spoken of through Isaiah the prophet in these words: 'Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of Jehovah, YOU people! Make his roads straight'." Matthew 3:3 NWT.
"And the glory of Jehovah will certainly be revealed, and all flesh must see [it] together, for the very mouth of Jehovah has spoken [it]." Isaiah 40:5.Because of their attempts to insert the name "Jehovah" in their Bible where in other translations the special four consonants, YHWH (the tetragrammaton) is translated LORD, we have their Bible telling us that Jehovah of armies sent Jehovah of armies to reside in the midst of the people.
"For this is what Jehovah of armies has said, 'Following after [the] glory he has sent me to the nations that were despoiling YOU people; for he that is touching YOU is touching my eyeball. For here I am waving my hand against them, and they will have to become spoil to their slaves.' And YOU people will certainly know that Jehovah of armies himself has sent me. 'Cry out loudly and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for here I am coming, and I will reside in the midst of you,' is the utterance of Jehovah. 'And many nations will certainly become joined to Jehovah in that day, and they will actually become my people; and I will reside in the midst of you.' And you will have to know that Jehovah of armies himself has sent me to you." Zechariah 2:8-11 NWT.
"For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 NWT.When Jesus was born He was given the name "Immanuel, which means when translated, 'With us is God'." Matthew 1:23 NWT. (Not the best translation.)
"A mere remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God." Isaiah 10:21 NWT.
"... the true God, the great One, the mighty One, Jehovah of armies being his name." Jeremiah 32:18 NWT.
At this point we could go on and on quoting The Watchtower Bible to prove the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Without quoting the texts, let me present the straightforward scriptural Jesus. Always read the context, as in 1 Timothy 3:15,16.
| John 8:58 | Jesus |
| John 1:1 | John |
| John 10:33 | The Jews said Jesus made Himself out to be God. |
| John 20:28 | Thomas |
| Titus 2:13 | Paul |
| 2 Peter 1:1 | Peter |
| Hebrews 1:8 | God Himself called Jesus God. (Watch their erroneous translation.) |
"What, then, [is the case]? If some did not express faith, will their lack of faith perhaps make the faithfulness of God without effect? Never may that happen! But let God be found true, though every man be found a liar." Romans 3:3,4 NWT.You will discover that The Watchtower Society has gone out of its way to cover over the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. They certainly have not been true to Scripture.
"But we have renounced the underhanded things of which to be ashamed, not walking with cunning, neither adulterating the word of God, but by making the truth manifest recommending ourselves to every human conscience in the sight of God." 2 Corinthians 4:2.Instead they have manipulated Scripture so that it is made to say what they want it to say.
Regarding The Watchtower's interpretation of Proverbs 8 describing the beginning of the Lord Jesus Christ:-
"I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God." (NWT)We have already mentioned the order and voluntary subjection in the Godhead, so we need to treat this text in the same way that The Watchtower does. At Hebrews 1:8,10 we have the Almighty God speaking to His Son saying: "Your throne, O God..." and "You, LORD, ..." Does this mean that Almighty God is neither God nor Lord? Of course not.
Jehovah's Witnesses have a difficulty here, because The Watchtower Bible has suffered deliberate distortion here. Their translation states: "God is your throne forever and ever.." (Hebrews 1:8.) This is a quotation from Psalm 45:6,7, where their translation has also been changed.
O qronoV sou o qeoVClearly God the Father is calling Jesus "God" here. The way The Watchtower Bible reads, God is Christ's throne, making Jesus to sit on God.
The throne of you the God
"I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images." Isaiah 42:8 NWT.God certainly would not give His glory to another. So how does The Watchtower Society answer:-
"So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was." John 17:5 NWT.Jesus was simply claiming the glory which He had before His incarnation.
One of the prime reasons why The Watchtower denies the Deity of Christ Jesus, is because then the individual Jehovah's Witness would be answering to Jesus first, rather than to the 'organization.' The 'organization' has become their mediator between them and Jehovah. They will not survive their battle of Armageddon unless they prove themselves loyal and obedient to the 'mother' organization.
Another point is this. Jesus wants to be Lord of our lives: Christians have no problems with that, but Jehovah's Witnesses do. While they'll say that Jesus is Lord of their lives, He is only Lord, with Jehovah's permission. In fact He is a highly exalted brother of their special 'heavenly class,' (only 144,000 go to heaven, the rest stay on earth after a resurrection.) therefore the 'organization' holds the position of Lord in their lives. If you denied the Deity of Christ Jesus, He certainly couldn't be Lord of your life. Only God can be Lord of your life, and that's true. Thus, only the special 144,000 heaven bound ones are 'born again' in The Watchtower Society. Earthbound Jehovah's Witnesses have no assurance of salvation, therefore it is up to 'born again' Christians to point them to Jesus.
