You didn't read the main article very carefully, because the point was that the JWs *prove* the Catholic/Nicene teaching, they just don't realize it. Your response just makes the Catholic task of evagelism all the more easier, because you think the Trinity means Father=Son, but that isn't what Christians are saying. So as long as you keep parroting "Father=Son" it will just make JWs look bad.

This raises the question about ... The Word Was God. This raises the question about the authority of Scripture. Since this author assumes that the Scripture is true, and John assumed that the Scripture is true, we need to keep another truth in mind as we interpret this passage. There is only one God and there is no one beside him (Isaiah 43:11). The gods of the nations are idols (Psalm 96:5). So if John is saying that the Word is God, we cannot allow our interpretation of that to extend beyond that truth. There is only one God. Yet the Word was God. He could not be a god, as the Jehovah’s Witnesses will render this verse.<br /><br />But of course, doctrine does not render translations. The words do. So the reason that Jehovah’s Witnesses think that this should be rendered, “and the word was a god,” is that there is no article before the word ‘God,’ while there is one before ‘Word.’ However, I would object to that, the presence of the article only goes to show that the Word is the subject of the sentence. John could have put an article in front of God, the verse could have been rendered, ‘God was the Word.’ Thus rendering God and Word interchangeable, hence, teaching modalism. But John was not teaching modalism. What does John 1:1 mean? He put the article exclusively in front of Word because that was the best way to express that the Word was God.

The same goes for Thomas calling Jesus "my God" in John 20:28. ln their own publication… Thomas said to him: 'My Lord and my God!'-John 20:28" (Greek Interlinear reading, literally: "The Lord of me and the God of me!") Their own Greek Interlinear shows ho theos. (INTERLINEAR 1985, p. 513)<br /><br />This is polytheism, more than one god and worse yet they have an angel exalted as "a god." It does not matter if they worship him or not , they call him a god and creator. Jeremiah a reliable prophet said in chpt.10 v.11 "the Gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish…" Then what are they to do with Jesus who is called creator and "a god", is he to be eliminated with all the rest. That's the problem when you have two gods even if one is almighty and the other mighty. What of the Father? According to them he only created one thing, Jesus the angel. If he did not make the heavens and the earth he too will perish! So if Jesus who is called "a god" did not create it all, he goes the away with the rest of the false gods. This isn’t my opinion but Gods!<br /><br />If Jesus had been claiming to be only "a god" as J.W.'s teach, then He would not have been charged with "blasphemy" as in Jn 10:30 when they tried to stone Him for He made himself to be equal to God. Not another God, but claiming to be united with the one God, as the Greek language bears this saying "we are one"- in nature.thomas dickensheetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265833701229822786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-90553627403680748782016-06-24T06:52:37.108-07:002016-06-24T06:52:37.108-07:00Jeremiah who was a reliable prophet (not like the ...Jeremiah who was a reliable prophet (not like the WT) says in Jer.10:11 "The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth..."

That's a problem if you have two Gods even if one is almighty and the other mighty.What of the Father? If he did not make the heavens and the earth he too will perish !<br /><br />Isaiah 43:10: "No God was formed before me, nor will be after me. I, I am Jehovah, and there is no other Savior but me." Isn’t Jesus the savior? God knows of no other Gods yet Jesus is another God.<br /><br />Isaiah 44:6: "I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God."<br /><br />Isaiah 45:5, 6: "I am Jehovah and there is no other, there is no other God except me. (this means mighty also) Though you do not know me, I have armed you so that it may be known from east to west that there is no one except me. I am Jehovah and there is no other."<br /><br />Isaiah 46:9: "for I am God and there is no other."No God spelled with a big G or little g. Any man or spirit being that is called "god" cannot be the true Deity.

They reply in the affirmative, of course that’s what the Bible teaches. Now lets look right after "the word was "a" God" how many Gods is that, Jehovah the Father is God (that's one) and now the son is called God, that’s two isn’t it? Here’s where they get into a semantical jungle of an almighty God and a mighty God. Instead of arguing against their interpretation I use their view as if its true to show them the flaw in their logic. I then ask If God says there is only one God it doesn’t matter if one is mighty or almighty, one of them is a false God. Then I ask them is Jesus a false God? They of course would say no. Then my reply is then he must be a a true God. Is Jehovah the Father a false God? They reply, of course not. Then I help them count them again and say Jn.1:1 has two Gods according to your teaching-- two Gods not one, that’s not Monotheism, that is paganism. I’m sorry I didn’t have a camera available for the expressions I’ve seen from this dialogue, but its worth its weight in gold. Reactions can be from them running away and then coming back with an answer such as "at least I’m going door to door, to one woman who looked so perplexed and exasperated that she actually said "so were pagans"!thomas dickensheetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265833701229822786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-89341920372708195382014-06-20T06:05:37.348-07:002014-06-20T06:05:37.348-07:00We have already established that there is ONE TRUE...We have already established that there is ONE TRUE GOD by nature. Now we ask the Jehovah's Witnesses the key question -- Is Jesus a true god or a false god? They will have to admit that Jesus is a true god. This forces them to believe in more than one true god! You can't believe in two true gods as the J.W.'s do and still be a Christian and a Bible believer! This is a real dilemma for Jehovah's Witnesses.<br /><br /> I remember presenting this concept to one Jehovah's Witness. I then asked, "how many gods do Jehovah's Witnesses believe in?" After thinking over the matter carefully, and pondering at some length, the Jehovah's Witness finally replied, "one and a half!" The explanation was of course, that they believe Jehovah [God one] created Jesus [god two], but Jesus was at the same time the archangel Michael, so Jesus became "sort of a hybrid being, a god/archangel Michael" at the same time! This reasoning also makes them polytheists, as does their rendering of John 1:1 in their "New World Translation" of the bible.<br /><br /> " In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god".<br /><br /> No reputable Bible scholars will endorse this [mis]translation.

The Watchtower, in an effort to remove any threat of the Bible teaching the deity of Christ, has ended up in an even worse situation after tempering with this verse. Polytheism is now introduced into its theology, something which time and time again the Bible forbids (Is 43:10; 44:6, 8; 45:21-23). We may ask: "If Jesus is 'a god' why don't you worship him? What are gods for? A: to be worshipped. If Jehovah made this god (Jesus) then he must be a true god (and approved). Therefore, he cannot be false, it must be right to worship him. The why must he not be worshipped? How do you feel about a god you are not allowed to worship?" The outcome is obvious. Jesus Christ can never, ever be a god.thomas dickensheetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265833701229822786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-43738955663657149692014-06-20T04:58:22.972-07:002014-06-20T04:58:22.972-07:00ALL OBJECTIONS TO JESUS BEING JEHOVAH FAIL
"...ALL OBJECTIONS TO JESUS BEING JEHOVAH FAIL<br /> "Jesus is `a' god, not `the' God" The Watchtower Society's New World Translation renders Jn 1:1 as "... and the Word was a god." But the original Greek is, kai theos en ho logos ("and God was the Word"). That is, the pre-incarnate Son (Jn 1:14) shared the Father's God-nature. New Testament Greek does not have an indefinite article ("a") as English does, so the absence of the definite article ho ("the") before a noun, e.g. "God," does not mean it is indefinite. In the same chapter the word "God" appears without the definite article in Jn 1:6,12,13,18 but the NWT each time translates it as "God" without the indefinite article "a". The NWT's "a god" translation of John 1:1 makes Jehovah's Witnesses polytheists: those who believe in the existence of more than one true god. That is unless they wish to claim that Jesus is a false god! And the Apostle John, being a devout Jew, was a monotheist: one who believed in the existence of only one true God (Jn 17:3). So the NWT's "a god" translation of John 1:1 cannot be correct, and in fact all mainstream English translations render John 1:1 "... and the Word was God" (e.g. ASV, ESV, KJV, NIV, RSV, NASB & NKJV). thomas dickensheetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265833701229822786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-29830654519042556042014-06-20T04:53:31.185-07:002014-06-20T04:53:31.185-07:00Subtracting From the Deity of Jesus
The Bible is q...Subtracting From the Deity of Jesus<br />The Bible is quite explicit when it states that Jesus was God incarnate. The<br />first verse in the Gospel of John makes this point by stating “the Word [Jesus] was<br />God.” Other New Testament writers also affirm, in their own way, that Jesus was<br />fully God. These same authors are also quite forthright about Jesus’ humanity.<br />Again, the Gospel of John states that this same “Word [Jesus] was made flesh and<br />dwelt among us” (John 1:18). While the Bible clearly states that within Jesus’<br />unique nature He was both fully God and fully man, the cults disagree.thomas dickensheetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265833701229822786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-25628689846656187652013-11-11T11:37:05.836-08:002013-11-11T11:37:05.836-08:00Thank you Nick - the JW's are wrong because th...Thank you Nick - the JW's are wrong because they refuse to take the implications of John seriously, as they fail to take Jesus telling his followers they must eat his body and frink his blood. There is a very good explanation here http://tinyurl.com/psxyvuh which comes as a download text file from Kevin Alan Lewis of Biola University. When read with the understanding that the passage harks back to Genesis 1:1 and that for all Jews there was only one God, the passage cannot be read as meaning the Word was a separate god. 'In the beginning...' means before everything else. This is why the JW's also add the word 'other' in their translation, as in 'through Him all (other) things were made' i.e.e they add a word which is not there to maintain their 'take' on the Bible. God is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. 3 in 1, but the JW's just don't want to know. Oh well :\<br />Best wishes,<br />Adamadtheladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11547876597884642821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-49017827856780106332011-02-07T17:25:01.513-08:002011-02-07T17:25:01.513-08:00Hello larskasch,

This is perfectly orthodox Christology, and doesn't contradict any of those passages.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453168437883536663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-53006154072418729292011-02-07T10:27:42.530-08:002011-02-07T10:27:42.530-08:00Unless I'm hearing you wrong, you're sayin...Unless I'm hearing you wrong, you're saying that Jesus is God only in nature? He forgave sin Lk 5:20,21; creator Col 1:16; is eternal Jn 8:58; He was always with the Father & Spirit and was God at the same time. Please tell me I heard you wrong.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048007687801553273noreply@blogger.com
