Jehovah's Witness Lies
Jehovah's Witness Lies
If you are a Jehovah's Witness, if you are someone studying with a
JW, or if you are someone who just knows a JW, please read through this
website.
There is undeniable proof that the Jehovah's Witness religion is not
from God and the 'WatchTower' is run by a bunch of biased, deceptive,
and lying men.
Please know, there are NO 'APOSTATE' MATERIALS posted here. All
images and quotes are taken from the Watchtower's own publications and
have already been read by millions of Jehovah's Witnesses.
So there is no reason to disregard this information or run away in
fear. All the information presented here is meant to help Jehovah's
Witnesses wake up and stop wasting their lives working as slaves.
With a little time and with a little patience, everyone should be
able to clearly see the real truth.
Please also know, this website is not intended to go against the
good, hard working, and dedicated people who are Jehovah's Witnesses.
The goal of this website is to go against the 'WatchTower' and the
actual Jehovah's Witness religion because their deception and lies have
fooled millions.
Proof Jesus Is God Almighty
Questions For Jehovah's Witnesses
I left the WatchTower. Now what?
Jesus Died On A Cross
Invalid JW Arguments
Brainwashed Jehovah's Witnesses Titles Shared By Jehovah & Jesus
Proof Jesus Is God Almighty
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is not God, but rather the
first creation of Jehovah God.
Many JW's will admit to the diety of Jesus and say he is 'a God' or a
'separate God' or 'God-like', but not the same as Jehovah God.
This contradicts many scriptures though! Just one example is at
Isaiah 44:6-8 which clearly says there is only ONE God and there is none
like him.
They also teach that Jesus is a spirit creature called Michael the
Archangel and that he was recreated after dying.
This also contradicts many scriptures.
The Watchtower will do everything possible to keep their members from
knowing the truth.
Whatever they can get away with, is what they will do.
Fortunately, they were not able to completely hide the truth and it
is quite easy to prove from their own New World Translation (NWT) that
Jesus is in fact God Almighty.
See the proof from their own 2013 NWT Bible below.
Here is also a short list of scriptures proving Jesus is God. This is not a full list. All these come from the JW's own Bible.
New World Translation is Biased
Hebrews 1:10-12 - Notice that these scriptures are clearly talking ABOUT JESUS.
See verse 8 in case there is any doubt.
There is a reference back to Psalms 102:25-27.
Make sure to read Hebrews 1:10-12 entirely before proceeding in order to understand the point.
What you will notice is that this is a new testament quotation from the old testament.
After you have read Hebrews 1:10-12, look at the next image below to see what Psalms 102:25-27 actually says.
Psalms 102:25-27 - Here it is clearly talking ABOUT JEHOVAH.
Even a JW must agree with this.
What we have here is an old testament passage which is almost
exactly the same word-for-word as Hebrews 1:10-12 which is about Jesus!
So in Psalms it is referring to Jehovah, but in Hebrews it is
referring to Jesus.
Both passages have cross references pointing back to each other in
the NWT.
So the WatchTower even realizes and agrees that these 2 sets of
scripture are related.
Read the 2 passages of scripture carefully, and there is no denying
that the NWT Bible proves Jesus is Jehovah.
Here is also a short list of scriptures proving Jesus is God. This is not a full list. All these come from the JW's own Bible.
- Deuteronomy 6:16
- While in the desert, the Israelites tested God.
Compare also Numbers 21:6
and Exodus 17:7.
We can see that JEHOVAH WAS TESTED AND SENT THE SERPENTS.
However, according to 1 Corinthians 10:9, JESUS WAS TESTED AND SENT THE SERPENTS.
Please refer to the 'WatchTower Is Deceptive!' section of this site for more supporting information.
The true meaning does in fact mean Jesus even though the NWT says Jehovah.
They translated the text incorrectly in order to hide that Jesus is Jehovah.
There are also biblical parallels that support this fact:
- The Israelites were in the desert for 40 years. Jesus was in the desert 40 days.
- The Israelites TESTED JEHOVAH in the desert. Satan TESTED JESUS in the desert. See Matthew 4:7 and Luke 4:12.
- The Israelites TESTED JEHOVAH by asking if Jehovah was in their midst or not. Satan TESTED JESUS the same way by asking him to prove he was the Son (God) even though Jesus was in his midst.
- Isaiah 44:6 - This verse is clearly talking ABOUT JEHOVAH. Jehovah is the 'first and the last' and there is no God but him. Compare this to the reference they have for Revelation 22:13. Here it is talking ABOUT JESUS and it says Jesus is the 'first and the last'. They even have a reference pointing back to Isaiah 44:6. So the Watchtower agrees that these 2 sets of scriptures are related. In Isaiah, the verse was about Jehovah, but in Revelation it is about Jesus! In case there is any doubt Revelation 22:13 is about Jesus, notice in verse 12 how it states Jesus is coming and in verse 20 it says "Come, Lord Jesus". The entire time it is talking about Jesus! Here once again, the NWT has linked Jehovah in the old testament to Jesus in the new testament, proving that Jesus is Jehovah God. Revelation 1:17-18 also uses the phrase 'first and the last' and the 'first and the last' became dead. Jehovah's Witnesses, when did Jehovah ever die? The 'first and the last' must be Jesus himself. And as Isaiah 44:6 in your own Bible proves, the 'first and the last' is Jehovah. Therefore, Jesus is Jehovah!
- Isaiah 9:6 - Jesus is called 'Mighty God' plain and simple. There is a big 'G' for God and not a little 'g'. A Jehovah's Witness may say in reply that Jesus is a separate big 'G' God other than Jehovah. Which contradicts scripture since there is only ONE God! So Jesus must be God without contradicting scripture. Even ignoring that, according to their own Bible, Jehovah is called the same term 'Mighty God' though. This can be found just one chapter later at Isaiah 10:21. So in Isaiah 9:6, JESUS IS MIGHTY GOD, but in Isaiah 10:21, JEHOVAH IS MIGHTY GOD. All this can mean only one thing, and that is, Jesus is Jehovah God.
- Zechariah 11:12-13 - Thirty pieces of silver were weighed out in verse 12. In verse 13, Jehovah says that this is the price that he had been valued at. We all know that Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The Watchtower even recognizes the connection between these verses and Jesus because they have a cross reference pointing to the New Testament. So we see clearly that Jehovah was valued at this price and Jesus was valued at this price. Which can only mean that Jesus is Jehovah!
- Matthew 1:23 - Jesus is called 'Immanuel' which means 'With us is God'.
- John 2:19-21 - Jesus told the Jews that if they destroyed this temple that HE would raise it again in 3 days. The ‘temple’ is then defined plainly as his BODY. So it is clear that JESUS RAISED HIS OWN BODY. This proves Jesus is God because the Bible says GOD RAISED JESUS. See Acts 2:24, Acts 2:32, Acts 3:15, Acts 3:26, Acts 4:10, Acts 5:30, Acts 10:40, Acts 13:30-37, Romans 4:24, Romans 6:4, Romans 10:9, 1 Corinthians 6:14, Galations 1:1, Ephesians 1:17-20, Colossians 2:12, and 1 Peter 1:21.
- John 5:18 - Everyone understood by his words that Jesus was making himself equal with God.
- John 10:30-33 - The Jews picked up stones to kill Jesus because of blasphemy for claiming to be God. The JWs have Jesus here as a little 'g' God, which makes Jesus claiming to be a false god. If he was claiming to be a false god, he would not be guilty of blasphemy. They wanted to kill him because of claiming to be the true God.
- John 12:41 - John says Isaiah saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him. The New World Translation has a cross reference pointing back to Isaiah 6:1,8. There Isaiah saw Jehovah and spoke about him. There is even a cross reference pointing to John 12:41. So the Watchtower agrees that these scriptures are related. In Isaiah, it is ABOUT JEHOVAH, but in John it is ABOUT JESUS. Which proves from the New World Translation that Jesus is Jehovah!
- John 14:8-9 - Philip still didn't get the point and said something Jesus considered silly. Jesus replied back proving he is God.
- John 14:14 - Jesus said we can pray to him in his own name.
IMPORTANT NOTE : They removed the word 'me' from this verse to try and hide the fact that we can pray to Jesus himself. You can prove to a JW that the word must be there from their own Kingdom Interlinear Translation though. - John 20:28 - Thomas called Jesus 'God' with a big 'G'. A JW will say Thomas simply said this out of shock or some other lame excuse. Even if this were the case, Jesus never corrected the mistake. He actually confirmed that Thomas was correct.
- Acts 7:59 - Stephen prayed to Jesus. Only God can be prayed to.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The word here is translated in other verses as 'called on' or 'called out to'. For example, they properly translated the word in Acts 2:21, Acts 9:14, Acts 9:21, Acts 22:16, Romans 10:12-14, and 2 Tim. 2:22. The word can also mean 'appeal to', but they did not even render it this way! They intentionally used the phrase 'made this appeal' which is vague and hides who the appeal was made to. They are trying to hide the fact that Jesus was prayed to which would make him God. However, we know it means prayer because they admitted this in their 1950 version of Acts 7:59! Also, common sense tells us that it is a prayer since Jesus was nowhere near Stephen during his death and he said 'receive my spirit'. Nobody other than God himself could ever be prayed to and receive someone's spirit. - 1 John 1:5-7 - This verse clearly shows that GOD IS LIGHT. Notice that the 'him' being referred to here is God. This can be seen in verse 7 since it says "Jesus his Son'. So the 'him' and 'his' are clearly referring to God himself. Now, here is the point. The author says that this is the message that they heard from 'him' (God). So when did they receive this message and who gave them this message? The answer is in John's Gospel. According to John 1:9, JESUS IS THE TRUE LIGHT. Where did John here this from? The answer can be found in the same book at John 12:35-36. Jesus himself gave them this message that he is the light. In 1 John 1:5-7, it says God gave them this message, but in the book of John, Jesus himself gave them this message.
- Revelation 1:7-8 - Jesus is called the Alpha and Omega, Jehovah God, and the Almighty. We know it is Jesus because in verse 7 it says he was pierced. Jesus was the one that was pierced. Even the original Jehovah's Witnesses were taught that the 'Almighty' in this verse was Jesus himself. See the proof of this below.
- Revelation 5:13-14 - Jehovah (God the Father) and the Lamb (Jesus) are both worshipped at the same time.
The Bible is clear that only the one true God may be worshipped.
Anything else is a contradiction to plain biblical truth.
Therefore, Jesus must be Jehovah without contradicting scripture.
There are several other scriptures that show JESUS WAS WORSHIPPED,
but the Watchtower has translated them as 'obeisance'.
The Watchtower has admitted several times in the past that Jesus
was worshipped and can be worshipped. Below are some examples.
Anyone who has talked to a Jehovah's Witness will probably know how
fearful they are of looking at anything not published by the Watchtower.
They will often repeat the same memorized phrases over and over about
this. One of the reasons they often give is that other materials are so
biased.
Well, the Watchtower publications, including their New World
Translation, are extremely biased.
See proof directly from their own 2013 NWT Bible and also their 1969
Kingdom Interlinear Translation.
Please note, this is just a drop in the bucket compared to everything
that could be said about this topic.
There are many other examples not mentioned here.
Matthew 2:8,11
:
Matthew 2:8,11 from their 1969 Kingdom Interlinear Translation both
have the word 'proskuneo' translated as 'obeisance' since it is in
regards to Jesus.
They never translate this word as 'worship' because they are biased
against Jesus and believe Jesus is not God.
So him being worshipped contradicts their belief and they changed it.
However, they do translate this word as 'worship' when the verse is
about Satan!
See an example below.
Matthew 4:9-10
:
Matthew 4:9-10 from their 1969 Kingdom Interlinear Translation are
examples of when they translate the word 'proskuneo' as 'worship'.
This word is used many times in the new testament. They always
translate it as 'worship' when the verse is about Jehovah or Satan.
Never do they translate the word as 'worship' when the verse is about
Jesus though!
Jehovah's Witnesses, how is this not biased???
Acts 7:59
:
According to their 1969 Kingdom Interlinear Translation, Stephen
'called upon' Jesus.
On the right side, they have it rendered as 'made appeal' though.
It is obvious how they decreased the meaning of the text by going
from 'calling upon' to simply 'made appeal'.
The word is translated in other verses as 'called on' or 'called out
to'.
For example, they properly translated the word in Acts 2:21, Acts
9:14, Acts 9:21, Acts 22:16, Romans 10:12-14, and 2 Tim. 2:22.
The word can actually mean 'appeal to', but they did not even
render it this way!
In their newest NWT (2013), they intentionally used the phrase 'made
this appeal' which is vague and hides who the appeal was made to.
They are trying to hide the fact that Jesus was prayed to which
would make him God.
However, we know it means prayer because they admitted this in their 1950 version of Acts 7:59!
We also know it is a prayer because Jesus was nowhere near Stephen during his death and he said 'receive my spirit'.
Nobody other than God himself could ever be prayed to and receive someone's spirit.
The WatchTower Is Deceptive!
Isaiah 9:6 - Here it states a child and son that was born.
Which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ.
Then it calls the child 'Mighty God' with a big 'G'.
This is yet more proof that Jesus is God, but besides that, you will see an example of their biased Bible.
Compare this verse to their reference at John 1:18 to see the point.
John 1:18 - Here the NWT calls Jesus as a little 'g' god.
So they go from a big 'G' in Isaiah 9:6 to a little 'g' to demote Jesus.
They demote Jesus like this since they teach that Jesus is not God Almighty.
So they try and make Jesus a separate, smaller or less powerful God.
Which contradicts the Bible, but that is another topic.
Not only is the Watchtower biased in doing this, but they are inconsistent.
John 8:58 - Their 1969 Kingdom Interlinear
Translation proves that they changed the words of Jesus from saying "I
am" to "I have been".
It changes the complete thought of the verse and is a deception. The
Jews knew exactly what he was saying (see Exodus. 3:14-15 in a real
Bible).
They understood he was claiming to be God and thought he was guilty
of blasphemy. Stoning was the punishment due for someone guilty of
blasphemy.
This is why they picked up stones to kill him. Jehovah's Witnesses,
why would the people have wanted to kill him simply because he said "I
have been"?
By the way, their 2013 Gray New World Translation does not have any
notes about why they changed the 'I am' to 'I have been'.
You would think that they would at least put a footnote in their
Bible so the reader would have a better understanding of what happened.
Appparently, they think it is more important to place a footnote on
the same page that clarifies how "since he began" could also mean "from
the beginning" when the verse is about Satan!
- John 14:14 : John 14:14 in their 1969 Kingdom Interlinear Translation proves they removed the word 'me'. If they had let the text unaltered, it would have said we can pray to Jesus himself in his name. They changed the text to fit their doctrine since they do not believe Jesus is God. Therefore, he should not be prayed to.
-
1 Corinthians 10:9 :
They have committed deception multiple ways in connection with this verse.
- They render the word 'Kyrios' as Jehovah instead of 'Lord'. In their Interlinear translation, it shows the same word that they have translated numerous times as 'Lord' in regards to Jesus! They pick and choose when to translate this word correctly. The reason they have it here as Jehovah and not Lord is because someone could prove Jesus is Jehovah by comparing other scriptures. For example, they have a cross reference to Deuteronomy 6:16 and Numbers 21:6 which are about Jehovah. These scriptures are related with Exodus 17:7 which is also about Jehovah. So if they had translated correctly with Lord (Jesus) in 1 Corinthians 10:9, this would mean Jesus was the one who was tempted and sent the serpents. Which would mean Jesus is Jehovah God.
- They have a footnote pointing to Appendix A5 to support their translation. If you go there though, all it talks about is the divine name being restored in the new testament and supporting reasons for why they think the Tetragrammaton was in the original Greek text. There is no hard evidence, but only speculation. Assuming they are even correct, they say nothing about why they fail to translate 'Kyrios' as Jehovah every time! They explain it as if they diligently translated 'Kyrios' as Jehovah throughout the entire New Testament, which is far from the truth. For example, they say "It uses the name Jehovah a total of 237 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures". It is not until someone actually researches a little bit that they learn this word occurs in the New Testament more than 700 times though. They translate the word as Jehovah only a small fraction of the time. They translate the word differently depending on how convenient it is for them and whether or not it is in agreement with their false doctrine. Yet, at the end of Appendix A5 they said their translators "have a deep respect for the divine name and a healthy fear of removing anything that appeared in the original text". This is deceptive wording for 2 reasons. First, if they had a deep respect and healthy fear for the divine name, they would consistently translate 'Kyrios' as Jehovah each and every time. Secondly, they could never be guilty of 'removing' anything since all they provided was speculation and the Tetragrammaton actually does not appear in any of the New Testament manuscripts. Even if it had originally appeared, they would not be 'removing' anything since this was already done centuries ago. You cannot remove anything that has already been removed. They use wording like this throughout the Appendix A5 to portray to readers that they are honest and scholarly, but it is all deception once someone does the research.
- They also conveniently fail to mention that some manuscripts of 1 Corinthians 10:9 use the word 'Christos' (Christ) and not 'Kyrios' (Lord). Which means in other manuscripts more detail was provided by showing who the Lord is. Of course, the NWT has no mention to this in their footnotes or Appendix A5. They not only disregard other manuscripts which detail specifically that this is Christ, but they do not even translate the word as Lord.
- 2 Corinthians 13:5 : In their own Kingdom Interlinear Translation, on the right side it says "in union with you" but on the left side this is nowhere to be found. It only says "in you". They intentionally changed the thought completely. Saying "in union with you" is completely different than "in you". They dont believe Jesus can live inside anyone so this is why they intentionally made this change.
- 2 Peter 1:1 : In their own Kingdom Interlinear Translation, on the right side it shows they inserted the word 'the' in brackets and on the left side the word 'the' is not in the original text. In their 2013 version of 2 Peter 1:1, they have the word 'the' in the text with no brackets and no footnote explaining why it was added. The reason why they added it is because it makes it look as if their are two separate persons instead of one. If they had let the text unaltered, it would mean Jesus is our God and Savior.
- In your Bible, you have a section of John 8:58 translated as "I have been" when it should have been translated "I am". Why would the Jews have tried stoning him after he simply said "I have been"? Jesus had just got done saying that they were not from God and were also liars, but yet they didn't want to stone him. Why wasn't it until only after he said "I have been" did they want to stone him?
- In your Bible, you have a word 'me' removed from John 14:14. Your 1969 Kingdom Interlinear Translation proves that the missing word 'me' must be there. If translated correctly, doesn't this mean that we can pray to Jesus himself?
- If old false teachings can simply be explained away by receiving "new light" then isn't this like the WatchTower setting themselves up to never be wrong or accountable?
- If old false teachings can simply be explained away by receiving "new light", then it is theoretically possible that what you are teaching now may actually be false because in another 5 years or so there can be "new light" again. Since this is the case, wouldn't Jehovah be responsible for spreading false teaching?
- If the Holy Spirit is only Jehovah's active force, why does the Holy Spirit speak and use the pronouns "I" and "me" about himself in places like Acts 13:2 and Hebrews 3:7?
- Why does your Bible render the word 'proskuneo' as 'obeisance' in regards to Jesus, but as 'worship' in regards to Jehovah and even Satan?
- Why did the translators of your Bible conveniently fail to insert the word 'Jehovah' in Philippians 2:11, Romans 10:9, and 1 Corinthians 12:3?
- Why does JW artwork consistently show through all the years Jesus with a single nail through his wrist at the time of crucifixion? Scriptures do not say anything about the wrist and John 20:25 says that more than one nail was used for his hands.
- In Acts 5 verse 3 it says that Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit and in verse 4 it says that Ananias lied to God. Ignoring the direct correlation between God and the Holy Spirit, if the Holy Spirit is not a person and is just God's active force, how can it even be lied to?
- How do you explain the direct correlation made between the Holy Spirit and Jehovah made at Acts 28:25-27 and Isaiah 6:8-10? There is even a footnote between the two passages in your own Bible. In Acts it says the Holy Spirit spoke, but in Isaiah it says Jehovah spoke.
- How do you explain the direct correlation made between the Holy Spirit and Jehovah made at Hebrews 3:7 and Psalms 95:7-11? There are multiple footnotes between the two passages in the NWT. In Hebrews it says the Holy Spirit spoke, but in Psalms it says Jehovah spoke.
- How do you explain Rev. 3:21 and Rev. 22:1-4 where it says there is a single throne that belongs to both Jehovah and Jesus? Also, how do you explain the singular words 'his' and 'him' being used when both Jehovah and Jesus are the subject?
- How do you explain Rev. 5:6, 13-14 which shows that Jehovah, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as all receiving the same exact worship at the same exact time?
- Why do you make a big deal out of the invented name 'Jehovah' when your own organization admitted several times that nobody actually knows the true name of God?
- Since Jehovah's Witnesses believe that you cannot truly know someone without knowing their name, doesn't this mean that you don't know your own God then since nobody knows the true name of God?
- Since God is all-powerful and all-knowing, why is it that God let his name remain unknown, but we know the name of Jesus?
- Why is it that we don't know the name of God, but we do know the name of Jesus and it is his name by which we are saved and it is his name that is above EVERY name?
- Why is it that you are called 'Jehovah's Witnesses' but Isaiah 62:2 says God would call his people by a new name (single name, not names) and that new name was already assigned in Acts 11:26?
Jehovah's Witnesses are adamant that Jesus died on a 'torture stake'
and not a cross.
They take Matthew 23:24 to a whole new level. For example, they make
a big deal about such a topic, but then teach such things like Jesus is
Michael the Archangel!
There is more proof from the Bible that he died on a cross than
there is for the torture stake. Some of the proof is listed below.
Jehovah = God's Name. Really???
Proof Holy Spirit Is God
Concept Of Trinity In NWT- John 20:25 in the NWT says, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the NAILS". So there was more than 1 nail used for his hands. Hands stretched horizontally to the sides, as would be the case with a cross, would require more than 1 nail.
- Matthew 27:37 in the NWT says, "They also posted ABOVE HIS HEAD the charge against him, in writing". Notice that it doesn't say 'above his hands' or 'above his arms'. Which would have been necessary if his arms were stretched vertically on a torture stake. Rather, it says "above his head" which is completely accurate if his arms were stretched horizontally on a cross.
- John 19:19-20 in the NWT also gives us a clue. It says, "MANY OF THE JEWS READ THIS TITLE, because the place where Jesus was nailed to the stake was NEAR THE CITY, and it was WRITTEN IN HEBREW, IN LATIN, AND IN GREEK". These clues suggest that the sign was big. It is saying that many people read the sign since it was near the city and because it was in multiple languages. It wasn't some little sign that could only be read by the followers of Jesus, the religious rulers, and soldiers who were standing up close to Jesus. It was specifically made so that people in the nearby city or passerby to/from the city could read it. There would have been no point in making a sign in 3 languages only to have it read by the people who were up close to Jesus. So the sign had to be big enough to accomplish the goal of it being read by people of the city, which it sucessfully did according to the verse. It at least had to be big enough to adequately contain the phrase in 3 languages and not only 1. Since the sign had to be a good size, there probably would not have been enough room on the torture stake at the top above his vertically stretched arms. Not unless they had a custom-sized torture stake prepared for him in advance. Which would go against what the Bible says since Jesus was taken at night and he was sent to different locations before his death. The Bible implies that the circumstances leading to his death were in haste. Even the sign had to be prepared on the fly. They were not prepared for all this. So they certainly used the same standard length pieces of wood for Jesus as they did for everyone else. This theory lends evidence that Jesus died on a Cross with arms stretched horizontally. Only arms streteched horizontally would have left plenty of room at the top for the big sign!
The Jehovah's Witnesses consistently illustrate in their artwork Jesus having a single nail through his wrists. Not NAILS as John 20:25 states.
Nowhere in scripture is the wrist ever mentioned in regards to the crucifixion of Jesus.
Also, notice how small the text in the sign is. A sign of this size would not be easily readable to anyone other than people standing directly in front of Jesus. The sign was probably much bigger to have more visibility. See point #3 above.
Also, notice how small the text in the sign is. A sign of this size would not be easily readable to anyone other than people standing directly in front of Jesus. The sign was probably much bigger to have more visibility. See point #3 above.
More inaccurate artwork produced by the WatchTower. Notice in both images a single nail through the wrist. Not NAILS.
And again, the wrist had nothing to do with this.
Also, notice again such a small sign. In reality, someone who would go to the trouble of having a sign made in 3 languages would not make the sign so small so that it would be hard to see. Also, notice on the left image how there is little room left at the top of the torture stake for a sign. See point #3 above.

Invalid JW Arguments
The Jehovah's Witnesses often use invalid arguments in debating.
Some of their same arguments can even be used against them to prove they are wrong.
Some examples of these invalid arguments are below.
Jesus Was Physically Resurrected
Jesus Was Never Recreated- Jesus cannot be God because he is the Son.
ANSWER:
Saying Jesus cannot be God because he is the 'Son of God' is the same as saying Jesus cannot be man since he is the 'Son of Man'. Anyways, human logic is not the final authority. The Bible, which is God's Word, is the final authority. - Jesus cannot be God since he is the 'firstborn' (Colossians 1:15)
ANSWER:
1) Firstborn here does not mean born first. It is a term related to position, authority, and status. The Bible has the term 'firstborn' in other verses and it has nothing to do with being born (created) first. For example, David was firstborn, but he was actually the last born. Another example is how Jacob was the firstborn, but he actually was not born first. The context of Colossians itself proves this point. It is talking about Christ's Supremacy. Of course, the Watchtower knows all this and it is why they have perverted this text by adding the word 'other' multiple times in Colossians chapter 1.
2) The term 'firstborn' was used in a prophecy about Jesus located in Psalms. See Psalms 89:27 where it says David would be placed as firstborn even after he already existed. Psalms 89 has it's final fulfillment with Jesus Christ himself! Jesus, who is in the line of David, is the king of kings, he is the ruler over all the kings of the earth, and he will rule forever. So Jesus, who is in the line of David and who fulfilled the prophecy about David, had the term firstborn placed on him and it has nothing to do with him being created. Psalms 89 also agrees with point 1 above because it links the term firstborn with position, authority, and status.
3) The term 'firstborn' can also apply to Jesus because he literally is the Son of God born by the Holy Spirit (God). See Romans 8:29 where it says Jesus would be firstborn among many brothers. It's talking about humans here. Again, this verse has nothing to do with Jesus being created. The term here is in reference to his Earthly life. He was born by the Spirit just like we too are all to be born by the Spirit in his likeness.
4) The term 'firstborn' in Revelation 1:5 is linked to Jesus death as a human. It says "firstborn from the dead". Again, it has nothing to do with being born or created. This verse also agrees with point 1 above and links the term 'firstborn' with position, authority, and status since it says Jesus is the Ruler of the kings of the Earth. - Jesus cannot be God because he never said he is God.
ANSWER:
Jesus never said he is Michael the Archangel. Jesus never even said directly he is the Son of God, but we all know he is. - The 'Trinity' cannot be true since it has pagan history.
ANSWER:
So does the Jehovah's Witness religion! Look at your own religion before using this argument. If Charles Taze Russell was alive today, he would be disfellowshipped in a heartbeart. This argument is simply invalid because Satan likes to mimic and counterfeit God. Of course, he will take a Biblical concept and twist it to mislead others later. It's what he does. - The 'Trinity' cannot be true because the word never appears in the Bible.
ANSWER:
Neither do many words we use. Are the words 'Kingdom Hall' or 'Theocratic Ministry School' in the Bible? The word 'Trinity' is just a word that everybody is familiar with. What is important is the CONCEPT of the trinity. The concept of the trinity is clearly in the Bible. - You are wrong because we have the truth!
ANSWER:
Jehovah's Witnesses, just because you hear how you have the truth a thousand times per year doesn't make it the truth. The Jehovah's Witness religion has bad history, has made false prophecies, has perverted God's word, and has been deceptive. For each of the 4 reasons just mentioned, there is biblical proof that it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to be the true religion. - We have the most accurate Bible translation in existence.
ANSWER:
Your own Kingdom Interlinear Translation proves in multiple places how the WatchTower has intentionally altered scripture to fit their teachings. Your prior Bible versions can also prove the same thing when compared to the new 2013 version. Furthermore, the so-called translators remain secret to this day. When asked why this is the case, a JW will say it is to keep glory from going to the translators. Which is an excuse. The names of more important Jehovah's Witnesses do not remain secret. For example, the governing body members are all known. The so-called translators are the only ones that remain secret. You can take any well known Bible and you can find the translators responsible. For example, the new NET Bible has a list of professional scholars and translators with their actual names, credentials, and education. The NET includes more than 29000 translation notes to explain why verses were translated the way they were. This is complete transparency. Unlike the New World Translation which is secretive and deceptive. - Jesus is 'Mighty God' but not 'Almighty God'
ANSWER:
First, this contradicts multiple scriptures like Isaiah 44:6-8 which clearly says there is only one God and there is no other God. So 'Mighty God' and 'Almighty God' must be referring to the same God if the scriptures are true. Secondly, Jehovah himself in your own Bible is called 'Mighty God'. See Isaiah 10:20-21 which is only one chapter after Isaiah 9:6 which calls Jesus 'Mighty God'. - You cannot know someone unless you know their name.
ANSWER:
By your own admission then, you don't know your own God. According to your own Watchtower organization, they do not know God's name and say it is impossible for anyone to know God's true name. There is a section on this website dedicated to this topic. Therefore, you are admitting that you don't truly know your own God.
The Bible shows us that it is possible to know God without knowing his name. See Exodus 6:2-4 where it says that Jehovah appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but he never revealed his name to them. Yet, not only did they know him, but God made a covenant with them!
Secondly, all one needs to do is consider some real life situations to know that it is certainly possible to know someone without knowing their name. Let's say you went to school with someone for years during childhood. Years later, you see that person at the supermarket from the distance and say "I know him". You can recall childhood memories in great detail of being together at school and talking with that person. Yet, you no longer can remember the person's name! You still know the person though.
Or let's say someone gets a legal name change. You could know a person intimately for years, but if they were to get their name changed, it would not prevent you from knowing that person and it doesn't mean you would know that person any less.
Another real life example is when someone goes by a false name or a nick name. You could know someone for years and call them by a name that is not actually their real name. It would not mean you never knew the person or know the person any less. - Matthew 6:9 proves we need to pray to God in his personal name.
ANSWER:
First, if this prayer is to be taken as instruction for praying to the Father in his personal name, then why didn't Jesus do this himself? He did not do this, but only ever said "Father". Considering this is a model prayer, Jesus failed to do the job, if JW logic is true.
Secondly, Jesus prayed that the Father's name be sanctified or hallowed depending on what translation you use. This means to be made set apart or more holy. That's all the text says. Jesus doesn't say how this will happen or who will do this. Actually, this had already happened on Earth and the prayer was for the continuation of this. We know that the Jews considered this name so holy that they were afraid to even use it. So the prayer was for the continuation of this just like he showed us to pray for other things we already have like receiving daily bread. Taking the text of this verse and saying this means we need to use God's personal name in prayer is a twisting of text. The text simply doesn't say this.
Lastly, the Bible clearly says what name is above every name and by what name we are to be saved. That name is Jesus! There are multiple verses to prove this. Which the JW religion has purposely changed by doing things like adding the word 'other' where it doesn't belong. Also, read the other section of this website about the name Jehovah. You will see that this is an invented name and nobody knows the Father's real name. The JWs just use this name to set themselves as different from other religions. It serves as company branding for their corporation.
