1 | The name Jehovah or the name of Jesus? | Acts 4:12 | New Creature | 92814 | ||
Pastor Glenn; Please excuse me for butting in, but I can provide you with how the NWT words 1 John 4:1-3. This is how it reads: 4:1 Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. 4:2 You gain the knowledge of the inspired expression from God by this: Every inspired expression that confesses Jesus Christ as having come in the flesh originates with God, 4:3 but every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist's (inspired expression) which YOU have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world. And before you ask me, no I am not a JW. Just someone who happened to gain access to a copy of the NWT. In His service New Creature |

Thank you very much New Creature. I already knew that you are not a JW. I have unsuccessfully searched the web for a free electronic copy of the NWT. I feel that Truthfinder's argument about the use of the word "Lord" in the place of "Jehovah" is a moot point. Since these kinds of scripture that point to the deity of Christ are present in the NWT also, then the NWT becomes a tract for the doctrine of the Trinity. I do not know whether he is ignoring this question or if he is simply taking his time to ponder it. From the NWT scripture that you quote, it is clear that even using the NWT does not take away the emphasis on "Jesus Christ"! In post ID # 88482 Truthfinder admits that the New Testament applies "Jehovah" to Jesus Christ: "And Heb. 1:8-12 reads, NWT, ” 8 But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever And Psalm 102:25 reads, NWT, 25 Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth itself, And the heavens are the work of your hands. Here the psalmist was talking about Jehovah God, but the apostle Paul applied these words to Jesus Christ as you say in Hebrews 1:10, 11 As it turns out, these words apply to Jesus, for he acted as Jehovah’s Agent in creating the universe just as Colossians 1:15, 16 tells us. So Jesus, too, could be said to have “laid the foundations of the earth.” Yes, all three were involved in creating the universe and man. (Let us..), God’s active force or holy, God’s Son and he himself. Truthfinder" New Creature, can you please post also the NWT of Acts 4:12 and John 3:18? Pastor Glenn |

Pastor Glenn; Here are the verse you requested as found in the NWT Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. (Acts 4:12 NWT) He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. (John 3:18 NWT) In His service New Creature |

Thanks again New Creature! This just goes as furthur proof that even the Watchtower and Tract Society have not fully considered the implications of the name of "Jesus Christ" to His Deity. They try to make Him out to be some angelic "agent" standing in for God. Well, an agent can be bypassed. It is clear that even in the NWT, Jesus Christ cannot be bypassed: Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. (Acts 4:12 NWT) He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. (John 3:18 NWT) |

Pastor Glenn; I use to work with a JW and we use to discuss various Bible topics. One day we somehow got talking about Enoch the 7th from Adam who was translated that he should not see death. He disagreed that was so, and asked me to prove that from Scripture so I showed him Heb. 11:5 Heb 11:5 (KJV) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Then this JW disagreed and said that I was wrong, and need to use a good translation. So I asked him to give me a copy of his NWT (Nutty Worthless Translation) which he gladly provided for me. So I looked up Heb. 11:5 in this (Nutty Worthless Translation) and here is the rendition By faith Enoch was transferred so as not to see death, and he was nowhere to be found because God had transferred him; for before his transference he had the witness that he had pleased God well. I said to the JW, see your NWT says practically the same thing. That was the last discussion we ever had. In His Service New Creature |
