Bible Note: Greetings Ray! I disagree my friend! The JW's reject the true nature of Christ, so the first step in opening their eyes to the truth is to focus on Christ's true nature. Satan does not want them to know who Christ really is, thus he deceives them into beliving that Jesus is 'a god', not Jehovah Himself. There are many things that people call 'gods', but God is quite clear that there is no other god but Him. I can take some wood, shape it into an idol, worship it, and call it my god - but it remains a piece of wood! :-) Isaiah does not say, 'There are no other Gods but me'! It says, 'I am 'elohim' and there are no other 'elohim' besides Me! If we allow them to continue to evade and twist this simple truth, they we will never come to know Christ for who He really is! Now, I agree that Scripture is also quite clear that there is no other Savior but Jehovah. Scripture is also clear that there is no other Creator but Jehovah. But, we have to remain focused on a single point before moving on to other truths. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
