Bible Note: Greetings Pcdarcan! Not to be mean my friend, but it usually is a good idea to read the thread that you are contributing to! ;-) John 1:1, among many others, is quite clear that Jesus is God, not 'a god'. This is completely in harmony with what Jehovah said in Isaiah about there being no other 'elohim' besides Him. The JW's, since they are a cult, do not want to acknowledge that Jesus is in fact God. So, they try to make Him into a created being, a lesser god - in direct defiance to Jehovah's clear statement. Does Satan being called the 'god of this world' indicate that he is in fact a 'elohim', when Jehovah clearly said that there are no other 'elohim' besides Him? No! As I have pointed out many times, there are things that are called 'gods' that are not really gods. Consider Is. 37:19 - "They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands." Here, false gods are called 'elohim', but then in the same verse they are declared to not be 'elohim'. Why? Because, calling something a 'god' simply doesn't make it one! So, if you choose to ignore Jehovah's clear statements, that is you choice! As for me, I'll trust Him rather than the JW's. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
