Subject: Proverbs 3:5 |
Bible Note: Brad, Jehovah's Witness do not believe Jesus was created by God. They believe John 1:1 is speaking of Jesus, however they translate "the Word was God" as "the Word was a god". But at the same time they believe there is only one true God. The way they resolve this is they say Jesus was an angle and went back to Heaven as an angle. But they recognize all power and authority of Jesus as Lord of Lord, King of Kings, savior, the only way to eternal life. We know that the definition of angle is messenger, so they are not speaking heresy from that stand point, but just as illogical as calling him a god. A lot of their beliefs rely on a lot of illogical conclusions. They violate the rules of logic, in other words, they accept a lot of assumptions as fact, while these assumptions contradict or ignore clear understanding of other scripture. No I am not a Jehovah's Witness, but I did study with with a well educated one for over six months. We went through their Bible Teach publication. It forced me to dig into scripture to confirm or deny their claims. For some I agree with, others are a possibility but not definitive, but most are in contradiction to clear scripture. Their core beliefs are Christian and therefore I believe they are saved by grace through faith. |
