Jesus is Jehovah God in the New World Translation: Updated

In encountering a Jehovah’s Witness today, I asked him a few simple questions that we were both able to agree on. First I wanted to know if he agreed with me that Jehovah God was immutable, and that He does not change. When the JW agreed that Jehovah God is in fact, immutable, I than asked…

Isaiah 43:10 and the Full Deity of Jesus

You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. (Isaiah 43:10, ESV) The above citation of Isaiah 43:10 is where the Jehovah’s Witnesses get…

The Inconsistent Richard Dawkins

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.” – Romans 1:18 Richard Dawkins has once again shown that high intelligence does not transfer into the ability to understand fundamental truths about ones worldview. In a recent interview, where he explained…

Mr. Mormon, Please Know That You Have No Good Works

Today in class, I took the students over the doctrines of the LDS church. One of the area’s we focused on was the LDS teachings of works righteousness and how being a “good Mormon” equals works of righteousness.

Pliny the Younger, Trajan and Jesus as God

It is often proclaimed by Jehovah’s Witnesses and skeptics alike that the deity of Jesus was fabricated at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325. This is truly a foolish statement that is unfounded historically and amounts to little more than “sound bite criticism.” Posted below is a letter from Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan.…

Objective Morals Equal The Christian God

Here is a good video from J.P. Moreland on objective morality. The only “knock” I have on this video is the underlying methodology that is behind Morelands approach. Without the proper presuppositional understanding being injected into the argument (the Christian Theistic worldview),  the argument is reduced to an argument for “general theism,” rather than Christian Theism.…

Early Trinitarian Quotes

It is often proclaimed that the Doctrine of the Trinity was created at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325. This is a totally fallacious claim. Please note a small selection of Trinitarian quotes from the Ante-Nicene fathers. “Do we not have one God and one Christ? Is there not one spirit of Grace poured…

The Errors of the New World Translation

Here is an excellent article concerning the Jehovah’s Witnesses “New World Translation.” It has been known for some time that the Watchtower “shaped” their translation to fit their Arian belief system. What follows are ‘some’ of the mistranslations of the NWT. I hope this proves helpful.   IS THE JEHOVAH’S WITNESS BIBLE, THE NEW WORLD…

Bruce Metzger and the Jehovah’s Witnesses

One of finest Greek Scholars of the 20th century was Princeton Seminary professor Dr. Bruce Metzger. In the link found HERE, Dr. Metzger evaluates the Jehovah’s Witnesses understanding of Jesus, the Trinity and he takes a brief yet critical look at the  New World Translation, the Jehovah Witnesses translation of the Scriptures. I have found Metzger’s…
