" Jehovah's Witnesses and the Deity of Christ:

1 ".. the true Scriptures speak of God's Son, the Word as 'a god.' He is a 'mighty god,' but not the Almighty God, who is Jehovah" (Taken from the Truth Shall Make You Free).

2) "In other words, he was the first and direct creation of Jehovah God" (The Kingdom Is At Hand, Brooklyn; Watchtower Bible and Tract Society 1944, p.46 - 49).

3) "Thus Jesus had an existence in heaven before coming to the earth. But was it one of the person an almighty, eternal triune Godhead? No, for the Bible plainly states that in his existence, Jesus was a created Spirit being, just as angels were spirit beings created by God. Neither the angels nor Jesus existed before creation (Should You Believe in the Trinity?).

4) "The Bible shows that there is only one God.. 'greater than His Son' .. And that the Son, as the First-born, Only begotten and the 'creation by God,' had a beginning. That the Father is greater and older than the Son is reasonable, easy to understand and is what the Bible teaches" (From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained, Brooklyn; Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, 1958 p. 164).

5. ".. Jesus was the 'Son of God' Not God himself!" (The Word" Who Is He?, p.20).

6."The very fact that he was proves he was not equal with God but was less than God his Father" ("The Word," Who Is He?, p. 41).

7) "Certainly the apostle John was not so unreasonable as to say that someone ['the Word'] was with some other individual ('God') and at the same time was the other individual ('God')" ("The Word," Who Is He?" p.53) "The deity of Christ is jugular vein which the cults go after zealously. In their New World Translation Jesus is stripped of His role as Almighty God and conforms to the teachings of the Charles Taze Russell [Freemason]. (42)

We are not immune to Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons. Only if we know the Scriptures thoroughly, intimately do we have a defense against these lies.( Midnight Call Magazine, June 2001 pp. 26, 27)
