Jesus claimed to be God (Jn. 5:17-18; 8:58-59; 10:30-33)and he accepted worship (Mt. 2:11; 8:2; 9:18; 14:33;15:25; 20:20; 28:9,17). If Jesus were not God He couldnot receive worship (Ex. 20:3-5; 34:10; Is. 42:8; Mt.4:10).The New Testament writers said Jesus Christ is God (Jn.1:1; 10:36; Ph. 2:6; Col. 1:15; 2:9; 1 Ti. 1:15-17; 3:16;6:14-16; He. 1:3; Tit. 2:13; 1 Jn. 3:16).God the Father calls the Son God and the Son calls theFather God (compare Hebrews 1:8-9 and Psalm 45). Thisis the mystery of the Trinity. Though we do not fullyunderstand it, we believe it because it is the teaching ofScripture.Isaiah 43:10 says Jehovah God did not form another Godand Deuteronomy 32:39 says there is no god withJehovah God. Thus, the JW teaching that Jesus is “agod” (New World Translation rendering of John 1:1)cannot be true.Compare Isaiah 9:6 with Isaiah 10:21. JWs say Jesus wasthe “mighty God” but not the Almighty God, but Isaiah10:21 calls Jehovah God the “mighty God.” (See also Ps.50:1; 132:2, 5; Jer. 32:18; Hab. 1:12.)26
Compare Isaiah 43:7 with Colossians 1:16. If everythingwas created for Jehovah God’s glory, why doesColossians 1:16 say that everything was created forJesus?It was God who was pierced on the cross (Zech. 12:10)and His blood that was shed (Acts 20:28).2. Jesus Christ had no beginning (Micah 5:2; Col. 1:17;1 John 1:2).3. Jesus Christ created ALL things (Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:16).4. Jesus Christ rose bodily (Lk. 24:36-43; Jn. 2:18-21;20:26-27).5. Jesus Christ is a man after His resurrection (Acts17:31; 1 Tim. 2:5).About the Holy SpiritAccording to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Holy Spirit isnot a person but is a force like electricity (TheWatchtower, Sept. 15, 1992, p. 16).WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES27
