John 1:1 says “the word was a god.”Colossians 1:15-17 the JW Bible adds the word “other”four times — i.e., “for by him were all [other] thingscreated…”In Hebrews 1:8 the JW Bible changes “Thy throne, OGod” to “God is your throne.”In Zechariah 12:10, the JW Bible changes “they shalllook upon me whom they have pierced” to “they shalllook upon the one they have pierced,” because they don’twant to admit that Jehovah God died on the cross.Prior to the publication of their own English translationin 1961, the Jehovah’s Witnesses published the AmericanStandard Version (ASV).

HenryThayer (who was secretary of the New TestamentCommittee), held the same view of Christ as theJehovah’s Witnesses. And the critical Greek textunderlying the ASV weakened key passages touchingChrist’s deity. A footnote at John 9:38, where the manworshipped Christ, says, “The Greek word denotes an actof reverence, whether paid to a creature (AS HERE) or to34
the Creator...” This is from an edition of the AmericanStandard Version printed by the Watchtower Bible andTract Society in about 1929. The Jehovah’s Witnessesalso published the Westcott-Hort Greek New Testament.WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES1. The believer has the Holy Spirit as his Teacher and isnot dependent upon man (1 Jn. 2:20-27).2.
