Did Jesus Have a “Beginning”?

“And unto the angel of the church of Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, …”
—Revelation 3:14

Jehovah’s Witnesses use this text to ‘prove’ that Jesus had a beginning. This is a gross misreading of the text. Other verses the Witnesses will resort to include Proverbs 8:22, John 14:28 and Colossians 1:15-16.

There are two ways the Witnesses should be answered on this text.

NWT* Bible Passages to Ponder: Rom. 8:26-27

Romans 8:26-27

What are the two activities of the “holy spirit” in this passage? Does this strike you as the activity of an impersonal force much like electricity?

NWT* Bible Passages to Ponder: 2 Cor. 12:1b-4

2 Corinthians 12:1b-4 (NWT)

If a person cannot exist outside of the body, why did Paul not know whether he was transported to paradise in his body or out of it?

We welcome comments.

Did Jehovah Only Create One Thing, Jesus?

I wrote a tract decades ago with questions for Jehovah’s Witnesses. They are completely unanswerable within the Watchtower’s doctrinal beliefs.

You can ask these questions of a Jehovah’s Witness and your conversation can end there. He will give you words back but those words will be a dodge, an answer that misses the point of the question or an offer to get back to you later.

It doesn’t matter at this point because now the question is planted in his mind and he will need an answer for himself.

The BAD Bible

In their past, the Watchtower Society has published the King James Version and the American Standard Version. These are highly regarded translations.

But these translations put the Watchtower in the position of defending their false doctrines using these translations that actually refuted Watchtower doctrine. Thus, beginning in 1950, the Watchtower began publishing their own Bible, The New World Translation.

Why I Cannot Be a Jehovah’ Witness: Their False Bible, Reason #1

Approximately one-third of the New Testament is written against error, either to warn believers about false teachers, or to answer their false doctrines. And, all but one book of the New Testament contains some warning or admonition against heresy. The reason is simple: it really does matter what a person believes.

… The New World Translation is a mistranslation of the Scriptures. It has been changed in key places to promote the doctrines of the Watchtower Society. Revelation 22:18-19 condemns such adding to, or, taking away from what God has said to us.
