Jesus, the First Creation of Jehovah?
The Watchtower Society teaches that Jesus is a creature. They do not believe He is eternal, almighty, or worthy of worship (obeisance, yes; worship, no).
Here are some very useful questions about their views:
1) Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that Jehovah directly created ONLY ONE THING, Michael the Archangel (aka Jesus), and that Michael then created all OTHER things (United in Worship, page 29)?
2) Does this not conflict with Daniel 10:13 where Michael is called “one of” the chief princes?
3) Does it not conflict with John 1:3 where it says “All things were made through him [Jesus], and without him was not ANY THING made that was made.”? Jehovah’s Witnesses do teach that Jesus (Michael) was “made.”
4) Does it not also conflict with Isaiah 44:24 where Jehovah says,
“Thus says the LORD [Jehovah], your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: I am the LORD who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself.”
5) Has not this teaching caused the Watchtower to tamper with God’s Word at Colossians 1:16-17 by adding the word “other” four times to their New World Translation so that it says “… by means of him (Jesus) all [other] things were created …”? (NWT, 1984; 2013 version removed the brackets around the addition of “other.”)
6) Does John 20:28 say in any Greek/English Interlinear that Jesus is “the God” of Thomas?
“And Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God.’”
In the Greek Thomas says in John 20:28, “Ho kurios mou kai ho theos mou.” (transliterated) “The Lord of me and the God of me.” (Kingdom Interlinear, WTB&TS; can be found on JW.org)
