Questions about Jesus and JW’s

Post #1

Post by MissKate13 »

1. Jehovah’s Witnesses say Jesus was “a god.” This is how the NWT reads (John 1:1).

Do JW’s believe Jesus was a true or false god?

2. JW’s say Jesus is a created being.

When was Jesus (capital or lower case g) created?

I look forward to your responses to one or both questions.

You could always just make and support your own claims rather than play Socrates. If your argument is strong enough, that should be enough, right?
My pronouns are he, him, and his.

My claim is that the word in the definition is a noun not an adjective. I supported said claim with evidence from a dictionary.

I don't think anybody's disagreed with that, so instead of asking everyone else what you mean, just tell us yourself.

You may have your definition from dictionary, while mine from Bible lexicon. I did have present mine, you should present yours why mine cannot be where as for me it supports my point.
