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.

Post #821You could always just make and support your own claims rather than play Socrates. If your argument is strong enough, that should be enough, right?JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Sat May 03, 2025 4:12 pmThis is very confusing to me... what point can you possibly be making by presenting the Greek for the adjective when the word in the definition was a noun.
My pronouns are he, him, and his.

Post #822My claim is that the word in the definition is a noun not an adjective.
