One verse condems the Watchtower.

[placebofactor]

In the Watchtower's first three publications, or copywrites of the Bible, 1961, 1971, and in 1984, they claimed that they "Rendered from the Original Languages. And this was done by the New World Bible Translation Committee".

No one knows who was in this committee, nor does anyone know the qualifications of any of these people, so we will call them the unknowns. And they expect people to follow these unknowns with blind trust.

Up until 1960, the Jehovah's Witnesses used the King James Bible, but their teachings hit too many brick walls. So, they rewrote the Bible to satisfy their false doctrines. Now, from their own Bible are the words that condemn them and their organization.

New World Translation 1981 edition, Revelation 22:18, "I am bearing witness to everyone that hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll;"

Strong words for false prophets.
In their 1984 edition, they wrote in Colossians 1:16, speaking of Jesus Christ, the Son of God: "because by means of him all (other) things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones, or lordships, or governments or authorities. All (other) things have been created through him and for him."

Twice, they added in brackets the word (other), implying that Jesus was created first, and then he created all other things. Here, they were honest by acknowledging they added the word (other) twice in brackets. In their latest edition of the N.W.T., published in 2013, the Watchtower went a step further and got in the face of their God. They set aside His warning about (intentionally) adding words. In the 2013 edition, they claim, this new Bible was "Rendered from the (same) original languages." But they intentionally lied and removed the brackets from (other) and made it a part of God's original words, deceiving their own, and attempting to deceive everyone they come in contact with.

As far as I am concerned, they intend to deceive, so they change God's words into a lie, then claim to be "Holier than thou" by putting themselves back under strict rules." Don't believe me, check it out for yourself.

ALL who can understand English knows 100% through means another did it. Bible proof= False religions twist Gen 1:26= ( us)=WE, but Gen 1:27 proves 100% HE created, not WE. As does Prov 8:27-28=HE created, not us or we.

Because Jesus Christ is the Brightness of the Fathers glory, and the express image of his persson, Hebrews 1:3, = Both the Father and Son look exactly alike Hebrews 1:3, the only difference, no man has seen the Father. So the Father, and Son created the Heaven and the Earth, and then the Son was sent from heaven by the Father to finish the creation. So, Jesus (God) created man in his own image, in the image of God created him;" So man has the same shape and form of both the Father and Son. John 1:3-4, "All things (including man) were made by him (Jesus) and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Read carefully, "In him (Jesus) was life;" It was the Lord Jesus who blew the breath of life into the clay image of Adam.

Again--Isaiah 44:24--By myself i created= not an us or we--but 1, only 1 has the power and wisdom to create anything, HE did it THROUGH Jesus. Jesus did not create, he worked=Gods master worker( Prov 8:30)= the one who was beside God during creation.

There we go with that ridiculous word 'Through." If the Father did it through Jesus, then Jesus was the Creator. Another added word to confuse the scriptures, either adding or changing words in every new copyright put out by the Watchtower. "Through," a meaningless word added to compromise the true nature and person of the Son of God.

Jehovah created it all-He is the only one with the power and wisdom to create, he did it through Jesus his master worker, has 0 power to create unless God gives it to him. Same on Earth God did all the powerful works THROUGH Jesus( Acts 2:22). John 5:30 Jesus can do 0 of his own initiative.

Many say the Lords prayer over and over yet do not know what it teaches--The kingdom belongs to the Father, its all about Jesus' Fathers will.--Some bibles last line has the kingdom, power and glory=all the Fathers.

Isaiah the prophet said, not the Watchtower said, the Son of God is "our everlasting Father, and the government of the Kingdom is on his shoulders, and he will be the Counselor in his Kingdom because he is the mighty God, and the Prince of Peace.

It's the Kingdom of God (Jehovah). Ephesians 5:5, "Who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

The thief on the cross said to Jesus with his dying breath, "Luke 23:42, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." But the Watchtower things the thief must have been out of his mind to say that.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit created it all. Jesus, the Word, spoke, and the Holy Spirit moved on into action on his words. They created the heavens and the earth because the Father sent them, and the Watchtower doesn't like it!

Jesus is the LIFE AND LIGHT of the world, he blew the breath of life into Adam, and when Adam opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was his Creator, the Son of God.

Isaiah said his NAME will be called those things.

Isaiah said his NAME will be called those things.

I know the Watchtower does not like this verse in Matthew 1:23, "They shall call his (Jesus') name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Imagine that! Jesus is God with us.

God was with Jesus = with us as well while Jesus was on Earth and now for the true followers. Acts 10:38--God was with Jesus)--God did all the powerful works through Jesus( Acts 2:22)--Jesus can do 0 of his own(John 5:30)

His name; Jesus name, not the Father's name. His name is Immanuel, which means, with us is God, or God with us. The verse is speaking of Jesus, not the Father being with us, but Jesus, who is God. When I was born, my name was Phillip, my name means lover of horses. That was my name, not my father's. I love the way the Witnesses twist the meaning of verses.
