No excuses, Jesus is God.
We are gonna deal with these Trinity-Proof texts, one by one....using Jehovah's Witnesses (JW's) own New World's Translation, while I use the New King James Version (NKJV)...and we are gonna expose their faulty NWT, as needed.
For this thread, we will examine the following three books and verses..
Isa 40:3 – Mark 1:1-8 – Malachi 3:1
Lets begin with Isa 40:3..
Now, as you can see, in comparison, both the NKJV and the NWT reads the same.Isa 40:3
NKJV Isa 40:3 ”The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God.
NWT Isa 40:3 A voice of one calling out in the wilderness: “Clear up* the way of Jehovah! Make a straight highway through the desert for our God.
It is commanded that a clear path is made for God (Lord, Jehovah), because he is coming through!!
Ok, now, lets look at Malachi 3:1..
Virtually the same message, the Lord is coming...and the path is being cleared for him.NKJV Mal 3:1 “Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,” Says the Lord of hosts.
NWT Mal 3:1 “Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will clear up* a way before me. And suddenly the true Lord, whom you are seeking, will come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant will come, in whom you take delight. Look! He will certainly come,” says Jehovah of armies.
The significance? This is a prophecy of the coming of Jesus....and this messenger who clears the path for him, is John the Baptist.
How do we know?
Because, in Mark 1:1-8...
The implication is simple, Jesus is God.1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in [a]the Prophets:
“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.”
3 “The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 7 And he preached, saying, “There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. 8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
Even in JW's own NWT Bible, it is said that the path (Isa 40:3) is being made clear for Jehovah/God.
The author of Mark connects the subject of the cleared path in the book of Isaiah (who is identified as Jehovah/God), to the subject of the path in his own book (who is identified as Jesus).
This is irrefutable evidence of the fact that; Jesus is God.
Anyone who has beef with this, let me know.
