"By this I mean that they deny that Jesus Christ was Jehovah God, manifested in the flesh. They claim that He was a created being. They refer to Him in John 1:1 of their ridiculously dishonest and unscholarly translation of the Bible, "The New World Tranlation", as 'a god'. (note the small g).
..."In Rev. 1:7,8 and Rev. 22:13, Jesus is shown to posses the attribute of eternal self-existence that Isaiah 41:4, 44:6, 48:12 clearly teach is an attribute belonging exclusively to Jehovah God, In Phil. 2:9-11, the worship that Paul said belonged to Jesus Christ was exactly the same worship that Isaiah 45:22-25 said belonged exclusively to Jehovah. Many acts that Jehovah of the old testament declared He would do, Christ did and declared His acts to be the fulfillment of those prophecies. Compare Isaiah 44:22,23 which declares Jehovah to be the redeemer, to Eph. 1:7 which declares Jesus Christ to be the redeemer. Compare Isaiah 54:17 which declares Jehovah to be our righteousness, to 1Cor. 1:30 which says Jesus Christ is our righteousness. Compare Isaiah 43:11 which teaches that only Jehovah is the Savior of man, to Titus 2:13 which says so plainly that Jesus Christ is that Savior. Col. 2:9,10 declares that "in Him dwelleth ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily", and that we are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power. "Jehovah's witnesses" deny this. Friend, this denial makes them not just 'mislead Christians', but salesmen for the serpent, ambassadors for Satan, enimies of Christ, and the finished work ofHis cross.
"They claim that hell is the grave and that the wicked dead definetly do not go into literal and eternal fire to suffer forever. I must admit that I cannot blame them for wishing this were so. I did when I was lost. Scripture, however, is the criteria for truth and not human preference. What does the Bible teach? It teaches that the wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God (Psa. 9:17) If hell were only the grave as the "Jehovah's Witnesses" teach, how could a difference be made here between the wicked and the righteous, for the righteous also go to the grave. The "Jehovah's Witnesses" beguile with much unlearned talk about translation, pointing out that hell is translated from such words as sheol in the Old Testament and hades, Tartarus and Gehenna in the New Testament. They..."claim that these words mean either grave or some temporal fire and never eternal punishment..." "Not one single time in any of these words which are translated hell in the Bible, also translated grave when speaking of a sepulchre, a hole in the ground or any resting place of the physical body, but only when referring to the state of death. There were physical graves in the Bible, but they were not one single time referred to by the hebrew word sheol or the greek word hades. So all their "scholarly talk" about translation is only a smoke screen of the devil to divert attention from the bible doctrine of eternal punishment
Certainly nothing would please Satan more than to persuade the world to 'eat, drink and be merry, for tommarrow we die and there is no punishment in the hereafter.' he has sent his salesmen around the world and so convincing to the natural mind is their 'sales-pitch,' that only God's word, rightly divided, can silence their vile mouths.
..."We could easily go on to establish with equal certainty that "Jehovah's Witnesses" promote equally Satanic, unscriptural doctrines on the subject of Christ's return,... the Holy Spirit, the creation, the blood atonement, the nature of human blood, the scriptures, heaven,...salvation, ect, ect, ect. They, in fact, with all there volumes and masses of pamphlets deal with, or should I say mislead with, less then 7% of the entire Bible. Just try to find a verse by verse exposition on any book of the Bible written by the "Jehovah's Witnesses." You will not find it.
