The Bible vs. The Watchtower

The Watchtower Organization claims that Jesus Christ is nothing more than a created thing. I know, because I was a member for over 18 years. That said, is that true … is it true that Christ was only an angel created by God The Father?

In the Gospel of John, Chapter 1 verse 1, it reads: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 tells us who the Word (God) became: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

We find in the book of John, Chapter 8 verse 58, who Jesus Christ claimed to be. It reads: “Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'” Jesus Christ identifies who He is, and who was that? In Exodus, Chapter 3 verse 14, it becomes very clear who He was claiming to be … “And God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’; and He said, ‘Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you.”‘”

According to the Bible, Jesus Christ claimed to be God (I AM) and the Jews understood exactly what He was saying, because they then attempted to stone Him for blasphemy. That can be read in John, Chapter 10 verses 30-33.

Whether or not people believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh does not alter the fact that He was. The Bible is very clear on this point. The question, however, that needs to be addressed is why Watchtower members accept their leadership’s (the Watchtower Organization’s) teachings … i.e., that Christ was nothing more than an angel created by God The Father?

To understand why Jehovah’s Witnesses follow Watchtower leadership over biblical scripture, one must understand the Watchtower position on who they claim to be and represent. Once that is established and the truth of the matter becomes known, one can understand why members hang on to Watchtower theology so tenaciously.

This brings us to why I wrote my book — “The Bible vs The Watchtower (The Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Authority) You Decide …”  In it, you will discover why Watchtower members cling to every word they teach.  But first, read my mission statement (link below) to find out why I wrote the book.
