    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    "Jesus did not have the Holy Spirit until his water baptism in which God anointed Jesus with the Spirit and empowered him." I think you are wrong related to indwelling. Concerning empower, you are corect.

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    JESUS IS JEHOVAH JWs deny that Jesus is Jehovah, maintaining instead that He is a created angel. Although the NT does not say in just so many words, "Jesus is Jehovah," in more than one place it does say that "Jesus is Lord," which is the clearest way the NT could affirm that Jesus is Jehovah...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    One possible criticism of this survey would be that it does not consider the arguments JWs would advance in defense of their controversial renderings in the NWT. In reply I must point out that to address such arguments would necessarily mean limiting the examples of mistranslation to just a few...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Similar rewordings are introduced in passages where the simple translation "spirit" or "Spirit" might imply that God's Spirit is a person, contrary to their doctrine that "holy spirit" is God's "active force." So, Jude's description of certain men as "not having the Spirit" is rendered "not...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    OMITTING WORDS The NWT also omits key words on occasion, when retaining them in the text would seem to contradict JW doctrine. The most glaring example is Romans 8:1, "Therefore those in union with Christ Jesus have no condemnation," which omits the word "now." This omission is evidently...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    ADDING WORDS In Colossians 1:16-20 the word "other" is added four times in the NWT to make it appear that Christ is part of creation. Paul is thus made to say that "all [other] things" were created in and for Christ, as if Christ were one of the created things. It is, of course, legitimate for...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    I Timothy 4:1 "The Spirit" changed to "the inspired utterance." This revision attempts to obscure the reality and activity of the Holy Spirit by representing it as a message instead of an entity. (Similar revisions found in 1 John 4:1, 3, 6 with "expression" being utilized in place of...

    A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

    Galatians 6:18 "Your spirit" changed to "the spirit YOU [show]." Similar to the I Cor. 14 revision above, this one attempts to obscure the reality of the individual human spirit by presenting it more as an attitude of action than an entity. Philippians 1:23 "To depart and be with Christ"...
