The Trinity/Binity, Part 13: Definitive Proof That Jesus Is Not God

Now that you have had a thorough view of how the claim that Jesus is God falls far short of substantiated proof, (and in some cases proving exactly the opposite when the fog is lifted from the verse,) let us look at verses that make it clear, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus is most certainly not God. Verses that require no explanation, no ignoring the body of the Scriptures, no exploiting ambiguities, no contortions, verbal accrobatics or fiddling with the text and no making up non-existent rules of grammar to prove some false doctrine. Lots of verses. GOD HAS NEVER BEEN A MAN THAT DWELLS ON EARTH BEFORE JESUS Numbers 23:19 [ pa | in ] God is not a mere man who tells lies, nor a son of man who changes his mind. 1 Kings 8:27 [ pa | in ] But will God really dwell on the earth? Look! The heavens, yes, the heaven of the heavens, cannot contain you ; how much less, then, this house that I have built! Job 9:32 [ pa | in ] For [God] is not a man like me that I may a...

The Trinity/Binity, Part 15: Definitive Proof That Holy Spirit Is Not a Distinct Personage

Missing Where It Would Be Expected The holy spirit lacks any significant mention in relationship with Jesus' and the Father. At  Matthew 24:36   [ pa | in ]  Jesus said, "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." Where is the mention of the holy spirit here? Nobody else knows the day and hour, but "only the Father", and it mentions the Son, but why did Jesus not specify the holy spirit? Does it know or does it not? Well, nobody knows but the Father. Thus, only the Father is God. Holy spirit does not appear as a personage on or near the throne of God along with the lamb in heaven in the Revelation. ( Revelation 5:6 , 13   [ pa | in ] ; 6:16   [ pa | in ] ; 7:9, 10   [ pa | in ] , 17   [ pa | in ] ; 22:1   [ pa | in ] ) In fact, at Acts 7:55-56   [ pa | in ] , Stephen also observed Jesus at God's right hand, but again, no third figure. All he saw was Jesus sitting at th...

The Trinity/Binity, Part 3: What Do Jehovah's Witnesses Believe About God And Jesus?

As a result of careful study by the early Bible Students in the 19th century, Jehovah’s Witnesses, as the Bible Students became known in 1931, believe that the Scriptures contain all the means of learning the truth essential to salvation. ( Joh 18:37 [ pa | in ] ; 1Ti 2:3-6 [ pa | in ] ; 2Ti 3:16-17 [ pa | in ] ) As such, they learned from the Scriptures alone that Jesus is not God, but has a divine origin in heaven, a created being, having been known as "the power of God and the wisdom of God", ( Pr 8:12 [ pa | in ] ; 22-31 [ pa | in ] ; 1Co 1:24 [ pa | in ] ) through whom God made all things ( Joh 1:3 [ pa | in ] ; Col 1:15, 16 [ pa | in ] ). We believe that he served the only true God, Jehovah ( Ex 3:15 [ pa | in ] ; Joh 17:3 [ pa | in ] ) as the archangel Michael. (See the heading Evidence that Jesus Is the Archangel below.) He "emptied himself", ( Php 2:5-7 [ pa | in ] ) abdicating all his power and authority as an archangel, and God set that one’s...
