Why don’t you elaborate on the cultic beliefs
of Jehovah’s Witnesses more fully? Tell us what
else you believe of Jesus Christ.

Do you agree with this statement:

“JW’s believe that Jesus Christ was a perfect man, and that He is a person distinct from God the Father. However, they also teach that before His earthly life, Jesus was a spirit creature, Michael the archangel, who was created by God and became the Messiah at His baptism. According to Jehovah’s Witnesses, Jesus is a mighty one, although not almighty as Jehovah God is. According to John 1:1 in their Bible, The New World Translation, Christ is “a god,” but not “the God.” They teach that Jesus “was and is and always will be beneath Jehovah” and that “Christ and God are not coequal”.

If not, where do you disagree?

"According to John 1:1 in their Bible, The New World Translation, Christ is “a god,” but not “the God.”

Actually, I have the New World Translation right here. This is exactly what John 1:1 states....

In (the) beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God , and the Word was a god....

Now John 1:2-3.....

This one was in (the) beginning with God. All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.

If you have the New World Translation there with you, could you tell me in which Book, chapter and verse, it states they believe Christ was Michael?

Gollies...

All the versions of the Christian Bible say that the Word was God...

Whatever the JWs are reading, it is not the Christian Bible...

Jesus is God...always has been always will be...

Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever .. Hebrews 13:8
