Hello Kimberley

If you are looking for the Text Book God has given us it is not the NWT.

Kimberley:
Good morning. I appreciate your opinion but could you explain why you feel that way? I also have a KJV, ASV, Gideon Bible, an Amplified Bible. I love comparing all as it always proves to me the power of Jehovah to protect his word as they all have the same message. Would you explain please? Hope to hear from you.

I hope this post finds you in good health and hope that you have your mind clear to understand God's truth.
The most obvious is your mistranslation of John 1. Tell me Kimberley how does your NWT compare to the others you have. Do any of them translate John 1 even close to the way the Watchtower does?

Why do you believe that Jesus is Archangel Michael?

Kimberley:
1. I will do my best to try to be clear. Have had a stroke so please bear with me. I did not grow up a Witness but became one because what I heard in church did not match what I read in the Bible. I was taught that Jesus was the 'only begotton son of God'. He was a creation of God. God always speaks of himself as 'one'. Jehovah our God is one Jehovah in the Old Testament. Then I read at 1Tim. 2:3-5, "This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, who will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. For there is ONE God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus." one God. Jesus is a mediator. When was Jesus created? Jesus being a form of his earthly name. Proverbs 8 explains so much. Verse 22 begins, "Jehovah PRODUCED me as the beginning of his way, The earliest of his achievements of long ago...." All of chap 8 explains his relationship with his Father. That he was in a special relationship compared to all other angelic sons. v30.

Kimberley:
2. All of Pr. 8 explains his role as the archangel, his role as a master worker and his Fathers role as the architect. Gen. 1:26 makes sense when it speaks of 'our image' when read understanding Pr. 8:30-31. John1:1-3 speaks of him being "a god". Divine qualities, not human at that time. "all things came into existence THROUGH him." Notice Jesus of speaks of himself as a representative of God. At John 1:6, John the Baptist was spoken of as a representative. Jesus put it so clearly at John 7:28-29. God is a God of order, does not lie. The 'mysteries' are not mysterious at all. When he asked Peter, who was to become a great apostle, "Who do you say I am?" and he relied at Matt. 16:16, "You are the Christ, the son of the living God.", that would have been the time to make clear any confusion. At John 8:29 Jesus says "The one who SENT me is with me, he did not abandon me to myself....". I know that 2Tim 3:16 assures us that the Scriptures 'set matters straight'. I hope you continue to converse with me.
