The vast majority of Christian churches teach variations of the Trinity doctrine and they teach that God is one. Many state in their church creed or statement of beliefs that God is, “Father, Son and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons”. Most Christians believe that Jesus has no origin and some will identify Jesus as, “God the Son”. On the other hand, Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that God is one and He has a, “created son”. They teach that after Jesus was created by God, all “other” things were created through Jesus. Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that the holy spirit is, “God’s active force”. Jehovah’s Witnesses once taught that Jesus has a Divine nature and should be worshiped. However, since the 1950’s Jehovah’s Witnesses reject any notion that Jesus may have a Divine nature and they also adamantly teach that Jesus should not be worshiped. What Does the Bible say? This is part 1 of a Bible series I did in my local community in September of 2024. In this lecture I do my best to determine what the Bible says as to the Father and His Son. In this video I also address the nature of Jesus according to the Bible. I will follow this video with Part 2 in this series – a lecture entitled, “What Did Jesus Say About The Holy Spirit?”
About Me
I was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness (JW) along with my wife in May of 1996. I progressed very quickly through the ranks of the JW organization becoming a Ministerial servant (Deacon) then an elder which in the JW organization is equivalent to a Pastor in many other churches. I received an official certificate of Ordination from the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society in May of 2004. This is something which most JW's never actually receive, including the elders. (At that time I think any JW could ask for the ordination confirmation paper)
Because of my zeal for the ministry and Bible study, I had the privilege of being used extensively. I was a Ministry School Overseer, Service Overseer & Book study Overseer simultaneously. I gave many talks (sermons) throughout Virginia, West Virginia and a couple in North Carolina. I also gave talks at large assemblies and spent many hours each month in the door to door ministry. I have served on several Judicial appeals committees. I resigned as an elder and immediately stopped going to the meetings in the Spring of 2006. As of November 2009 I am no longer associated with the JW's.
I truly love and respect many in the JW organization. For this reason, I DO NOT and WILL NOT slander my Christian JW brothers. While I believe that they are misled in several areas, I also believe they are serving God and Jesus with a sincere heart. (Acts 17:30)
