   Jesus Divine.   
      
   From the NWT online   
   14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his   
   glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he   
   was full of divine favor and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, yes,   
   he cried out: “This was the one of whom I said, ‘The one coming behind me   
   has advanced in front of me, for he existed before me.’”) 16 For we all   
   received from his fullness, even undeserved kindness upon undeserved   
   kindness.17 Because the Law was given through Moses, the undeserved   
   kindness and the truth came to be through Jesus Christ. 18 No man has seen   
   God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the   
   one who has explained Him.   
      
   And look at verse 15 where JtB declared that Jesus existed before he was ever   
   born. And V 18 Where it says that no man has seen God at any time, except   
   Jesus who is in the bosom of the Father. They did their best to morph the   
   scriptures to fit yet remain seemingly plausible. Yet the full truth is still   
   there hidden amongst their lies.   
      
   Who created this earth and all that was in it, as well as the Sun Moon, and   
   stars? How does the NWT compare with the true scripture that states that   
   Jesus was the creator?

   God the Father proclaimed Loudly to the ears of all men around Jesus, on   
   several occasions, “This is My Son in whom I am well pleased”. Also,...   
   Luk 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved   
   Son: hear him.   
      
   How about taking the advice of his Heavenly Father?

   Incorrect show the scripture that says that Jehovah was the Heavenly Father.   
      
   Then try and explain “the Ancient One” in the OT   
   >   
   >   
   > “The Son” is Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us. (Romans 6:23)   
   > We cannot gain salvation unless we recognize and appreciate Jesus’ key   
   > role in God’s purpose for mankind.—John 14:6; 20:31; Acts 4:8-12.   
      
   You have not that capability. You are no better than Ghandi in that regard.   
      
   >   
   >   
   > “The holy spirit” is God’s active force, or his power in action. d God

   > (Genesis 1:2; Job 33:4; Romans 15:18, 19) God also used holy spirit to   
   > inspire the Bible writers to record his thoughts.—2 Peter 1:21."   
      
   The Holy Spirit is the "other comforter” One who is just like Jesus.   
      
   Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another   
   Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;   
      
   Jhn 14:17 Eventhe Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it   
   seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with   
   you, and shall be in you.   
      
   Jhn 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
