DOES JW BIBLE (New World Translation) CONTRADICT ITSELF CLAIMING JESUS IS GOD AND NOT “MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL”?


JESUS IS CALLED “THE TRUE GOD”

1 John 5:20 KJV ...even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life

1 John 5:20 JW (New World Translation) ...by means of his Son Jesus Christ. This is “THE TRUE GOD” and life everlasting.


JESUS IS CALLED “GOD... THE ALMIGHTY” AND “MIGHTY GOD”

Rev 1:7-8 KJV Behold, he cometh with clouds ...and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega... saith the Lord... the Almighty.

Isa 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born... his name shall be called...The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace

Rev 1:7-8 JW (New World Translation) Look! He is coming with the clouds,... and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him. Yes, Amen.“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says Jehovah “GOD...THE ALMIGHTY”

Isa 9:6 JW (New World Translation) For a child has been born... His name will be called... “MIGHTY GOD,” Eternal Father, Prince of Peace


JESUS IS CREATOR NOT CREATED

John 1:2-3 KJV The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John 1:2-3 JW (New World Translation) 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.


JESUS IS CALLLED “OUR SAVIOR GOD”

1 Timothy 2:3 KJV For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior

1 Timothy 2:3 JW (New World Translation) This is fine and acceptable in the sight of OUR SAVIOR, GOD”


JESUS IS CALLED “JEHOVAH” WHICH THEY ONLY USE FOR GOD THE FATHER *BIBLE SAMPLE GIVEN FOR JESUS AS JEHOVAH IS ISA 12:2

Isa 12:2 KJV Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Rom 10:9, 12-13 JW (New World Translation) For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord… you will be saved… There is the same Lord... all those calling on him for everyone who calls on the name of “JEHOVAH“ will be saved.

Rev 1:7-8 JW (New World Translation) Look! He is coming with the clouds,... and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him. Yes, Amen.“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” SAYS JEHOVAH GOD...”


JESUS CLAIMED TO BE GODS HOLY SON AND MESSIAH

Mark 14:61-2 KJV ...Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am...

Mark 14:61-2 JW (New World Translation) ...the high priest began to question him and said to him: “Are you the Christ the Son of the Blessed One? Then Jesus said: “I am...”


John 10:30 KJV “I and my Father are one”

John 17:11 KJV “Holy Father, keep...those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are”

John 10:30 JW (New World Translation) I and the Father are one

John 17:11 JW (New World Translation) Holy Father watch over them...which you have given me, so they may be one as we are one


Psalm 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods” DOES NOT MEAN ALL HUMANS ARE GODS. JESUS REFERENCED THIS VERSE TO HIMSELF. GOD AS MAN IS REDEMPTIOM, MAN (OR ANGEL) AS GOD IS BLASPHEMY

Psa 82:6 KJV I have said, Ye are gods

John 10:34&38 KJV Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Hos 11:9 KJV ...for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee:

Num 23:19 KJV God is not a man...

Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD... beside me there is no God

A former JW’s website C. T. Russell, JW founder, said Christians “are divine beings -- hence all such are Gods, thus we have a family of God....in the resurrection we will rise in our true character as Gods” para 6 reference #9
*Note -The doctrine of “we are Gods” is popular among the cults and nullifies any need for Jesus as Savior. It still crops up among Jehovah's Witnesses but “officially”, they now believe Jehovah God, the Father, is the only God. Jesus, is not God or equal to Jehovah but the first created being, i.e., Michael the Archangel.


JESUS PLAINLY THOUGHT HE WAS EQUAL TO GOD

Php 2:6 KJV Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God
