Jehovah’s Witnesses witness for Satan, not Jehovah. They reject God in rejecting the godhead, also known as the divine nature and trinity, a non-biblical term from the late middle ages. God is three non-autonomous persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. On the Apologetics Press website dated October, 2015 (accessed November 27, 2023), Kyle Butt provided a condensed definition: “…One God in the Bible exists simultaneously in three personalities—the Father, the Son and [the] Holy Spirit—each one partaking of the Divine nature.” JWs on the other hand teach the Father, Jehovah, alone is divine. Jesus was created. The Holy Spirit is a thing—God’s active force.” Let’s take a break to select subscribe, the thumbs up icon and notification bell.

Ecclesiastes 1 says “There is nothing new under the sun.” Similar errors arose during the apostles’ lifetimes, so many passages address JW antichrist errors (1 John 4:3). If the JW’s were a Major League Baseball team, they would quickly strike out.
STRIKE 1: JW’s teach only Jehovah is divine; yet God describes himself as plural. Genesis. 1:26 declares, “…God said, “Let Us make man in Our image.” The Hebrew Old Testament says God is also “Elohim,” The i and m at the end make it plural. God wanted man to fill the earth. Genesis 11:7 says, “Let us… confuse their language….”
Strike 2: Jehovah’s Witnesses cite Colossians 1:15 as proof h is created “He is the… the first-born of all creation.” Yet the next verse says, “For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities…” (Col. 1:16). No book, especially an inspired one, would contradicts itself in two sentences. Verse 15 cannot mean Christ was created. Jesus could not have been created if he created everything, as the next verse says, Some view the passage saying the first born in a Biblical family had enormous privileges, and Christ first born has the privilege of creating everything. Others hold Romans 8:29, which says “the first-born among many brethren…” and explains verse 15 this way: Jesus is the first born from the dead meaning he is the first to be raised never to die again. Thomas touched Jesus and exclaimed, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28).
According to John 8:58, Jesus’s name is the same as God’s at the burning bush, “I am.” John 1:1, 14 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Philippians. 2:6-7 declares, “Although He existed in the form of God, he did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant….” 1 John1:1 says of Jesus, “…Which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled.”
Strike 3: JW’s teach the Holy Spirit is not a person. An article at Watchtower Online is entitled Why the Holy Spirit is Not a Person (accessed November 16, 2023). Isaiah 63:10 says wayward Israelites “…grieved His Holy Spirit….” Persons, not things, can be grieved. Matthew 12:32 says “Whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.” At the last supper Christ promised when he left, the Spirit would come. John 14:16, 26 says:
The Father…will give you another Helper… that is thee Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him…The …Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, HE will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
Things can’t talk, but the Holy Spirit talks. Acts 8:29 says, “…the Spirit said to Philip, “Go up and join this chariot.” When Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit, he lied to God. Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit? You have not lied to man but to God” (Acts 5:3-4). When Russell decided everyone was out of step but him, did he consider he might not understand? Did he consider Isiah 55?
For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Conclusion
A pyramid originally covered Charles Taze Russell’s tomb. An online article, What is the Spiritual Meaning of a Pyramid? (updated September 24,2023 says Pyramids “serve as enduring symbols of … self-awareness, transcending…religious boundaries.” JW’s are not Christians.
