The butchering of John 1:1 by JW anti-Trinitarian Translators

Your translation does not read godlike

and can you explain why your translation had to add the word son

Act 20:28(NWT) Pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the holy spirit has appointed YOU overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God, which he purchased with the blood of his own [Son].
Its fact-John 3:16 backs it as fact.
 
Through Jesus

Heb 1:8(NWT) But with reference to the Son: "God is your throne forever and ever, and [the] scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.
Heb 1:9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with [the] oil of exultation more than your partners."
Heb 1:10 And: "You at [the] beginning, O Lord, laid the foundations of the earth itself, and the heavens are [the] works of your hands.


BTW who is Lord here?

and in the original reference?

Psa 102:21 (NWT) For the name of Jehovah to be declared in Zion And his praise in Jerusalem,
Psa 102:22 When the peoples are collected all together, And the kingdoms to serve Jehovah.
Psa 102:23 On the way he afflicted my power, He cut short my days.
Psa 102:24 I proceeded to say: "O my God, Do not take me off at the half of my days; Your years are throughout all generations.
Psa 102:25 Long ago you laid the foundations of the earth itself, And the heavens are the work of your hands.
Psa 102:26 They themselves will perish, but you yourself will keep standing; And just like a garment they will all of them wear out. Just like clothing you will replace them, and they will finish their turn.
Psa 102:27 But you are the same, and your own years will not be completed.
Psa 102:28 The sons of your servants will continue residing; And before you their own offspring will be firmly established."
1:10 can be Jesus he is Gods master worker. What about verse 9? Its about Jesus-You loved righteousness and hated wickedness, that is why God, your God anointed you with the oil of exultatation more than your partners,( fellows) a quote of Psalm 45:7--The Fellows= angels. All angels have a God.
 
Its simple enough. Any can understand it.
Is there a tongues translator in the house who can translate the following into English:
Satan is called Theos=god at 2 Cor 4:4 While the true God is called Ho Theos=God--same at John 1:1, the Word is called Theos, the True God is called Ho Theos, Why? There is only 1 reason possible--Ho Theos=God--Theos in the same paragraph = god. One cannot translate 2 different paragraphs different. Its the whole reason the Word is not called the same thing as the true God =0 doubt in all creation.
 
They have to define it like that. Truth proves they are false religions. They cannot teach truth on the matter. ALL creation occurred at the beginning=100% fact, Jesus is the firstborn of all creation= created direct, first and last all other things created-THROUGH him.
Nope a creature by definition cannot create

Next fallacy

or: HALF fallacy?:
All angels have a God.
Exactly, and:

"For unto which of the angels said He {The Father} at any time,Thou art My SON, this day​
have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him A Father, and He shall be to Me a SON?​
And again, when He Bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, He Saith, And let​
all the angels of God worship Him (The SON!)!" (Hebrews 1:5-6 AV)​

Why The Triune GodHead Is Correct!

Still praying for all these Christ - deniers, right @civic?

Amen.

You must have missed Psalm 45:7-quoted in NT At Heb 1:9-- You loved righteousness and hated wickedness, that is why God, your God, anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your fellows( partners)= angels.
And Heb 1:4-- So he has become( means he was equal) better than the angels to the extent that he has inherited( given to him by God) a name more excellent than theirs.-- These bible facts cannot bedenied.
The Greek word for worship=Proskeneu, it carries 5 different meanings from Greek to English-1) worship to God-2) obeisance to a king-3) honor to a judge, plus 2 others.
Every bible writer knew 100% Jesus has a God and that God does not have a God, thus in reality, they bowed in obeisance to Gods appointed king. Catholicism put worship to fit their false council teaching that God is a trinity.
 
a 10 year old can understand it.
Can you translate what you wrote below into full English sentences? I'm assuming you inserted foreign words into your sentences. A 10 year old would not understand that. This must be a special JW coded dialect. Your dirt poor English Language communication skills shows why you fall so easily into heresies.
Satan is called Theos=god at 2 Cor 4:4 While the true God is called Ho Theos=God--same at John 1:1, the Word is called Theos, the True God is called Ho Theos, Why?

Angels do not receive worship but Christ did

Hebrews 1:5–6 (KJV 1900) — 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
 
Its fact-John 3:16 backs it as fact.
John 3:16 (KJV 1900) — 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Offers no justification for adding to scripture


Act 20:28(NWT) Pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the holy spirit has appointed YOU overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God, which he purchased with the blood of his own [Son].

The Watchtower adds to and denies scripture, therefore is under the curse of God.
 
Jesus didn't create. Jehovah created all things-THROUGH-Jesus. Except for the being who became Jesus. He was created direct-first and last.
This is silly-

Hebrews 1:2 - "But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the worlds."

Here, “worlds” translates the Greek term aionas, which means “ages” or “worlds” in the sense of realms or dimensions of existence. This verse points to the Son (Jesus) as the means by which God the Father created everything, indicating that Jesus was directly involved in shaping the cosmos across all ages.

Colossians 1:16-17 - “For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

Paul here confirms that Jesus created not only the physical world but also the spiritual realms, with “all things” in heaven and on earth made by Him and for Him. The phrase “in Him all things hold together” further underscores His sustaining power over creation, indicating His divine nature and creative authority.
Hebrews 11:3 - “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Although not explicitly naming Jesus, this passage aligns with the role of the Word (Logos), which John 1:1-3 identifies as Christ. The verse affirms that “the worlds” were framed by God’s Word, understood as Jesus, through whom creation was spoken into being.

1 Corinthians 8:6 - "Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live."

Here, Paul acknowledges Jesus as the one through whom all things were made, clarifying that Jesus’ creative role is distinct yet inseparably united with the Father’s purpose in creation.

That is what transpires in the Christ denying cults. They must resort to denial of the scripture text
 
Jesus didn't create. Jehovah created all things-THROUGH-Jesus. Except for the being who became Jesus. He was created direct-first and last.

No exceptions meaning everything created​

Was done by Him and for Him. This includes the angels which Christ created and whom also worship Him now in heaven(see Rev 5).

Col 1:16-17
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 — all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

We see above that creation of all things(panta- no exceptions and is all inclusive) were made by Him and solely for Him. They were created for His good pleasure. And without Him nothing was made that was made(see John 1:1-3).

Also since we see He is before all things created then logic and reason dictates that He is Eternal and not part of any creation. He is distinct and separate from created as the Creator.

Here we see that Paul completely exhausts the creation categories:

1)all things created
2)things in heaven
3)things in the earth
4) things visible
5)things invisible
6)thrones,dominions,rulers,authorities
7)the above mentioned things rule out any exceptions

Now we also see from the Apostle Paul that He(Christ) is BEFORE all things and that all things in Him subsist or are held together.

Now tell me Who other than the Almighty God known as YHWH is before all things, created all things and holds the very universe together?

The answer none but God. And Paul tells us in the context that Jesus is the very image of the invisible God. He made the unknown known, the invisible God became visible in the flesh. This is the Incarnation where we see in Christ God was manifest in the flesh. God became man as John's prologue so eloquently spells out in verses 1-18.

So can you like the Author of Hebrews, Paul, Thomas, Peter and John confess Jesus is your God, your Creator?

Angels were created as per Colossians 1:16-17 below who are the created angels , the principalities and powers with rank and order below. And we know only God created them and has the power over them. And Christ is God, their Creator who rules over them.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Ephesians 1:20-21
which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Ephesians 3:10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The angels are His to command.

Matt 13:41
41
"The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,

Matt 24:30-31
30
"And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31"And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

Matt 25:31-33
31
"But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. 32"All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; 33and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.

2 Thess 1:7
when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

1 Tim 5:21
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.

Heb 1:6
He says,
"AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM."


Rev 5:11-12
11
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12saying with a loud voice,
"Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing."


The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

More evidence He is the Creator of all things, everyhing.

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

John 1:3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Romans 11:33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34 For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? 35 Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again? 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.


1 Corinthians 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

Colossians 1:16-17
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Hebrews 1:2
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

Hebrews 1:10
He also says,
"In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.



hope this helps !!!
 
John 1:3 created-THROUGH Jesus= another did the creating.
Trinitarians twist Gen 1:26=US, but in 27 a singular being created
Prov 8:27-28-HE ( not we) created
Isaiah 40:26-HE( Not we) created.

US = Jehovah and his master worker( Jesus). Jehovah the only one with the power and wisdom to create created things THROUGH his master worker. He created Jesus direct, first and last=the firstborn of all creation.
SMH
 
Its unbelievable how two people can read the same creation passages and come up with the opposite understanding.

I think of 2 cor 4:4 that the glory of Christ has been veiled/hidden from them by the god of this world. Its a stronghold over the mind and heart.
 
Jesus points his to his God and Father. Matt 22:37- Jesus said--You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole mind.
So you are correct, Jehovah comes first just as he did in Jesus' life, our example to follow.
Yet:

Jesus said.....JOHN 8:24 “THEREFORE I SAID TO YOU THAT YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS; FOR UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT I AM HE YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS.",

Your translation word play
24  That is why I said to you: You will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am the one, you will die in your sins.”
Σατᾶν sure was busy.

Exactly: Veiled from them.

Cor 4:3-4 from their own translation... NWT 4  among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination*
of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through.

And they know not what they read.

Col 1:17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,
