They come to the door, always wanting to study the Bible with you. They are very sincere in their beliefs, and they have converted many throughout the years. They are the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and we need to be able to withstand and combat their false teachings. Many of their false ideas could be pointed out, but this article will only deal with one. The Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that Jesus was the very first created being, and not God in the flesh. In an attempt to justify themselves in this teaching, they have produced their own version of the Bible (the New World Translation), which blatantly changes the meaning of certain passages. The most glaring example of this is John 1:1, which in their version reads, “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was a god.” Almost all other translations say “and the Word was God.” They appeal to a non-existent Greek rule for this change, yet oddly enough do not follow their made-up rule in the other four cases that appear in the very same chapter! If one were to follow this supposed rule, the Bible would say the following: “There was a man sent from a god” (John 1:6), “as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of a god” (John 1:12), “which were born, not…of the will of man, but of a god” (John 1:13), “no man has seen a god at any time” (John 1:18).
