Good point.
Anyone who wants to know whether the JWs’ New World Translation legitimately translates passages historically used as the basis for the doctrine of the Trinity, go onto ebay and pick up a copy of the Watchtower’s own “Kingdom Interlinear.” They don’t tend to use it these days because it clearly demonstrates how they’ve abused the Greek to craft their theology.
And, incidentally, they also believe that Christ is Michael the Archangel, and they deny Christ’s bodily resurrection (thereby making him a liar when he said “Destroy THIS temple and I will raise it...”)
Walter Martin was a great exposer of “Christian” cults.
I used to listen to a radio program daily where he sometimes was a guest.
One time he told a story of JWs coming to his door, and they mentioned John Chapter 1, where they claim it says that Jesus is A God, not God in the trinity Biblical understanding.
He looked at them and said do you mean this? And proceeded to quote the scripture in the original Greek, then explained to them that there was no “a” as they claim.
He said they just left...
It is a well known fact among true Christians that have studied JWs that they didn’t have Greek scholors (such as Martin) when they (mis)translated their erroneous bible.
