There are alot of errors in the Watchtower bible. LOL. My
son joined and is estranged from us. Now that you have my
attention....... He told me that they don't believe in the holy
trinity. So God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God
the Holy Ghost, is not accepted by them. I was told that
they believe, that Jesus was an angel sent to earth, as in a
fallen angel. He never refers to Jesus. Just Jehovah God
when I last spoke to him when he joined and before he
started to shun us. We lost him for 15 years. And I just found
him with help. He now shuns his own son. And kicked him out
for not being a good JW. And he's only 19. I wish I could find
him also.
Anyway, what do you know is the accepted belief they have
over where Jesus came from? And what his purpose was?
They have rewritten the standard bible scripture, to make
sense as they see it. I'm told they patterned their bible from
the Greek translation. So is that different from the norm, or
do you know? Maybe you could help me with an answer at
my avatar email?
I am curious to the answers you get from your question.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus is distinct from Jehovah, even though both Jesus and Jehovah are referred to as 'lord of lords'.
This is unsurprising, because both Jehovah and Jesus are far superior to any human "lord", and (in fact) Jehovah's Witnesses have never pretended that "lord" is some exclusive title used only by God or Christ.
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God the Father

There is no error and it does not mean that Jesus is God Almighty.
Jehovah is the supreme King,possessing unlimited power and authority.
Jesus Christ is a subordinate King,as Jehovah has put him in the position of ruling the universe.He has far greater power than any earthly kings.(Phil. 2:9-11)
Jesus Christ has therefore been made "King of kings and lord of lords."(Rev.19:16)

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them,saying:"All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. See there is no error. (given by whom?)
Also John 15:1 ,14:28 there are too many to list but Jesus speaks of his father though out the bible,the king James bible is what many religions refer to; check it out, do some research don't just take any persons word for it, if you believe the bible then it is there for you to see.

Deut is dealing with false gods. and rightly applies to Jehovah.
Rev. is talking about earthly kings and lords, Since Jehovah appointed Jesus above the earthly kings, This rightly applies to Jesus.

Your statement's intent is so flawed I'm not sure where to start.
First off, the Bible is not a single book, but a COLLECTION of books. What you did was quote two different books of the collection we call the Bible. So the Bible did NOT contradict itself. Two books of the Bible phrased a subject in a different way.
And why direct this at Jehovah's Witnesses? Is this not your Bible too? The only difference in a Bible Jehovah's Witnesses carry is that the name God is not substituted with a title, but rather uses his name as the Bible originally did. (Look it up).
Also remember that the Bible was translated many times over since it's original state, so feel free to nit-pick at a book that's thousands of years old in which the writers/translators can not possibly defend themselves if it makes you feel smart.

The Greek and Hebrew words rendered "lord" (or such related terms as 'sir,' "owner," "master') are used with reference to Jehovah God, Jesus Christ , one of the elders seen by John in vision, angels and false deities .
"And go, enter in among the exiled people, among the sons of your people, and you must speak to them and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD Jehovah has said,’ regardless of whether they hear or they refrain." -- Ezekiel 3:11
"Not everyone saying to me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will." -- Matthew 7:21
"And in response one of the elders said to me: “These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?” So right away I said to him: “My LORD, you are the one that knows.” And he said to me: “These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." -- Revelation 7:13,14
"Now the two angels arrived at Sodom by evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot caught sight of them, then he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the earth. And he proceeded to say: “Please, now, my LORDS, turn aside, please, into the house of your servant and stay overnight and have your feet washed. Then you must get up early and travel on your way.” To this they said: “No, but in the public square is where we shall stay overnight."" -- Genesis 19:1,2
"For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many "LORDS"." -- 1 Corinthians 8:5

In plane English - Jehovah God is above every other Lord every other God, including Jesus Christ. There is no error.
It's time you get to know them both intimately!
JOH 17:3 . . .This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
