Jehovahs Witnesses,what kind of " a god" is Jesus?

Question

I ask the JW's at my door "Is there only ONE true God?"
They say "yes".Then I ask,"Then ALL other gods are false gods right?"They say "Yes".Then I ask,"Is Jesus a false god too?"Their NWT calls Jesus "a god" in John 1:1
They have 2 Gods.Also,John the babtist calls Jesus Jehovah in Matthew 3:3

Answer 1

The only Scripture which refers to "the only true God" makes it incredibly obvious that Jesus is a person distinct from "the only true God"!

(John 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.


Since Jesus (the Son) was "sent forth" on an assignment from "the only true God", the two cannot be the same person. Interestingly, the verse even teaches that God is superior to Jesus (since Jesus the Son directs prayer to and performs the work assigned by God the Father).


Meanwhile, it is sad when anti-Witnesses imply that Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus to be "false".

None of the Scriptures which have been translated to refer to Jehovah as "true" actually uses a term which is strictly an antonym of "false". Instead, in both Hebrew and Greek the terms convey the sense of being an "absolute" or "genuine" god in comparison with other so-called "gods". Almighty Jehovah has no peer among so-called "gods" such as Baal and Molech, Zeus and Jupiter.

Interestingly, the Scriptures nine times refer to Jehovah as "the true Lord". Yet the word "lord" is used dozens of times in reference to kings, dignitaries, masters, angels, and (of course) Jesus Christ. Would this questioner pretend that all of these "lords" must be "false" or else also be part of a single mysterious multi-personalitied "true Lord"?

Answer 2

The JW's have a problem making a distinction between God and Jesus as they did. The only place for Jesus is as a false god under their worldview.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is God and Deuteronomy 6:4 tells us there is 1 God - a God of united parts.

Answer 3

god means a Representative of the true God Jehovah.

This is shown in your home bible, an example is Moses was a god to pharaoh. He represented Jehovah to his brother and to the nation or Israel.

Exd 7:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

Jesus quoting Psalms said the same thing to to the Jewish leaders that he and them are suppose to represent the true God, the most high God Jehovah.

Psa 82:6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High.

Prior to being sent to earth by his father he was with his father in the creation of the heavens and earth.

John 1:1 - "and the word was with God".

When he was sent to earth he was made heir to his father's throne and so John called him Lord. - Matt 3:3

Rev 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his (father's) throne. I am the bright morning star."

Answer 4

Jesus is not a false god, unless you worship him.

Moses was God to Pharaoh, but he was not a false God unless you worshipped him

The Judges of Israel are gods, but not false gods unless you worship them.

Jesus is a Might God, but not the only true God.

Jn 10:32-36.
