Trinity proof texts: Isaiah 45:23-24 = Philippians 2:9-11 ... This silly statement fails to realize that Jesus gave up the "form of God" (outward appearance) and "equality with God" (in rank/subordination) and became a slave. Jehovah's Witnesses think it is impossible for God to give up his high status and become a slave! This is the very context of the previous 4 verses! Further, it is clear that Jehovah acquired the specific status as "savior" only after the blood of Christ was shed on the cross, for without this action in 30 AD, God could not save man! Does the fact that God officially and actually acquired the title of saviour at the cross mean he is not God? No more than the fact that Jesus acquired the status of Lord and Christ. Very troubling for Jehovah's Witnesses is that YHWH is not found in the New Testament Greek anywhere. They are guilty of adding to the word of God!

The apostles were told what to write in the Holy Scriptures which are the New Testament, for Jesus promised, "But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to you remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you". There are several things a believer must do before he becomes a member of the Lord's church. One of these is to believe, another is to repent (to turn away from a sinful life) and yet another is to be baptized into Christ for the remission of sins. Few teach baptism for the remission of sins and this requirement is yet another marking of the Lord's church, for Acts 2:38-47 reads, in part, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins . . .

The Interactive Bible: The great doctrines of Jesus form the foundation for righteous living. In I Corinthians 15, the resurrection inspires us to work for Christ, "knowing that our labour is not in vain, in the Lord" I Corinthians 15:58. In Acts, the seventeenth chapter, the judgement of God prompts men who knew little of God to change from their evil ways (Acts 17:30,31). The consciousness of a life and judgement after death supplies one of the most effective of all motives for righteousness and godly living. Selfishness, cruelty, vice, crime and wickedness in every form flourish among people who entertain the conviction that death is the end of everything.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men" (II Corinthians 5:10-11). This statement, and all the warnings in the Bible are intended to move us to repent of our sins. The second motive God uses to bring about repentance is love. The Bible says, ". . . not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance" (Romans 2:4). The goodness of God is revealed in the life and death of His only Son, Jesus Christ. As we study the life of our Lord, and see the beauty of holiness manifested through His earthly pilgrimage, then follow Him to Calvary and watch Him suffer there, dying for our sins, making it possible for poor sinners to be saved, and to become children of God, we ask why all this flow of love, why all this display of goodness?

A Short History of the Watchtower Organization began proclaiming that Christ would return in 1843.
