Watchtower Deceptions: Confusing Modalism as if it were trinity ... Someone who is 'with' another person cannot also be that other person." The deception is that this false argument implies that Trinitarians believe that Jesus is the same person as the Father, when in fact, only Modalists believe this. Modalists and JW's are both anti-Trinitarians! Jehovah's Witnesses really don't understand the difference between Trinity and Modalism. In fact Modalism is just as Anti-Trinitarian as Arianism, just in a different way. But in utter deception, the Watchtower applies Modalistic interpretations to a passage, then refutes it. What the average Jw's doesn't understand, is that Trinitarians apply the identical logic to refute Modalism. Here is something that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for the JW to understand. When a born again Christian points to Scriptures that demonstrate Jesus is God, THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO PROVE THAT JESUS IS GOD THE FATHER.
