WHEN did Jesus BEGIN to EXIST?

WHEN did Jesus BEGIN to EXIST?

The Answer is in The Genealogy of Jesus:

◄ Matthew 1 ►

Berean Literal Bible

The Genealogy of Jesus

(Ruth 4:18-22; Luke 3:23-38)

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:

2 Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brothers. 

3 And Judah begat Perez and Zerah out of Tamar, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram.

4 And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon.

5 And Salmon begat Boaz out of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed out of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,

6 and Jesse begat David the king.

Next:

David begat Solomon, out of the wife of Uriah,

7 and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asa.

8 And Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah.

9 And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah.

10 And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amos, and Amos begat Josiah,

11and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.

12 And after the carrying away to Babylon: Jechoniah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,

13 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor.

14 And Azor begat Zadok, and Zadok begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud.

15 And Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob, 16 And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, the One being called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David until the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

The Birth of Jesus

(Isaiah 7:10-16; Micah 5:1-6; Luke 2:1-7)

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ came about in this way: His mother Mary, having been pledged to Joseph, before their coming together, was found holding in womb through the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being righteous and not willing to shame her publicly, resolved to divorce her quietly.

20 But on his having pondered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, you should not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, for that having been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

22 And all this has come to pass, so that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23“Behold, the virgin will hold in womb, and will bring forth a son, and they will call His name Immanuel” which is, being translated, “God with us.”

24 And Joseph, having been awoken from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and received his wife. 25 But he did not know her until she had brought forth a Son, and he called His name Jesus.


◄ Matthew 2 ►

Berean Literal Bible

The Pilgrimage of the Magi

1 Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is the One having been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

What have we discovered in The Genealogy of Jesus?

We have seen in The Genealogy of Jesus, WHEN Jesus was BEGOTTEN and BORN.

The Genealogy of Jesus, reveals WHEN He came into existence.

In The Genealogy of Jesus, there is NO mention of Jesus pre-existing His flesh as GOD, or as an Angel.

The Genealogy of Jesus, proves how Jesus did NOT pre-exist His flesh.

In fact, in all three Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, there is NO  mention, ANYWHERE, of Jesus pre-existing His flesh.

In fact, when the word of GOD is correctly understood, we discover the truth is, how there are NO teachings within the whole Bible teaching a PREEXISTING Christ, or who was GOD.

But instead a Christ who was a ''unique MAN'' and NOT PRE-EXISTING, but was instead, FOREKNOWN: as revealed in the great Bible PROPHECIES.

1 Peter 1:2: having been foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been revealed in the last times for the sake of you.

Is Jesus Michael The Archangel!


According to Jehovah Witnesses, Jesus pre-existed as Michael the Archangel.


Research by Simon Brown.  

10 QUICK FACTS!

1) The Jehovah Witnesses say, believe and teach Jesus is  Michael the Archangel, So lets start off with the best 10 reasons why I believe Jesus CANNOT possibly be Michael the Archangel.

We know Jesus DIED, as He confirmed in Revelation 1:17-18.
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, saying, "Fear not. I am the First and the Last,
and the Living One. And I was dead, and behold I am living to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
As Jesus DIED, this simply PROVES Jesus could NOT possibly be Michael the Archangel, simply because GOD's Holy angels cannot die!  Yet we know Jesus DIED. 

2) Yahweh The One True GOD confirms countless times how He alone, by himself created the world as in scriptures like Isaiah 44:24, and Isaiah 40:28.

Yahweh God is GOD AND CREATOR ALONE.


GOD IS GOD ALONE ON HIS OWN.

3) Jesus Himself, never, ever, claims He was with His Father GOD at the creation of the world, or that GOD created all things through Him, but instead Jesus confirms how His Father alone created Adam and Eve as seen in Matthew 19:4 
And answering He said, "Have you not read that the πŸ‘‰(One) πŸ‘ˆhaving created from the beginning 'made them male and female.
Notice the πŸ‘‰(One) πŸ‘ˆ as for the (One) true Father GOD alone, on His own!

Matthew 19:4
Matthew 19:4 also debunks the Trinity!

4) Jesus holds the unique titles as the New Adam, the Second Adam, the Last Adam, the Final Adam or the Ultimate Adam, 1 Corinthians 15:45-49,Romans 5:12-19.
As we know Adam was a MAN, who did not pre-exist His flesh, and so the Second Adam Jesus came, who is the Last Adam, the Final Adam or the Ultimate Adam, who also MUST be a MAN like the first Adam, and who did not pre exist his flesh like the first Adam.
If Jesus were GOD or Michael The Archangel, or some kind of  pre-existing Spirit, He would not be a true MAN, and the Second Adam Jesus, or the Christ.
With all that in mind, proves Jesus could not have pre-existed.
And this is why I believe it is essential to know the true Christ, as Jesus tells us in John 17:3.

5) Another great title of Jesus as, the Son of Man!

The expression "the Son of man" appears 81 times in the Koine Greek of the four Gospels: 30 times in Matthew, 14 times in Mark, 25 times in Luke and 12 times in John.[3][7] 
3. Lord Jesus Christ: Devotion to Jesus in Earliest Christianity by Larry W. Hurtado, ISBN 0-8028-3167-2 Wm B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2005 pages 290-293
7.The Son of Man by Chrys C. Caragounis 1986 ISBN 3-16-144963-0 page 145-147

At this stage I can say, we know when Jesus said He was (the SON of MAN) He was referring to an amazing Old Testament Prophecy of Himself, and a messianic title derived from the Book of Daniel 7:13-14.
And as the first Women Eve was taken from the First MAN Adam, this confirms WHY Jesus so often called Himself (The Son of MAN), as Jesus was affirming His human form, and is affirming his humanity, as a MAN.

As Adam means MAN, and Jesus was BORN as a HUMAN, John 1:14, this explains WHY Christ is called (the Son of Man) as the entire HUMAN line of descent is traced back to the first MAN Adam, hence the term, Christ is called (the Son of Man), traced back to the first MAN Adam, is being recalled.

The Son of Man, is a direct reference to Jesus as coming from the first MAN ADAM.
When Jesus said so many times He was (the Son of Man), Jesus was confirming His humanity as a MAN, hence, the first human.

My research proves Jesus was continually making a distinction between Himself as being a HUMAN BEING, and NOT a pre existing being, or GOD.

6) Jesus is never, ever, called a pre existing being, but always as a MAN as FLESH, Zechariah 6:12, John 1:14, Acts 2:22, John 8:40, 1 Timothy 2:5 Berean Literal Bible
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, πŸ‘‰ the man πŸ‘ˆ Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man was made of dust from the earth, the second πŸ‘‰ man πŸ‘ˆ from heaven.

Did you notice how we do not read in 1 Corinthians 15:47 that the second man from heaven was an Angel?

And did you also notice how the word of GOD often talks FIGURATIVELY, because we read Paul saying Jesus was the second  man from heaven.
Well, as we know, flesh and blood or MAN, CANNOT live in heaven.
Many are confused with the Bibles teaching of Jesus coming DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
Not understanding that Jesus and the word of GOD often spoke in parables and in a figure of speech, metaphor's, idioms, and symbolic meanings, 
as Jesus said in John 16:25 until the end of his ministry.

7) Jesus is always plainly and clearly IDENTIFIED:
He is called Jesus, Matthew 1:21, Matthew 1:25, Luke 1:31, the Lamb of GOD John 1:29, Saviour and Christ, "the Anointed One", Lord, and Messiah Luke 2:11, Matthew 16:16, Matthew 16:20.
the SON of GOD John 10:36, Matthew 16:16, Revelation 2:18,  the Only Begotten Son of GOD, John 1:18, John 3:16, Immanuel Matthew 1:23.23, the  bread of life John 6:35.5, the living bread that came down from heaven. John 6:51, the light of the world John 8:23, John 9:5, the Son of Man John 8:28, the door, John 10:9, the good shepherd. 

The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11, the resurrection and the life John 11:25, the way, and the truth, and the life John 14:6, the true vine  John 15:1, the Messenger of great counsel Isaiah 9:6, the Greek Septuagint, the First and the Last Revelation 1:18, the messenger of the church in Smyrna Revelation 2:8, the Holy One, the True One, Revelation 3:7, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation Revelation 3:14.

As we have seen, there are many GREAT names and Titles for Jesus, but NOT a single word saying Jesus is a pre-existing Angel, or that His name is called Saint Michael, or that He is Michael the Archangel, or that He pre-existed as a Spirit being, or that He is called GOD Almighty. 

8) Jesus is not mentioned in Hebrew 1:1, but only: God, having spoken long ago to our fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways.
And so Hebrews 1:1 proves Jesus was not yet in existence, until His arrival in Hebrews 1:2πŸ‘‰ in these last daysπŸ‘ˆ has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the ages.

9) We now move to the (unique) WORDS of Job 23:13, GOD is ONE BEING with NO MEDIATOR!
Job 9:33 tells us: Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both. Job 9:33
We clearly see how Job tells us there is NOT A MEDIATOR, and praying how we need A MEDIATOR, between GOD and MAN, which GOD so wonderfully already had known and planned, before the foundations of the world 1 Peter 1:20.

10) In Hebrews 1:4,5 we read how Jesus is much superior to the angels, and For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are my Son; today I have begotten You”? 6 And again, when He brings the Firstborn into the world, He says: “And let all God’s angels worship Him.” Please notice there, how Angels worship Jesus, and not Angels worshiping Michael The Archangel.
In fact in Revelation 22:8,9, we read how John was told NOT to worship the Angels:

The Jehovah’s Witnesses Wrong Teaching of Revelation 3:14!

 Revelation 3:14.


Are The Jehovah’s Witnesses right or wrong with their Teachings of Revelation 3:14?

Lets find out!

We now move forward from The Jehovah’s Witnesses Wrong Teaching of Colossians 1:16, to The Jehovah’s Witnesses Wrong Teachings of Revelation 3:14!

What do the Jehovah’s Witnesses believe, teach and preach, about their faith and understanding of Revelation 3:14?

Let us turn to  the Jehovah’s Witnesses site: Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY http://www.jw.org/  we read about: Colossians 1:16
by means of him all other things were created: God used “his beloved Son” (Col 1:13) in creating the things “in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible.” This would include the millions of other spirit sons in Jehovah God’s heavenly family, as well as the physical universe. (Ge 1:1; Da 7:9, 10; Joh 1:3; Re 5:11) Jesus was Jehovah’s firstborn Son and the only one created directly by God. (Heb 1:6; see study notes on Joh 1:14 and Col 1:15.) Logically, it was to this firstborn Son that Jehovah said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.”​—Ge 1:26.
all other things: A literal rendering of the Greek text would be “all things.” (Compare Kingdom Interlinear.) However, such a rendering could give the impression that Jesus was not created but was the Creator himself. And that idea would not agree with the rest of the Bible, including the preceding verse, which calls Jesus “the firstborn of all creation.” (Col 1:15; compare Re 3:14, where Jesus is called “the beginning of the creation by God.”)

Jehovah’s Witnesses site: Watchtower

As we see and read how the Jehovah’s Witnesses believe, teach and preach how Revelation 3:14 is a proof text supporting their doctrine of Colossians 1:15 and 1:16, saying GOD created all things through His SON Jesus, including the millions of other spirit sons in Jehovah God’s heavenly family, as well as the physical universe, and that Jesus is the ''BEGINNING'' and FIRST created being.

Is this doctrine by The Jehovah’s Witnesses of Revelation 3:14, true or false?

Are The Jehovah’s Witnesses correct in saying the word for ''BEGINNING" in Revelation 3:14 means Jesus is the ''BEGINNING'' and FIRST of GOD's creation and that GOD created all the Angels and the physical universe THROUGH Jesus?

Revelation 3:14

May I now please demonstrate how the The Jehovah’s Witnesses are again misunderstanding Revelation 3:14, just as they have also been deceived into misunderstanding Colossians 1:15 and 1:16.

Please follow me as we examine the simple Biblical facts!

Revelation 3:14, Berean Literal Bible tells us:
And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the 
''BEGINNING''
 of God's creation.

Revelation 3:14



Who is this talking in Revelation 3:14?

The answer is found in John's Vision on Patmos Revelation 1 ► Berean Literal Bible:

9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like that of a trumpet, 11saying,c “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands, One like the Son of Man, having been clothed to the feet, and having been girded about at the breasts with a golden sash. 14 Now His head and His hairs are white like wool, white as snow; and His eyes are like a flame of fire; 15 and His feet are like fine bronze, as having been refined in a furnace; and His voice is like the voice of many waters; 16 and He is holding in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp two-edged sword is going forth out of His mouth; and His face is like the sun shining in its full strength.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, saying, “Fear not. I am the First and the Last, 18 and the Living One. And I was dead, and behold I am living to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
19 Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to take place after these, 20 the mystery of the seven stars, which you saw on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

As we have read, in verse 12: John turned to see the voice that was speaking was One like the Son of Man who we know is Jesus.
We know this because in verse 18 we read: and the Living One. And I was dead, and behold I am living to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

So we now know Jesus is the person talking to John in: Revelation 3:14, 
And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the 
 ''BEGINNING''
 of God's creation.

We also know who is: the faithful and true Witness in Revelation 3:14, by going back to Revelation 1:5 where we read: Jesus Christ, the faithful witness.

Revelation 1:5

The next question is, what does Jesus mean by saying He is: the ''BEGINNING" of God's creation?

As we have seen how The Jehovah’s Witnesses Teach Revelation 3:14 proves Jesus is the ''BEGINNING" of God's (GENESIS) creation.

However, what The Jehovah’s Witnesses are falling to understand is how they are contradicting the whole of GOD's word throughout the Old Testament.

This is because GOD, never, ever, tells us He used His Son Jesus, or in fact ANYONE to create the ''BEGINNING" of the (GENESIS) creation, BY, or through, or with.

GOD tells us over and over again how He ALONE, BY HIMSELF, created all things in the (GENESIS) creation just as we read in just two of countless teachings like below: 
Isaiah 44:24: Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: "I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who ALONE stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth BY MYSELF.

Isaiah 44:24.

Isaiah 48:12
"Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. 13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.

As we have seen that GOD the Father ALONE: stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth BY MYSELF, with MY HAND says GOD, and that is clearly ONE PERSON ALONE on His OWN seen by GOD's own words in Isaiah saying: ALONE, BY MYSELF, MY HAND, and MY RIGHT HAND.

This alone simply proves how The Jehovah’s Witnesses are failing to understand the simple truth, that Jesus could NOT have been WITH GOD at the (GENESIS) creation, because GOD says: He ALONE stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth BY MYSELF.

Also Jesus never, ever tells us how He was ALIVE WITH GOD at creation, or helping GOD in the Genesis creation.

Now we have seen how GOD ALONE, BY HIMSELF created the (GENESIS) creation, what then is the truth, what did Jesus mean by saying He is: the ''BEGINNING" of God's creation?

The simple answer is seen in Colossians 1:18
Berean Literal Bible
And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the ''BEGINNING" firstborn out from the dead, so that He might be holding preeminence in all things,

Colossians 1:18

Did you notice, the SAME words saying: who is the ''BEGINNING'' Colossians 1:18.

And we continue to read how Jesus is the: firstborn out from the dead. And holding preeminence in all things.

Lets now look in the Strong's Concordance at the Greek word (πρωτΡύω preeminence).
prΓ³teuΓ³: to have the first place
Original Word: πρωτΡύω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: prΓ³teuΓ³
Phonetic Spelling: (prote-yoo'-o)
Definition: to have the first place
Usage: I have preeminence, am chief, am first.
NAS Exhaustive Concordance
Word Origin
from prΓ³tos
Definition
to have the first place
NASB Translation
have first place (1).

(πρωτΡύω preeminence).

So as we have read Jesus is The Chief, The First, The Firstborn out from the Dead, the ''BEGINNING'' Colossians 1:18.

But please hold on, as there is more.

If we turn to John the Baptist, there we read how Jesus is FIRST in order, rank and precedence.

John 1:15
Berean Literal Bible
John witnesses concerning Him, and he cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I was saying, 'The One coming after me has precedence over me, because He was before me.'"

John 1:30
This is He concerning whom I said, 'After me comes a man who has precedence over me, because He was before me.'

Now please make note of Ephesians 1:22
Berean Literal Bible
And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church.

The next question is, WHEN did GOD make His Son Jesus the head over all things to the church.

The answer is given by Jesus in Matthew 28:18, and there we read what Jesus said Himself saying:
"All'' authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to Me. 

Is Jesus GOD?

For those who believe Jesus is GOD, then Ephesians 1:22 and Matthew 28:18, proves them wrong, because if Jesus were already GOD, He would not have to be given by GOD "All'' authority, and ''ALL THINGS'' under His feet, because Jesus would already HAVE "All'' authority in the first place if He were already GOD.

And also according to what most believe that Jesus is GOD, that would then simply mean GOD gave Himself "All'' authority in heaven and on the earth. And therefore there would be NO need for Jesus to tell us how His Father and GOD has given Him "All'' authority in heaven and on the earth. 

With all that taken into consideration, this perfectly explains WHY Jesus said in John 8:58 "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, (I am)." Meaning  (I am) the chosen one, the Christ, FIRST in priority, order, rank and precedence before Abraham was, as told by John the Baptist. John 1:15, John 1:30.
Hold on please, here comes the best!

At this point I would now like to bring in my next witness from my previous article of The Jehovah’s Witnesses Wrong Teaching of Colossians 1:16.

This will prove how Jesus was NOT yet WITH GOD ALIVE creating the Genesis creation.
 
Hebrews 1:1 is an undeniable proof text revealing how Jesus was NOT yet alive WITH GOD in the Genesis creation, and yet most still deny these Biblical facts:

 Berean Literal Bible
God, having spoken long ago to our fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways Hebrews 1:1 
Notice how we do NOT read in Hebrews 1:1 God, having spoken long ago (THROUGH JESUS) to our fathers  in the prophets in many portions.

There is simply NO mention of Jesus being ALIVE with GOD except in the many Bible prophecies, and until He is BORN in John 1:14 which is confirmed in Hebrews 2 saying: in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the ages.

Notice: 
and through whom He made the ages.

What does Paul mean by saying  the ages?

The answer is in the beginning of the verse saying: 
in these last days.

 Ages means a period of time, and that time started at the  ''BEGINNING'' of Jesus ministry, referred to as:
 in these last days.

Conclusion.

With all that in mind, what does all this prove, mean, and reveal?

What do the Biblical facts declare?

The Biblical facts REVEAL how The Jehovah’s Witnesses are Wrong Teaching that the ''BEGINNING'' in Revelation 3:14 means Jesus was in the ''BEGINNING'' ALIVE WITH GOD and First at creation helping GOD in the Genesis creation, which therefore makes a false Christ.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses are confused with WHERE the ''BEGINNING'' in Revelation 3:14 starts from.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses have wrongly put the ''BEGINNING'' in Revelation 3:14 BEFORE the very ''BEGINNING'' of the Genesis creation.

When instead if The Jehovah’s Witnesses had understood the simple truth, they would understand the ''BEGINNING'' in Revelation 3:14 means Jesus is the ''BEGINNING'' of ALL ANEW THINGS in creation, Colossians 1:15, in these last days.

And this is why Jesus tells us in Revelation 3:14 And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the ''BEGINNING'' of God's creation.

The TRUTH is Jesus is the ''STARTING POINT'' of GODS ANEW creation Colossians 1:16

Jesus DID NOT PRE-EXIST His flesh Galatians 4:4, but was ordained, and foreknown and chosen by GOD Almighty BEFORE the ''BEGINNING'' of the foundations of the world in GOD's perfect plan 1 Peter 1:20, Acts 2:23.

Jesus is FIRST in order, priority, rank and precedence John 1:15, 1:30.

Jesus is The Chief, The First, The Firstborn out from the Dead, making Him the ''BEGINNING'' of GOD's NEW creation Colossians 1:18.

Colossians 1:16

Jesus became the Word of GOD and the ''BEGINNING'' when GOD Sent and Gave His Only Begotten SON "All'' authority IN heaven and ON the earth Matthew 28:18, for-filling all Bible prophecies.

Note, how Jesus IS The WORD ''OF'' GOD as seen in one of the greatest and most powerful words about our New RULER of  the heavens and the earth in Revelation 19:13 Berean Literal Bible
and having been clothed with a garment having been dipped in blood. And His name is called The Word of God.

Please notice if Jesus were GOD, we would simply read in 
Revelation 19:13
and having been clothed with a garment having been dipped in blood. And His name is called God, if Jesus was GOD that is!

But we instead read how Jesus is: The WORD ''OF'' GOD.
The word ''OF'' would not be added in by John if Jesus were GOD.
The word ''OF'' indicates and defines the difference between  The WORD ''OF'' GOD Jesus, in association and relation with The One True GOD.

Also notice please, how Jesus is called the RULER in Revelation 1:5 which again is one of countless proofs Jesus was NOT yet ALIVE with GOD in the geneses creation, as we know GOD is called the creator of all things ALONE: Revelation 4:11 Berean Literal Bible
"Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will, they existed and were created."

However, the Jehovah’s Witnesses doctrine is correct on the deity of GOD the Father as GOD ALONE.

But the Jehovah’s Witnesses Christ, is NOT actually the Word and the faithful and true Witness of God, because the TRUE Christ was NOT incarnated from Michael the Archangel,
as Michael the Archangel is still in heaven with BOTH Christ and GOD.

And there is NO mention in the whole Bible of Michael the Archangel no longer existing, which would be the case if Jesus were Michael the Archangel!

Jesus was a MAN!

The whole Bible teaches Jesus was a MAN, and NOWHERE do we ever read in the ''BEGINNING'' Jesus was at first a Spirit being, or Michael the Archangel, or GOD.

Jesus Himself never, ever, said or taught He was first a Spirit being, or Michael the Archangel, or GOD.

Jesus Himself said He was a MAN in: John 8:40 Berean Study Bible
But now you are trying to kill Me, (A MAN) who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
And yet most believe what He never, ever said or taught that He is GOD or an Angel.

This sadly concludes for me at least, The Jehovah’s Witnesses, are not The One True GOD's Witnesses, because they are also believing in and teaching a false Christ!

The TRUE Jesus said in John 14:6, NO ONE can get to the Father except through Him the TRUE Jesus John 17:3, so at this point The Jehovah’s Witnesses are also in danger of HELL.
