There is much to think about with all of the comments so far,it almost got me to thinking the Bible had Jehovah and Jesus as the same being ,or at least his equal previiously in coming to earth and the only inferiority attributed to Jesus was when he came to earth and was born as a human. Gen.1:26
You do make an interesting argument SBF in defense of the NT jews understanding what Jesus name signified ,however unlike the explicit scriptures stated throughout the NT highlighting the name of Jesus ,there still is no such scripture in the NT that explicitly states that Christians are to be witnesses of Jehovah.
And I believe that is a very important point to make.One that every Jehovah`s Witness should be aware of.
This quote from Coftys earlier post some years ago.
it would seem reasonable to say that Jehovah's Witnesses do not speak about Jesus in the same manner as early Christians did. The apostles described themselves as witnesses of Jesus, they called him their only owner and Lord, and the one to whom they belonged. They were baptised in his name, led by his Spirit, rejoiced in his blessing and overflowed with praise for him. All of these statements are incompatible with the beliefs and practice of Jehovah's Witnesses.
And Jehovah`s Witnesses claim they have based their religion on 1st century Christianity .
