Re: Jehovah Witnesses say...

They do not believe in the Trinity so John 1:1 has to be changed to conform; They write: "In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god." (NWT)

The Bible says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (NKJV)

The NWT is full of these "little" changes to reinforce what the JWs preach but there are so many discrepancies, is is laughable (if it was not so serious a matter).

Read NWT Rev. 1: 8 ("I am the Alpha and the Omega" says Jehova God, "the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.")and then 17-18 (... I am the First and the Last, and the living one; and I became dead, but look! I am living forever and ever,...") and then reference the above John 1:1. They get confused when it comes to who has died and is living again. According to the NWT, Jehova God died. This is utterly ridiculous.
