Ask any Jehovah witness if they believe Jesus was a true God? They will tell you yes. Then ask them did Jesus ever sin? Their answer will be no he never sinned. Then ask if Jesus was a true prophet? Once again they will say yes. Ask them if Jesus ever prophesied anything that did not come to pass? Again their answer will be no. They will be quick to tell you everything Jesus prophesied came to pass or he was a false prophet and false God. Now ask them did Jesus ever mislead anyone in anyway? They will again say no. Now ask them to read John chapter 2:19-23. These verses say, "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said." Now ask the Jehovah witness this question. Did Jesus do exactly what he said he would do? They will say do what? You say, raise himself from the dead just as it says in the bible. They will tell you Jesus did not raise himself from the dead, but that the Father raised him. As I said, they only say they believe in Jesus but they really do not stand by His own words. By not believing in the very words spoken by Jesus himself, they make Jesus into the following: If he didn’t raise his body as he stated he would, then he becomes a liar, sinner, false prophet, deceiver, and false God. Why is it even his own disciples remembered what Jesus said and believed it, yet the so-called witnesses will not? The answer is clear. The Jesus Christ they are following is not the same Jesus Christ found in the bible. Their leaders are misleading the witnesses and they cannot challenge them on this issue either! It is very simple, either Jesus did what He said, or he isn’t the True God. If you’re not blinded by Satan you will see the truth as it is written. Jesus raised himself, because as God in the flesh, He had that power to do so. Jesus even said he had the power to take His life back. This is what Jesus said, “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again” (John 10:18). The Jehovah Witnesses can’t believe Jesus had the ability to give His life, and take it back. Just because we don’t understand how Jesus did it, doesn’t mean He couldn’t. This Watchtower Organization is only one of many who are misleading millions of people worldwide. If you are a true believer you must accept the Word Christ spoke, when He stated, “I will raise it up.” If you do not believe Jesus did exactly what he prophesied then, you are still in your sins and your faith is in vain.
—————————————————————————————————
The Watchtower organization says that Jesus did not rise from the dead in the same body he died in. You can find what they teach in the book titled, “You Can Live Forever on Paradise Earth”. On pages 143-44 of that text it stated, that He rose as a spirit creature and that the material body of Jesus was taken away by God the Father. Therefore, they deny the physical resurrection of Christ. This is the doctrine of the Watchtower Society. Now look at what Jesus told His disciples the day He appeared in the upper room after He rose from the dead. When His disciples saw Christ appear, the bible states, “ they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit”. Now read what Jesus’ response was, I quote the very words of our Lord. “Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” (Luke 24:36-37). Jesus flat out tells them He is not a spirit! Christ said, “it is I myself”, proving that He was the exact same Jesus, who hung on the cross. He even told them to touch and handle Him so they would know for sure it was the same exact Jesus and eats fish with them to demonstrate he was flesh and bones, not a spirit creature, as the JW’s want you to believe. Now the fact is this, if Jesus did not rise in the exact same body as the one hung on the cross, then He lied when He told His followers “It is I myself”. He would have been lying when He said He wasn’t a spirit. Did Jesus lie? To a true Christian the answer is NO, Jesus was exactly the same man He was when He was hung on the cross. To a JW Jesus becomes a liar if they do not except the very words spoken by Christ. The question is, whom are you going to believe, Jesus own words, or false prophets? Remember the words of the Watchtower, “This would indicate that Jehovah’s Witnesses today make their declaration of the good news of the Kingdom under angelic direction and support…the nations will see the fulfillment of what these witnesses say as directed from heaven” (The Watchtower, April 1, 1972 p.200). Now listen to the warning made by Paul the Apostle concerning following another gospel and angels who deliver that gospel. “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel: which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” (Galatians 1:6-9 NIV Study Bible). Paul saw the future and prophesied correctly, because angels did come and give another gospel to these Jehovah’s Witnesses. This gospel however would be come with a curse. What is that curse? Paul says of the person preaching this false gospel, “let him be eternally condemned! ”
