“The most basic sort of argument employed by JWs to show that Jesus cannot04 be God is this: There f 🐦
are several Scriptures that distinguish between Jesus and God, treating them
2016 as different
2018 2019 individuals.
▾ About this capture
Some of these Scriptures simply distinguish between Jesus and the Father (e.g., John 8:17-18).
These texts present no difficulty for the Trinitarian position, since the Trinity doctrine also
distinguishes between the Father and the Son as two ‘persons.’
“Then there are texts that speak of the Father as the God of Jesus Christ (e.g., John 20:17; 1
Corinthians 11:3). The Watchtower booklet argues, ‘Since Jesus had a God, his Father, he could not
at the same time be that God’ (p. 17). But again, trinitarians do not hold that Jesus is his Father.
They hold that Jesus, because he became a man, was placed in a position in which as man he
was required to honor the Father as his God. At the same time, Trinitarians point out some
aspects of the Bible’s teaching that show that JWs have misunderstood the implications of the
Father being Christ’s God.
“First, Jesus made it clear that the Father was his God in a unique manner compared with the
manner in which the Father is our God. Thus, in John 20:17 Jesus stated, ‘I am ascending to my
Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God’ (NWT). Why did Jesus not simply say,
‘I am ascending to our Father and our God’? In fact, Jesus never spoke of the Father as ‘our
Father,’ including himself along with his disciples. (In Matt. 6:9 Jesus told his disciples that they
should pray, ‘Our Father…,’ but did not include himself in that prayer.) Jesus was careful to
distinguish the two relationships, because he was God’s Son by nature whereas Christians are
God’s ‘sons’ by adoption. Similarly, the Father was Jesus’ God because Jesus humbled himself
to become a man (Phil. 2:7), whereas the Father is our God because we are by nature
creatures.” (Bowman, Why You Should Believe in the Trinity: An Answer to Jehovah’s Witnesses
[Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, MI: Seventh printing, 1993], 6. Does the Bible Deny That Jesus
is God?, pp. 71-72; bold emphasis ours)
That Bowman is correct can be seen from the fact that the Holy Bible teaches that Jesus became a flesh and
blood human being in order to offer his life as a vicarious sacrifice for the salvation of the world:
“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am
the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews
therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink
his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He
that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.” John 6:50-56
“But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did
not Abraham.” John 8:40
The God-breathed Scriptures further teach that after his resurrection, Jesus continues to exist as a man
(albeit a glorified one) with a immortal, incorruptible body of flesh:
“And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be
unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he
said unto them, 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. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they
yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave
him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them.” Luke
24:36-43 – cf. John 20:24-29
“Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit
of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; he seeing this
before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see
corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.” Acts 2:30-32
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to
repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by
THAT MAN whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he
hath raised him from the dead.” Acts 17:30-31 – cf. 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Revelation 5:5; 22:16
And since the Holy Bible proclaims that Jehovah is the God of all flesh,
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27
It therefore makes perfect sense that the Father would be Jesus’ God, seeing that the latter became a flesh
and blood human being.

the Father only became God to his beloved Son at the moment of the Son’s human conception, a fact f 🐦
brought out by the falling Psalm: 2016 2018 2019 ▾ About this capture
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the
words of my roaring?… I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s
belly… I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is
melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth
to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the
assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my
bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
vesture… I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise
thee.” Psalm 22:1, 10, 14-18, 22
Here the Messiah plainly states that Jehovah has been his God from his mother’s belly or womb, meaning from
his human conception.
That this is a Messianic Psalm, at least according to the NT writers, can be seen from the following verses,
which either quote from or make allusion to this particular Psalm in describing the crucifixion and resurrection
appearances of Christ:
“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to
say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46
“Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every
soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They
said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the
scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they
did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.” John 19:23-24
“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not
ashamed to call them brethren, saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the
church will I sing praise unto thee.” Hebrews 2:11-12
Therefore, the reason Jesus has a God over him is because he is not just God, but he is also a man. This is
precisely why we find specific texts, which identify Christ as truly divine and human at the same time. Note,
for example, the following verses:
“Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted
the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way
of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a
great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined… For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth
even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:1-2, 6-7 – cf. 10:20-21;
Matthew 4:12-16; Luke 1:26-35
“But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee
shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old,
from everlasting. Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought
forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. And he shall stand and
feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide:
for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.” Micah 5:2-4 – cf. Matthew 2:1-6; Luke 2:4-7
Jesus is the child who is born, the ruler who comes from Bethlehem to Shepherd his flock in the name of
Jehovah his God, who happens to be the mighty God himself that comes forth from eternity past in order to
reign on the throne of David forever!
And:
“I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them,
Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone
me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and
because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” John 10:30-33
“whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God
blessed for ever. Amen.” Romans 9:5
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received
up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16
This next one is quite remarkable:

the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:9-10 ▾ About this capture
Noted Evangelical NT scholar Murray J. Harris helps bring out the significance of this text:
1. Divine Status Claimed by or Accorded to Jesus
A. In Relation to God the Father…
1. JESUS IS THE POSSESSOR OF DIVINE ATTRIBUTES
One verse beyond all others in the New Testament affirms that every divine attribute is found in
Jesus… (Col. 2:9). Paul does not say simply "the plenitude of Deity," but "the entire fullness of
Deity." He emphasizes that no element of that fullness is excepted. Whatever is characteristic of
God as God resides in Christ. This includes both God's nature and his attributes. In the Greek text
the verb lives (present tense) and the adverb translated "in bodily form" are not found side by side
but are separated, which suggests that two distinct affirmations are being made: the entire fullness
of the Godhead dwells in Christ eternally and that this fullness now permanently resides in Christ in
bodily form. Thus, Paul implies both the eternal deity and the permanent humanity of Christ.
As for specific attributes, certain passages imply that both before and after his earthly life Jesus is
omniscient (John 21:17; Acts 1:24), omnipresent (Eph. 4:10), and immutable (Heb. 13:8). What is
more, during his earthly life he was sinless and holy (Acts 3:14; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 4:15; 7:26; 1 Pet.
2:22; 1 John 3:5) just as God the Father is holy (Lev. 19:2; Isa. 6:3; 57:15). (Harris, Three Crucial
Questions About Jesus [Baker Books, Grand Rapids, MI 1994], pp. 66-67; underline emphasis ours)
In fact, the NT goes as far as to identify Christ as the eternal Creator and Sustainer whom the Father
appointed to bring the entire creation into existence:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same
was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men… That was the true Light,
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him not… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
John 1:1-4, 9-10, 14
John wasn’t the only inspired author that describes Jesus as the Creator and Sustainer that became flesh at a
specific point in time:
“who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the
image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for BY HIM were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created BY HIM, and FOR HIM: and he
IS before all things, and BY HIM all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the
preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace
through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” Colossians 1:13-20
“hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by
whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our
sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high… But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O
God (ho Theos), is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou
hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with
the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord [the Son], in the beginning hast laid the
foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: they shall perish; but thou
remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up,
and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.” Hebrews 1:2-3, 8-
12
What makes the above passage from Hebrews truly remarkable is that the inspired writer has taken the
following Psalm, which describes Jehovah as the immutable Creator and Sustainer of the entire creation,
“Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee… But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever;
and thy remembrance unto all generations… Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and
the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them
shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but
thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.” Psalm 102:1, 12, 25-27
