Jehovah's Witnesses?

Dr. Ron Rhodes was on the radio talking about witnessing to Jehovah’s witnesses. He played several clips of JW teachers explaining some of their teachings. One clip discussed Jesus and said that Jesus died at the end of his ministry and was buried. (Not capitalized in accordance with what the recording claimed.) Then, Jehovah God, disintegrated Jesus’ body. Three days later, God recreated another Jesus to appear to Jesus’ believers in order to convince them that Jesus had raised from the dead. This “new” Jesus went on to return to the role of Gabriel in heaven.

I had never heard that Jesus was recreated in a new body to fool the believers. If that is what they really teach, it would seem that they are identifying Jehovah God as a liar. Jesus did not rise from the dead, but Jehovah God pretended or faked the fact that Jesus did.

Paul addressed just that concept in 1 Corinthians 15 beginning in verse 12. Read through v. 19. To apply it to this false idea, focus on v. 14, 15.
...and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead (and Jesus) are not raised.

Some in Corinth were claiming that there was no resurrection from the dead. Paul specifically answered that here. First, he pointed out that faith is worthless if it is in a dead Jesus. Then he continued, as if he had heard the teaching that Dr. Rhodes was exposing and contradicting. Paul did a steamroller job on it.

Paul said that if Jesus had not been raised from the dead, then, he, Paul, was a false witness of God because he testified that God had raised Christ from the dead. Just in case it is not clear, Paul was defending the bodily resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This was not some kind of reincarnation nor a recreation. It was the dead body of Jesus being brought back to life. (The entire chapter is referenced in the link below.)

It would seem that a Jehovah Witness is not a very good witness if he calls Jehovah a liar. In fact, it would seem that the witness would be a false witness for Jehovah. That is not a place that I would care to occupy. And we have not even considered the fact that Jesus was truly God and not a secondary being. Jehovah God commands that we worship no one but Himself. (Exodus 20. 1st commandment.)

So in Hebrews 1, when Jehovah God commands the angels to worship Jesus (Hebrews 1:6) He is contradicting Himself.
“And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

Then later in v. 9 Jehovah God calls Jesus, God.
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.”
He is mistaken or telling a lie. The hole is getting deeper and deeper. Either we have a schizophrenic God who makes mistakes and tells angels to worship someone or some thing different than Himself, or worse, tells lies. Particularly a lie that Jesus is Jehovah God, if indeed Jesus is not God.

Going farther, to deny that Jesus is Jehovah God both disobeys Jehovah by not worshiping Jesus, and then,  calls Jehovah a liar for saying that Jesus is Jehovah God. I choose to believe what Jehovah God says and discount what His “witnesses” proclaim. The liar is not Jehovah. You decide who is lying and who you want to believe.
