Counterarguments and analysis of their doctrine

The most important error in their teaching is about Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is a stretch to call them a Christian denomination. The First Ecumenical Council condemned the teaching of Arius about Christ only as a perfect man (325), the Second Ecumenical Council condemned the heresy that rejected the Holy Spirit as a person, as the hypostasis of God (381), and, finally, the Third Ecumenical Council condemned the false teaching that the Most Holy Virgin gave birth to the simple man Christ. In the teaching of the Jehovists, as it were, all the heretical teachings were intertwined, condemned and rejected at the Ecumenical Councils, but now raised by them and modernized. According to their teaching: Jesus is not God in any sense of the word, but is only the Son of God, i.e. a creature created in time. The death of Christ is only the sacrifice of a "perfect human life," and the salvation of the Jehovah's Witnesses depends on their works and on their loyalty to the principles of the Watchtower of the Brooklyn Edition in the United States. And such faithfulness extends not only to this age, but also to the 1000-year reign of Christ. For them, Jesus was resurrected not as a man, but as an immortal spirit. Jesus had already returned invisibly to earth in 1914 to begin kingship. Hence the signs - the beginning of incessant wars on the planet. The doctrine of the soul, not as a thinking substance, but as blood. The Watch Tower Society repeatedly predicts Armageddon, that is, the end of human history. But every date that the Tower predicted passed without much incident, leaving it hiding its false prophecies under flimsy excuses. From time to time, their doctrines change. In Zion's Watch Tower of July 1879, Hebrews 1:6 interprets Michael as one of those who worship Jesus. However, they now claim that Michael and Jesus are one person. They make and modernize the translation of the Bible. This translation is characterized by an almost deliberate lack of correct linguistic knowledge, which sometimes leads to results that would make a first-year student learning Hebrew or Greek laugh. Further, they insist on the following doctrines: The Creator God, whose name is Jehovah, is the only true God. The teaching on the Holy Scriptures. The Trinity is rejected. Jesus Christ is the only-begotten Son of God. In this respect he is divine and can be called God. However, He was created by Jehovah God before the creation of the world. By nature, He is different from Jehovah God and is the second and greatest person in the universe. The Holy Spirit is not a separate divine person, but simply God's active force. That is why in their publications the Jehovah's Witnesses write about the Holy Spirit with a small letter. Physical death is the result of sin. When a person dies, his soul also dies, because the soul is blood. Therefore, any acceptance of blood, even for medical purposes to save life, is a sin before God. After death, a person completely ceases to exist, both a righteous man and a sinner. The word "hell" means grave and is a symbol of the temporary death of a person before the resurrection. The word "fiery Gehenna", which the Jews called the dump outside Jerusalem - the Valley of Hinnom, constantly smoking with smoke and a fire, is a symbol of death without hope of resurrection. This is the complete and final cessation of the existence of the soul and the body. After the devil seduced Adam and Eve, he seduced other angels, who in the days of righteous Noah, having left the heavenly abode, created for themselves human-like bodies and descended to earth. They married the daughters of men, and from these unions children were born, who became vicious giants. After the flood, they did not die, unlike humans, but were forced to leave their earthly bodies and return to the sky. Jehovah God has bound them in the darkness of hell, i.e., deprived them of the ability to incarnate in bodies, but in other respects, as invisible spirits, they are free to deceive the entire universe with the participation of the devil. The appearance of Christ in the flesh signifies the cessation of his former existence as the Archangel Michael. Men of faith such as Abel, Abraham, Moses, Job, and others were Jehovah's Witnesses like the followers of this organization today. Jesus Christ Himself is one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Christ's atonement does not give people eternal life, but it means Jehovah's supplication, care, and love. Only during the Millennium, will it be possible to earn everlasting life by one's actions and obedience to Jehovah. Christ died not on the cross, but on a stake. Jesus did not rise from the dead bodily, but rose spiritually. It is not known what became of His physical body. The kingdom of God is a manifestation of theocracy, where Christ will be appointed King. There are two periods of this theocratic Kingdom: the first is secret, invisible, and the second is visible. The first began in 1914 and is described in Matt. 25:23-46. Those on the right are Jehovah's Witnesses, and on the left are all the others. When the battle of Armageddon occurs, it will destroy the godless world system, including all Christian churches. The Kingdom of God will have not only a King, but also a government. It will consist of 144 thousand, so after bodily death they are immediately resurrected (the first resurrection) and invisibly reign with Christ in heaven. They reign during the Millennium as well. This is a small flock, and Christ made a covenant only with them, and only they eat bread and wine at the Memorial Supper. During the Millennial Kingdom, paradisiacal life will already begin on earth, and at that time both the Jehovah's Witnesses who died before Armageddon (not from the 144,000 people) and in general will be resurrected by many, many millions of sinners. All of them will live through the Millennium and have a renewed opportunity to earn eternal life by obedience to God. Thus, in the teaching and practice of the Witnesses, several characteristic features can be traced that contrast their cult from other sects. In short, these are: rejection of the historical sequence of the development of the Church (they do not even call their organization the Church); rejection of the doctrine of the divinity of Jesus Christ; denial of the divinity and personality of the Holy Spirit; the opinion of oneself as the only true Christians; the exact and repeated appointment of the dates of the coming of Jesus Christ; non-recognition of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ; rejection of the doctrine of hell as the eternal torment of sinners; distortion and deliberate distortion of the biblical text at the behest of Brooklyn. In polemics with the Witnesses, the main emphasis should be placed on the identity of the fact that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are one person, since the main error of the Jehovah's Witnesses comes down to this culminating moment in their doctrine. The Doctrine of the True Divinity of Christ: Matt. 1:23. Jn. 20. 28. Rome. 9:5. 1 Tim. 1:1; 2:3; 4:10. Titus. 1:3; 3,4. From the comparison of the Old Testament prophecy of Joel 2:32 with Romans 10:18, it is clear that the Lord Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Lord Jehovah Jesus Christ of the New Testament, because the same verse is used in the Old Testament to refer to Jehovah God, and in the New Testament to refer to Christ. The key provision of the Bible, which is quite clearly traced in the Synodal edition, is that Jesus is God. However, the Jehovah's Witnesses do not recognize this teaching, so they have made their own translation, in which this fundamental truth is distorted. Therefore, in order to speak their language, let us turn to the New Universal Translation. Although it is still in English as a whole, the fundamental verses of the text have been translated. Who will judge us? God? "For Jehovah is our judge" (Isaiah 33:22). "... for this judge is God" (Psalm 49:6). Christ? "Therefore I adjure thee before God and our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead" (2 Tim. 4:1). Who is our Shepherd? Jehovah? "Jehovah is my Shepherd." —Ps. 22:1. Jesus Christ? "I am the good Shepherd" (John 10:11). Who is the light of the world? Jehovah? "Jehovah is my light." —Ps. 26:1. "... though I am in darkness, Jehovah is my light" (Micah 7:8). Christ? "Again Jesus spake unto the multitude, and said unto them, I am the light of the world" (John 8:12). Whose judgment shall we stand against? Jehovah? "Therefore every one of us will give an account of himself to God" (Romans 14:12). Christ? "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:10). In whose name are we baptized God? "And Jesus came nigh and said unto them, ... Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the people, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:18). Christ? "And Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ" (Acts 2:38). "When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts 19:5). Who sent the Holy Spirit? Father? "And I will pray the Father, and give you another Comforter, that the Spirit of truth may be with you forever" (John 14:16:17). "But the Comforter is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name" (John 14:26). Son? "When the Comforter comes, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth" (John 15:26). "For if I do not go, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him" (John 16:7). Who is the King of the Jews? Jehovah? "Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel." —Isaiah 44:6. "Jehovah is our King." —Isaiah 33:22. Jesus? "And they put an inscription over His head, signifying His guilt: This is Jesus, King of the Jews" (Matt. 27:37). "And the chief priests of the Jews said unto Pilate, Thou shalt not write 'King of the Jews,' but that he said, 'I am the King of the Jews' (Jn. 19:21). Who raised Jesus from the dead? Father? "And the Author of life was killed; Of this God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses" (Acts 3:15). "... but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead" (Gal. 1:1). Son? "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up in three days" (John 2:19). "And he spoke of the temple of his body" (John 2:21). Jehovah and Jesus—the Creator "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." —Gen. 1:1. "For every house is built by someone, but he who has built all things is God" (Hebrews 3:4). "I, Yahweh, who created all things, have stretched out the heavens alone, and by my power have spread out the earth. Who was with me?" (Isaiah 44:24). "And about the Son... and: "In the beginning Thou art thou. O Lord, I founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands" (Hebrews 1:8-10). "Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, being likened to the Son of God, he remains a priest forever" (Hebrews 7:3). Jehovah and Jesus are Lord of lords: "For Jehovah your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a God great and mighty and terrible." —Deut. 10:17. "One body and one spirit, even as ye are called to one hope of our calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all" (Ephesians 4:4-6). "... and one Lord Jesus Christ, in whom are all things, and we in Him" (1 Cor. 8:6). "They shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them; for He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings" (Rev. 17:14). Jehovah and Jesus are the first and the last: "Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and their Redeemer, the Jehovah of armies: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God." —Isaiah 44:6. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, saith Jehovah God, who is, was, and is to come, the Almighty" (Rev. 1:8). "And when I saw him, I fell down at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, and said unto me, I am the first, and last, and the living; and he was dead, and behold, he is alive for ever and ever; and I have the keys of hell and death" (Rev. 1:17:18; 22:12-13). Jehovah and Jesus are one God: "I am Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God besides Me" (Isaiah 45:5). "... but they will put their trust in Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, with a sincere heart. The remnant shall turn, the remnant of Jacob to the mighty God" (Isaiah 10:20-21). "See now that it is I, I who have no God besides Me" (Deuteronomy 32:39). "But my witnesses, saith Jehovah . . . before me there was no God, and after me there will be none" (Isaiah 43:10). "For unto us a child is born; The Son is given to us; the dominion is on His shoulders, and they shall call His name Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father..." (Isaiah 9:6). "For though there be so-called gods, either in heaven or on earth, for there are many gods, and many masters, yet we have one God the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we also" (1 Cor. 8:5-6). Jehovah and Jesus are the Savior "I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no Savior." —Isaiah 43:11. "Am I not Yahweh? And there is no other God besides Me. "There is no righteous God and saver besides Me" (Isaiah 45:21). "At the command of our Saviour God" (Titus 1:3). "Let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, ... there is no salvation in anyone else; For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:10, 12). "... our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13). Worship Only God Worship God "Then Jesus said to him, 'Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, "Thou shalt worship Jehovah thy God, and him only shalt thou serve" (Matt. 4:10). "I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, 'Take heed, do not do this; I am your co-servant... worship God" (Otar. 19:10; 5:11-12). Worship of Christ "Likewise, when He brings the Firstborn into the world, He says, 'And all the angels of God may worship Him' (Heb. 1:6). "... worthy is the slain Lamb to receive power... And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshipped Him who lives forever and ever" (Rev. 5:11-14).

Bible Translation

In 1945, Nathan Knorr took over Rutterford's chair. Knorr's most outstanding achievement was his leadership in completing the New World Bible translation in 1961. Of the four members of the translation committee (Frederick Franz, Knorr, Albert Skruder, and John Gangas), only Frederick Franz had anything to do with the biblical languages, having studied Greek for two years at the University of Cincinnati and being self-taught in Hebrew. Now Franz has been the head of the Watchtower Corporation since 1977. Jesus returned to earth in 1874, and his kingship was 1878, and Armageddon was supposed to begin in 1914, but after the war it was attested that Armageddon would occur in 1915, then in 1916, 1918, and 1925. The growth of the "witnesses" increased dramatically when, in 1966, Franz, in his work "Eternal Life in the Freedom of the Sons of God," established that "the seventh period of a thousand years of human history" would begin in 1975. In 1974, many "witnesses" sold their property and homes in anticipation of the event. But like all other dates set by The Watchtower, 1975 came and went without the fulfillment of the prediction. Despite these failures in their prophetic creditworthiness, the number of Witnesses has grown to 12 million in 216 countries. From their Brooklyn headquarters, known as Bethel, the leadership exercised absolute power over the "servants" and popularized their doctrine through the mass distribution of the magazines The Watchtower and Awake! The aggressive proselytism of the "witnesses" is often viewed with envy by many ideological Christians. But a closer look at their doctrines reveals fatal cracks in their polished exterior.

About the soul

"Blood is the soul" (Deuteronomy 12:23) Jehovah's Witnesses: The soul of a person is an inseparable part of the body, so when a person dies, the soul ceases to exist (Make Shur, Ol Tsing. 1953. P. 349). The Bible: Christ and the apostles taught that there is life after death (Lk. 16:19-31. Matt. 17:3. Acts. 2:31. 2 Cor. 4:16; 5:8. Phil. 1:23. Heb. 12:23. 1 Pet. 3:18-19; 4:6. Job 24:12. Open. 6:9-10). Jehovah's Witnesses: The doctrine of the immortality of the soul is a satanic fiction from the days of Adam, when it was also said, "No, ye shall not die" (Gen. 3:4) (Lat Tod Bee True, 2nd ed., p. 75). The Bible: The immortality of the soul is the inspired truth (Eccl. 12:7. 2 Cor. 5:1-6). Jehovah's Witnesses: Since there is no existence of the soul after death, Jehovah's Witnesses who die will be restored from the dust through Jehovah's information bank to dwell in His Kingdom. 1953. p. 311). Bible: The resurrection is the return of the immortal soul (which the Jehovah's Witnesses do not know) into its body (1 Kings 1:10). 17:17-24. Lk. 24:39. 1 Cor. 15:44), and will be completed when Christ returns to earth (Phil. 3:20-21, 1 Cor. 15:52).

Doctrine of salvation

Jehovah's Witnesses: Christ's death only bought for people earthly life and earthly blessings lost when Adam sinned (Spadis In Ze Skiptsers, Vol. 5, p. 145). The Bible: Christ's death has bought a true forgiveness of sins and blessings that extend beyond this earthly life (Ephesians 1:3-14). Jehovah's Witnesses: Christ's death only makes it possible for a person to attain eternal life through the fulfillment of God's Law, so there is no certainty of eternal life (Stadis In Ze Skiptsers, Vol. 1, p. 150). The Bible: Christ's death gives salvation from sin to all who by faith accept His atoning sacrifice for them (Acts 2:10). 15:11. Heb. 10:38. Eph. 2:8-9. Rom. 3:28; 5:1. Gal. 2:16; 3:11-24). Jehovah's Witnesses: The blood of Christ shed at Calvary refers only to the 144,000 elite of Jehovah's Witnesses (God's Israel), not to the "great crowd" who are the remnant of the Witnesses (Eid To Vivl Understanding, p. 389). Bible: Christ died for all people (1 Tim. 2:5-6. 2 Cor. 5:15. Heb. 2:9). Jehovah's Witnesses: A person can live in God's paradise only through (a) Bible study; b) communication with Jehovah's Witnesses; c) change in life habits and mandatory water baptism according to the rite of Jehovah's Witnesses; d) to be a preacher and witness of the Kingdom of God (Frome Paradise, Lost. pp. 242-249). The Bible: Salvation is offered only through faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior (Acts 4:10-12; 10:42-43. Rom. 3:21-24) and good works, inseparable from faith (James 2:20). The Jehovah's Witnesses: The Doctrine of a Burning Hell Where the Wicked Will Be Tortured Eternally After Death Is Incorrect (Michael Shur Ow Tsings. 1953. p. 154). The Bible: Hell is a place of eternal torment for unrepentant sinners (Matt. 13:41-50. Mk. 9:47-48. Rev. 20:11-15).

The Doctrine of God

Jehovah's Witnesses: The doctrine of God is a wrong biblical doctrine born of Satan (Mace Shur Ov Tsings. 1953. P. 386). The Bible: God is one in essence (Deut. 6:4), but the Father is threefold in persons (Phil. 2:11); Jesus Christ is the Son (John 5:18); The Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-4). Jehovah's Witnesses: Jesus Christ the Son was the original being created by Jehovah God.—Let God Bi Tru, p. 32. The Bible: Christ the Son is the eternal uncreated God (Isaiah 9:6; 44:6. Jn. 8:58. Heb. 1:8. 1 Jn. 5:20. 1 Tim. 3:16. Rev. 1:17-18). Jehovah's Witnesses: Jesus Christ was the incarnation of the Archangel Michael. Christ renewed the name "Michael" when He ascended to heaven (Yu Wil Bi Dan, p. 316; New Habens, End. p. 30). The Bible: Nowhere in its pages does it say that Michael became the Christ. On the contrary, the Bible makes a clear distinction between angels and the exalted position of Christ (Heb. 1:5-6; 13-14). Jehovah's Witnesses: Christ rose from the tomb as a spirit. Jehovah allowed Him to materialize into another body, in which He will appear to His disciples.—Yu Wil Bi Dan, On Ere, p. 143. The Bible: Jesus Christ rose in the same body that was laid in the tomb, which is explained by the traces of the crucifixion, the empty tomb, the burial clothes (Lk. 24:39. Jn. 20:1-9; 20-27). Jehovah's Witnesses: The Holy Spirit is not a person, but an impersonal active force of God (Let God Bi Tru, 2nd ed., p. 108; 1952. p. 24). The Bible: The Holy Spirit is an eternal person who possesses the whole essence of God (Matt. 12:32. Jn. 14:16-17. Acts. 5:3-4). Speaking of the name of God, let us think that behind the name of Jehovah is standing. At the oak grove of Mamre, Abraham ran to meet Jehovah. Not embarrassed by the presence of the three angels, he bowed down to the ground and said: "Lord! If I have found favor... don't pass by... and they shall bring a little water, and they shall wash your feet; and rest under this tree" (Gen. 18:1-15). And God (not the Father) enjoyed good food. Until Jehovah met Moses at the burning bush, the Hebrew word YAHVEH was not explained: "God said to Moses, I am." —Isa. 3:14. The Hebrew idiom Jehovah, translated as Eternal, means the Giver of Life. Throughout the Bible, Jehovah is described as "the Eternal," "Everlasting Father," or "Eternal Life." Why did God present Himself with the phrase "I am"? The infinitive form of the verb "I am" is "to be". "To be" expresses eternal existence (= Jehovah). Here God suppresses all skillful falsifiers. No matter what time "to be" is, it always expresses eternal existence (= Jehovah), and this is in any language. I am (= present tense from "to be") expresses eternal existence. I was (= past tense from "to be") expresses eternal existence. I will (= future tense from "to be") expresses eternal existence. Being (= adverbial participle of "to be") expresses eternal existence. I have been (= one of the past tense forms from "to be") expresses eternal existence (= Jehovah). God is ahead of the Watchtower figures who forged Jn. 8:58, turning "I am" into... "I've been." By doing so, they deliberately mislead the ignorant (cf. Luke 11:52). From its inception, Roussel's The Watchtower has been desperately trying to undermine the Revelations of the Bible that Jesus is the visible "I am" of Exod. 3:14. No one has seen the Father. However, He sent His Word (Christ), Who revealed Himself in visible form to Moses and the people. The Word that dwelt with us (John 1:14), referring to His former deeds in Jerusalem, saying: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem... how many times would I have gathered together thy children..." (Matt. 23:37). "Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was. I am" (John 8:58). They did not believe that He was Jehovah who was working among their people. "And the Jews sought to kill Him all the more, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God His Father, making Himself equal with God" (John 5:18). "We do not want to stone Thee for a good deed, but for blasphemy, and because Thou, being a man, make Thyself God" (John 10:33). The Lord made no attempt to deny this claim. His claim that He is "Eternal Life" (Jn. 8:58. Heb. 7:3. 1 Jn. 1:4) was the main argument in the Sanhedrin that led to His crucifixion. He pointed out that He is that ancient mystery of God's manifestations of "I am." To believe this was too much for the Jews. This is still too much for Jehovah's Witnesses, truly modern "Jews"! In this way, not being able to change the original Greek text, they explain it in their own way. They do not pay attention to the fact that one expression is simply "the present tense of the first person" and the other is the "participle or third person" of the same verb "to be." Both mean eternal existence = Jehovah = "I am". "There is no Saviour besides Me" (Isaiah 43:11). Then, if there is no Savior but Jehovah, the Father and the Son must share the same essence and nature. The Essence of Jehovah or the Life-Giving Essence, miraculously described by Isaiah: "Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and the Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts... besides Me there is no God" (Isaiah 44:6). Notice for yourself that Jehovah King and Jehovah of hosts (Redeemer) are one God. Thus, two spirit persons have one identical essence, and at the same time they are two persons. How so? But it is precisely this nature that the Apostle in Col. 2:2 calls God the mystery and says that this mystery is Christ, in whom dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col. 2:9). Jesus Himself says: "I and the Father are one" (one in nature and purpose, not in the sense of person and position, John 10:30). The Jehovah's Witnesses turned Christ into a created person ("Try all things." The Watchtower, transl. from English, p. 207) and into the "god" of his own teaching. They are adjusting the Bible to their fabrications — "they turn to their own destruction... Scriptures" (2 Peter 3:16). Thus, the Jehovah's Witnesses declare that the Scriptures call many gods, and therefore the Word is also god-like (The Book of Truth, transl. from English, p. 24). To prove it, they quote Isa. 9:6, where Jesus is called "the mighty God." Indeed, the Bible mentions so-called "gods." The fallen angels are the "sons of God," and Satan is even called the "god of this world." However, Isaiah continues the text by making the connection "Mighty God... The Father of Eternity." The Jews understand that no one can be called the Eternal Father (Matt. 23:9), for this means the Eternal Source of Life, because Jehovah. To quote the Book of Truth (p. 47): "The Bible informs us that He is the firstborn Son of God. This means that He was created before the other sons of God's family." For them, what is born and what is created is one. But born is when Life comes from another similar Life. Creation is the creation of something out of nothing or out of matter. Christ is born of God, which is why the Bible uses the term "Only-begotten" (i.e., the only one who was begotten). The Bible describes Christ as coming from God (John 8:42; 13:3). Just as the Father is the source of divinity, so the Son becomes a manifestation of divinity. Christ is the radiance of His glory (Heb. 1:3. Jn. 1:14). The Bible says, "God is the sun" (Ps. 83:12), and we can say with certainty that Christ is His rays. God is "a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29), Whom no man can see and live, but Christ came and revealed the Father in a visible form: "He who has seen Me has seen the Father also" (John 14:9). In fact, He says: if you have seen Me, you have seen God. Just as the sun never existed without its rays, so God never existed without the Word (Christ). Together they share an eternal essence. Various names of the Creator characterize the diversity of His properties in relation to man. In other words, we call the Creator by the name that reveals His qualities to us in our sensations: Merciful, Just, Terrible, Terrible, Far or Near. The Creator Himself, as has been pointed out many times, is not comprehensible to us. Only the light that comes from Him, or rather, that part of the light that enters the "kli" (us) and evokes the feelings by which we call the Creator. According to Jewish tradition, every word, every sign in the Torah carries information about the Creator, His revelation to the creatures, which is why Talmudic Jews say that the entire Torah is the names of the Creator. The light emanating from the Creator carries within it the germ of the future creation, and therefore this hidden form of creation in the outgoing light is designated by a point, for a point is the beginning of any image. Keter. On the basis of new discoveries, scientists give new explanations for the origin of the world. The most famous hypothesis of our time belongs to the Belgian scientist, professor at the University of Louvain, and a student of Eddington, a Catholic priest, Father Lemaître. In his opinion, in the beginning there was a giant radioactive atom, something like "a package of matter in a condensed state." Exploding or, scientifically speaking, disintegrating, it formed nebulae and myriads of stars. This can be compared to a giant fireworks exploding from a small cartridge. The only difference is that the explosion continued for several tens of billions of years and continues to spread in space (which we hear through interference in the ether). So, the point is called a keter. Then comes the spread of light into the "Kli" (in us) so far without a reaction from the latter. This stage is called chochma among the Jews, it is denoted by a dot and a small line coming out of it, the trace of which leaves a trace in the "kli" of "us". Joke. This is the Hebrew letter yud. Next comes bina. Bina expresses the reaction of the Kli to the Light. Therefore, it is indicated by the spread of the line in breadth. Bina corresponds to the letter hei. Despite the fact that there is no concept of place in the spiritual world, the language of the branches is used to express the correspondence of spiritual forces, and therefore the action of the letter Hay, called "Ohr Hassadim", begins with spreading in breadth (hesed – mercy, wide hand, big heart, breadth of soul) and continues with writing from top to bottom ("or hochma") – from the Creator to the creatures. All the lines depicted horizontally imply the action of "Ohr Hasalim" (i.e. the manifestation of Divine love and all the best qualities of God as Perfection without reference to us), and the vertical lines correspond to the spread of these perfections from top to bottom – from the Creator to the creatures: Here are the letters that make up the name of the Creator: The unpronounceable four-letter name of the Creator – Abaya – has a deep mystical meaning and, as mentioned above, the Jews say that the entire Torah is the names of the Creator. There are ten indelible names (indelible - since if a mistake is made in their spelling, correction is forbidden and the scroll is interred). The true meaning of knowing His name is to enjoy the Creator. Therefore, when Jehovah's Witnesses carelessly carry the Bible in their pocket, excuse me, trousers (which is often the case) or juggle the name of the Creator, then these people are far from the shrine to which they pharisaically point.

Polemics about the God-Humanity of Christ

Question to Jehovah's Witnesses: Tell me, can God have a beginning of days, an end, a father or a mother? Answer: Of course not, and this cannot be the case. Then open and read aloud to them Hebrews 7:1-8: "Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, being like the Son of God, abides as a priest forever." Now compare the spiritual reality of Melchizedek (the most mysterious person in the Bible) and Jesus Christ. Can we say that Jesus is "created" if Melchizedek is likened to Him, who has no "beginning of days"? Another question you may ask is: Can anything or anyone other than God give eternal life? The answer is natural, that creation can neither give such life nor maintain eternal life, because it has no life in itself. Then read the verse they are familiar with: "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; and no man shall snatch them out of my hand." This is what the God-Man Jesus Christ said, for no man, no angel, no spiritual creature or "son of God" (the interpretation of the Jehovists) can give eternal life, as God does.
