There is a man at my work who is a Jehovahs witness. We talk a lot and have many moral principles in common.
I recently asked him for literature about the JW, esspecially concerning Jesus Christ not being God.
I am in the process of refuting his literature and digging up all the passages in the Bible that state that Christ is God.
In particular I'm wondering if Isaiah 66 could be used. We know it is Jesus speaking because in vs 2 He says "for all these things hath mine hand made,..." JWs agree that Jesus created all things but the term "Lord" has nothing to do with God for them. They want to see the word "God" as proof and they want it to be in the King James version. If you go down to verse 9 at the end it says: "...saith thy God".
Is this refering to Jesus? Or another part of the Godhead? Or is it inconclusive? Please give me help on this. If it is inconclusive I will not be using it.
Ps. I'm using a book called "Jesus is both God and Man" by stuart olyott. If anyone has any other books or advice it would be much appreciated! By the way his name is Sam if anyone is so inclined to say a prayer for him.
Thanks in advance!
