An Open Letter To Jehovah's Witnesses

I invite you to take just a few minutes to look with me into Jehovah’s Holy Word. I believe we both want to worship Jehovah with spirit and truth (John 4:24). I would like to show you something from Jehovah’s book, the Bible, you may have never seen before. Please take the time to examine this information carefully.

I believe you would agree all scripture is inspired of God (2 Timothy 3:16). The Bible is written by several writers but inspired (breathed) by one all-knowing, all-wise God. There are no mistakes or contradictions in the Scriptures because they all originate in the mind of Jehovah.

You may be surprised to know in chapter 2 of Genesis we are introduced to the name Jehovah Elohiym. This includes God’s name and title. Notice in Genesis 2:4 it was Jehovah God that made earth and heaven. Again in Genesis 2:7 Jehovah God formed the first man out of dust from the ground. Genesis 2:19 says, “Now Jehovah God was forming from the ground every wild beast of the field and every flying creature of the heavens…” (NWT) showing it was Jehovah creating all things.

I found John 1:3 to be very interesting in the light of the Genesis passages. John 1:3 says, “All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.” (NWT) Then verse 10 says, “He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, but the world did not know him.” (NWT) We both would agree these two passages are speaking of Jesus.

These passages agree with Colossians 1:15-16 that says, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him.” (NWT)

I would like you to consider the question, “Who created the earth and all living things?” According to Genesis 2:4, 7, 19 it was Jehovah God that formed man and the animals. According to John 1:3, 10, and Colossians 1:15-16, it was Jesus that formed man and the animals. Since we know Jehovah does not contradict Himself, the only way for this to be possible is if Jesus is Jehovah.

We would both agree that Scripture must never conflict with Scripture since they are given from one Supreme Author, Jehovah. Is there any other evidence that supports this idea? Yes. Look in Matthew 1:23 as it quotes from Isaiah 7:14, “Look! The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel, which means “With Us Is God.””

This is also confirmed in his list of titles found in Isaiah 9:6, “For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” Notice the names “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father”.

Isaiah 10:21 says, “A mere remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God.” And Jeremiah 32:18 says, “the One exercising loving-kindness toward thousands, and repaying the error of the fathers into the bosom of their sons after them, the [true] God, the great One, the mighty One, Jehovah of armies being his name,” The Mighty God can only refer to Jehovah and yet it is being used for Jesus. Giving even more evidence it the name “Eternal Father”. How is a baby, just recently born, able to be called “Eternal Father”? The only Eternal Father we have is Jehovah, and the only way for this to be true is for Jesus to be Jehovah.

There is more evidence showing Jesus is Jehovah. In Matthew 3:1-3 it says John the Baptist came to prepare the way of Jehovah. Matthew 3:3 says, “… “Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Jehovah, you people!” John the Baptist was preparing the way of Jesus. Jesus even claimed to be Jehovah. When he was being tempted by the Devil, Jesus said in Matthew 4:7, “Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You must not put Jehovah your God to the test.’” Who was the Devil testing? Jesus, and Jesus told the Devil to not put Jehovah to the test. The only way for this passage to be understood is for Jesus to be claiming to be Jehovah.

You probably have doubts and are wondering how this can be true. The evidence is clear in Scripture, Jesus is Jehovah. That is a fact that you can not overrule with other Scripture. Scripture does not conflict with Scripture, Scripture enhances Scripture. Thank you for your attention, and I hope this helps you to investigate the Scriptures more, not in the light of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, but in the light of Scripture. Commit your life to Jesus as the True Jehovah.
