Series Summary

When I began this “Watchtower Misconceptions About Jesus” series, I said:

“We’ll look at what the Watchtower teaches about Jesus, in what ways they are in error, and how we can get through to Jehovah’s Witnesses regarding what the Bible actually says about him.”

So what happened to it?

The Watchtower insists that it was not raised from the dead: Continue reading

Did Jesus Prophesy Falsely in John 2?

An interesting question to ask Jehovah’s Witnesses is, “Did Jesus make a false prophecy in John 2?”

Now, no Jehovah’s Witness would ever say that Jesus uttered a false prophecy, but what he predicted in John 2 completely contradicts Watchtower teachings. Continue reading
