"Jehovah's Witnesses" and Datone Debate
Among other things, "Jehovah's Witnesses" believe Jesus was "a God."  They believe he was/is actually, Michael the archangel.


I attempted to begin the debate with the two following questions:

1)  In what sense do you believe Jesus was "a god"? Are you referring to Ps 82:6 " I have
said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."? Do you believe we
are(or will be) "gods" in a similar sense that Jesus was/is "a god"? Do you believe he was
a different kind of *a god* while on earth for thirty-three years than he was before he was
made flesh? In ANY WAY a different "god"(free moral agent) than we are now?

2)  I understand you believe Jesus was the angel "Michael"(from Daniel) made flesh and laid in Bethlehem. Is this correct? Why do you find this(Michael is Jesus) a necessary part of your dogma? Frankly, I am troubled by this. Jesus said, "A spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have."(Lu 24:39) Yet, if Jesus was an angel(Heb 1:14 says "they are
ministering SPIRITS") then that means he was only superficially a human?; and yet how
can an angel be made slightly lower than an angel-- "made like unto his brethren in ALL
things"??? How can men be his brethren when in fact his fellow angels are more
genuinely an angel's "brethren"/equals?

I may have many more questions, depending on the answers to my above question.



Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a JW willing to answer the above questions.  If you are a JW with answers, who would like to proceed with the debate, please contact me datone@netscape.net
