I for one found that pretty convincing. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
After citing the Bible as not affirming Christ’s divinity, the Elect are then shown to believe things so alien to either a literal or metaphorical reading of the Bible that I am led to ask: are they reading something different to us?
And of course, they are.
The JWs are up there with Mormonism for sheer, unfettered creativity in doctrine. Not that it is very good creativity – B-grade movie stuff really. Could do better…
I wonder how they explain how you get from ‘Logos’ to ‘Michael’ to ‘Jesus’, because there doesn’t seem to be any reason in Scripture or otherwise to suggest the archangel bridge there.
The link between the Logos and Jesus is the same one which we’d make (John 1).
The link between Jesus and Michael is rather convoluted. The argument I heard before was based on 1 Thessalonians 4:16:
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first…”
It is asserted that if the Lord comes “with the voice of the archangel” then the Lord is himself an archangel. And what’s the name of an archangel we know from Scripture? Michael.
