Greetings Don, please excuse my intrusion between you and DLL, I'll try and be very brief. Almighty God made a promise to Adam according to Genesis 3:15, that He would redeem Mankind by the promise of sending a Saviour to the earth. This first covenant made with man can be traced throughout the Old Testament with ever increasing visibility of its impending fullfillment, that being realized, by the divine birth of the Lord Jesus Christ nearly 2000 years ago. Only Man can redeem man, therefore God in His Wisdom, became one of us in the person of Jesus Christ. John 1:1, IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. John 1:14, " AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONGST US.................... . This WORD is God who has taken a physical human body like ours, yet sinless, in order to bring about His marvellous redemption promised to Adam and all Mankind. Your translation , " the New World Translation " used by Jehovah witnesses is fatally flawed as it changes the Holy scriptures to try and deny the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is done in John 1:1, by inserting "a ", and the Word was a God. Don, with respect to you as a person with excellent writing capabilities, I must state that since you have not been " born again ", thus having the Holy Spirit of God dwelling within you, you are spiritually blinded to be able to see the truth in the scriptures of who Jesus really is. You have no problem seeing His humanity but are blinded to seeing that He is also Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ( Isaiah 9:6). May the Lord of Glory grant you to behold the Eternal Son, that you may come to know the Eternal Father. I leave you with my brother in Christ DLL , who is able to declare that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Robert
