Let it be noted that
Benjamin Wilson was a
CHRISTADE LPHIAN,
and was thus biased in his
translation of John 1:1
and that he was not a
Greek scholar but merely
a newspaper editor (not
demeaning editors as
such). He had n
knowledge of the Greek
and merely by comparing
other versions, created
his own.
However, what Mr.
Barney failed to mention
is the fact that in his right
hand column he was
honest enough to render it
"and the Word was God".
if iVIr. Barney has a copy
of said dialogue, he will
be able to see that for
himself. There are un-
fortunately a lot of do-it-
yourselfers around in this
world who like to pose as
Greek scholars (such as
in the case with the
Watchtower mistran-
slators).
Lortest as 'well as frai*
Now to be honest Mr.
Barney- How in the world
can a person correctly
render a passage into
English or any language
for that matter from the
Greek, when one has no
knowledge of the Greek?
Joseph Smith, the
Mormon "prophet" also
produced his complete
"Bible" and he had no
knowledge of Greek
e' her!
' P, for one, would not put
my complete trust in a
person who claims to be a
Greek scholar but can't
read Greek, just as I
would not put my life in
the hands of a doctor who
never studied medicine.
I agree with Mr.
Barney's statement that
"let's be honest as well as
frank in discussing God's
The Witnesses and
their bedfellows, the
Unitarians,
Christadelphia•ns, etc.,
will try to escape the
condemning evidence of
John 1:1 by boldly

Translation Bible to
Church must
have spiritual
basis for change
This year again the
annual ,meeting of the
Anglican Church Women
of Huron Diocese met at
St. James Church,
London. It was an im-
pressive' demonstration
of faith ' by over 700
women.
The theme of the day
was, "And who is my
neighbour?" The
Reverend Peter Hamel,
consultant for the
Anglican Church in
scientific and Christian_
concerns, spoke
movingly of our
responsibilities as
residents in today's
world. As a naturalist and
ecologist,, he, began as a
bird -watcher in London
during the 1950s.
He began by saying,
"The basis of our concern
about social issues has to
be a spiritual one. We find
out the needs of people
and translate our faith
into finding ' ways of
meeting them. How can
we survive unless we
include our environment
in our concerns? Con-
sider that the Bible itself
is a most radical book."
. He quoted the native
people of Canada who
say, "We cannot let the
white man destroy
everything we had before
he came".
"We must listen to
what they are saying. To
them, all life is divine.
The Verger Inquiry
brought out the fact that
their struggle is ours. For
instance, to them land is
an old friend, their life
and their hope. Often we
exploit the land, use it up,
hoard it or deface it. We
are a part of creation, not.
above it," he said,
"Naturally, one great
task is to develop as,
quickly as possible our
ren.e-wable racnllrees and
to cure waste. We need to
bring about change in
people who cause the
- problems, beginning with
ourselves, and then. by
speaking out. Anglicans
have been too polite to

continued. ,
"A way to begin is to
gather ourselves together
and talk about the issues,
(i.e.) energy, and where
it should come from, how
to stop exploitation of
people and resources - the
loss of agricultural land
in southwestern Ontario.
Find a common ground
with all in learning to live
within our,means on this
planet. We are called to

acting responsihl-y,

concluded.

read: "originally t'he
Word was, and the Word
was with God, and the
Word was a God" - 1950
EDITION NWT. Their
attempt to reduce Christ
to the position of "a gpd,"
a secondary god, is
refuted by the following
evidence.
In the Watchtower of
March 1, 1959, page 150,
the J.W.s stoutly
maintain that l' -`the one
and only true GQd is
Jehovah".
This is indeed correct.
However, since Jehovah
is the one and only true
God (and the Witnesses
have just admitted this),
then logically EVERY
OTHER GOD EXCEPT
JEHOVAH MUST BE A
FALSE GOD.
We thus see_ that the
Witnesses unwittingly
make Christ out to 'be
false god in John 1:1,by
declaring that He is "a
god," but., not the God
Jehovah. The Witnesses
admit that it is im-
possible for TWO tr'ue
Gods to exist. They. have
admitted this by the very
fact that the Watchtower
has stated: "The one and
only true God is
Jehovah."
Their "a god" theory is
further refuted by the
fact that Jehovah makes
this declaration: "See
now that I, even I am He,
and there is no God with
me". (Deuteronomy
32:39).
What does Jehovah say
here? He declares,
"There is no God with
Me".
Where, . then did the
Watchtower Society ever
dig up the teaching that
their big God Jehovah
has a smaller god called
Christ with Him in
Heaven? According to
this text, there is only one
God in Heaven and that
one God is Jehovah.
There is no such thing as
any created lesser god in
Heaven as the. Witnesses
teach.
Those of 'the Wat-
chtower persuasion are
forced here to accept
either one of two things.
Either they must believe
(as all true Christians do)
-that Christ is one with the
Father, and is also
Jehovah, or else they
must believe that Christ
is not even "a god".
There is no other alter-
native.
The Witnesses are here
caught in their own
heretical trap, that they
continually are setting
for others.
Yes, indeed, Mr.
Barney, "let's be honest
as well as frank in
discussing God's Word."
Sincerely yours,
Daniel D'Haene,
Lambeth, Ontario.
Cons' derable research done
Dear Editor,
I would appreciate it
very much if you could
publish this article on
Jehovah's Witnesses and
their False Predictions

I have gone to con-

research this subject and
it is all documented with
actual quotes from
Watchtower publications..
I believe it would be of
interest to all Christians

denominations.
