God doesn't give glory to anyone else!

In the New World Translation and in the Bible, we read...

- I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else, nor my praise to graven images. Isaiah 42:8

Certainly, there is only one God, and no one else, nothing else is worthy of worship or the Glory that belongs to him. 

- So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was. John 17:5 

Footnotes for 17:5 given in the New World Translation. 

world: The Greek word koʹsmos here apparently refers to the world of mankind.​

Compare study note on John 17:24. I have provided that verse for you here. 

- Father, I want those whom you have given me to be with me where I am, in order that they may look upon my glory that you have given me, because you loved me before the founding of the world. John 17:24

Think! 

If God does not share his glory with anyone as Isaiah says, Jesus must be God since he shares in God's glory even before the world was made. 

More on the New World Translation footnotes. 

Consider these passages which tell us about the nature of Jesus... 

- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. John 1:1

- Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I have been.” John 8:58

- He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; Colossians 1:15

Let's consider...

If Jesus was in the beginning with God, and if he is the image of the invisible God, and "a god" as in John 1:1 says in the New World Translation, then Jesus is God, because there is only one God. And God doesn't share his glory with anyone but himself. 

We read in Isaiah...

- ..Before me no God was formed, And after me there has been none. Isaiah 43:10) 

Do you believe this?

Is Jesus really present in bread and wine?

Defending The Real Presence of Christ in The Eucharist using the New World Translation.   JW's Come Home to The Catholic Church     Before you click away from this article I would like to ask you to prayerfully and patiently consider what I am showing you. I will explain the term "Eucharist" at the end of this presentation. But to be clear when I use the term "Eucharist" I am referring to Christ's true and physical presence in the form of bread and wine.  It is a well known fact that many who are Jehovah's Witnesses were actually raised, more or less as, Catholics.  It truly saddens me to think about all of the many baptized Catholics  who walk away from Christ in The Eucharist.  It saddens me because Christ wants us to follow him wherever he asks us to go and to believe in him no matter what and no matter how difficult the teaching seems to be.  Do you believe Jesus wants us to follow him? This article is about the Gospel of John chapter 6...

Is Jesus a false god or the real God?

Is Jesus, The True Light, The Word of God and God made man or a false god? In my opinion there are no other options especially when we read scripture for ourself. Jesus is either God or he is not. And if he is not while claiming to be divine, he is a false god among many.    Let's have the scriptures tell us!  Underlines added Using the NWT JW bible and KJV for context comparisons

Is Jesus, Mighty God?

The Scripture that I am using here is from the New World Translation.  My emphasis added with underlining :) Jesus, the child born to us is God!  - For a child has been born to us, A son has been given to us; And the rulership will rest on his shoulder. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God , Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6) - She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All of this actually came about to fulfill what was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying:   “Look! The virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and they will name him Im·manʹu·el,” which means, when translated, “With Us Is God.”  (Matt 1:21-23) We know these verses are referring to Jesus, who is "the child born to us" to rule over us, and to save us from our sins. Yet this child has a name,  "Mighty God"  They will name him (and we know this is referring to the child J...
