There are certain people in this world who wish to deny that Jesus Christ is God for whatever reason. So much so that they change the Bible in order to justify this Satanic perversion. As the Bible itself says:
“Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, and ye shall not take from it: keep the commandments of the Lord our God, all that I command you this day.”
Theologians Bible
Then it says again:
“18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, may God take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.”
Theologians Bible
If the Lord says this in both the Old and the New Testaments, you must fear His coming judgement. The translators of the New World Version of the Holy Bible, i.e. the Jehovah Witnesses, will face the judgment the very Bible they translated told them they will face. Let us direct our attention to John 1:1.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
(John 1:1)
Theologians Bible
Who is the Word? Verse 14 tells us:
“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Theologians Bible
The Bible of the Jehovah witnesses mistranslate this, because they know this destroys their Satanic fabrication:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.”
No Greek Manuscript in the history of Christianity has ever used the indefinite article “a”. This is specifically ironic that their website even has a Greek interlinear Bible and gives the correct “καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος” and the world was God, or how they rendered it “and God was the Word.” (https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/kingdom-interlinear-greek-translation/books/john/1/).
They changed the Bible in order to justify their claim that Jesus Christ is not God. They also did this with Colossians 1:16-17. They think they have us beat with verse 15, “The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.”
Theologians Bible
But then why did they have to change the following verses by adding the word “other?”
“Because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him.” (https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/colossians/1/#v51001016).
Every Greek manuscript is in agreement:
“For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.”
Theologians Bible
There is no Biblical manuscript in existence that contains the word "other" in Colossians 1:16-17 as rendered in their “bible” ; this is a blatant rewriting of the Bible to try and change Paul’s original point. The original point was that all things were made through CHRIST as John 1 affirms:
“1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.”
Theologians Bible
This is why they had to change it because if He were a creature, He would have to create Himself, which is impossible.
Now let us go back to “The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.” The word for firstborn here is “πρωτότοκος” (pro-tot-ok’-os). This word is used literally or figuratively, here it is used figuratively, as it is used figuratively in the Septuagint rendering of Exodus 4:22: “And thou shalt say to Pharao, These things saith the Lord, Israel is my first-born.” The same Greek word is used here “πρωτότοκος”.
God said that he will make David “πρωτότοκος” first-born,
“27 He shall call upon me, saying, Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation. 28 And I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth.”
Theologians Bible
David was the youngest of all his brothers, what does God mean he will make him first-born? To refer to something as first-born in the ancient world is to refer to the practice that the first-born son was the executor of the father's estate. Christ holds the ultimate "birthright" over everything that exists because He is its Creator, not a part of it.
"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.'"
Theologians Bible
They also know that John 8:58 is another significant proof that Jesus Christ is the God of the burning bush, this is why they had to change it again. This is such a stumbling block for them because he applies the name of God to Himself. The God of the burning bush says in Exodus:
“This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
What does Jesus of the New Testament say he is?
“‘Very truly I tell you,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I AM!’ At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.”
But they do not have this in their "bible".
Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I have been.

There is nothing more to say other than this, I rest my case.
