Jesus is Creator God in the New World Translation
[Jehovah's Witness Bible]

ften times a Jehovah's Witness will claim that Jesus is not the Creator of all things by quoting from their translation of the Bible [the New World Translation] in Colossians 1:16.

Colossians 1:16 in the New World Translation:
"because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth...All [other] things have been created through him and for him."
The idea here is that Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jesus was himself created by Jehovah God. Therefore Jesus cannot be God, they claim.
If Jesus did indeed create every single thing then he himself could not be created, since a creature cannot create himself! So the NWT places the word "other" in the text of Colossians 1:16 so that they can say that he made all other things [exception being himself].

Colossians 1:16 in the original Greek:
A thorough study of the Greek text will show that the word "other" is nowhere to be found in the text. Even the NWT writers place the word "other" in brackets to show that they believe it to be implied rather than outright stated.

Did you know that the Jehovah's Witness Bible emphatically states that Jesus is the Creator of every single thing, making Him therefore uncreated [since a creature cannot create himself]?

John 1:3 in the New World Translation:
"All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence." [emphasis added]
Amazingly, God has protected His Word to the point that even those who seek to alter it by removing references to the Deity of Christ have not been able to remove every reference! In their own Bible we find that Jesus is the Creator of every single thing. And since not even one thing came into existence apart from Him, then He must Himself not be created!

And if Jesus isn't created, then He must be God!

And all of this from the Jehovah's Witness Bible!
