Answer 2

The only begotten Son of God, the only Son produced by Jehovah alone. This Son is the" firstborn of all creation". By means of him all other things in heaven and on earth were created. He is the second greatest personage in the universe.

It is this Son whom Jehovah sent to the earth to give his life as a ransom for mankind, thus opening the way to eternal life for those of Adam's offspring who would exercise faith. This same Son restored to heavenly glory, now rules as King, with authority to destroy all the wicked and to carry out his Father's original purpose for the earth.

The Hebrew form of the name Jesus means "Jehovah Is Salvation"; Christ is the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma-shi'ach ( messiah), meaning "Anointed One." In Revelation 3:12 Jesus four times, in that verse refers to Jehovah as " My God. " and says that, to those of his followers that conquer, he will write upon them "the name of my God. "

They believe the trinity teaching is from ancient Babylon and the word or idea of a three in one God does not appear in Holy Scripture. Individually - they- in prayer, like Jesus, address Jehovah as "my God".
