The Watchtower Reprints, April 15, 1893, p. 1515
"It is since his resurrection that the message has gone
forth - 'All power in heaven and in earth is given unto me.'
(Matt. 28:18) Consequently it is only since then that he
could be called the Almighty (as in Rev. 1:8)"
The Watchtower Reprints, December 1, 1903, p.
3282
"But he could justify only such as believed in Jesus; and
how could they believe on him of whom they had not heard,
and with out a preacher sent of God? (Rom. 10:14)"
The Finished Mystery (SS-7), 1917 ed., p. 15
"1:8, I am THE Alpha and I AM ALSO THE Omega. - Alpha is
the first letter, and Omega the last letter, of the Greek
alphabet. The Beginning and the Ending. -Our Lord's great
honor is shown in that He was not only the first of God's
creation, but the last. From this we are to understand that
the great Jehovah did not directly employ His own power in
creating either men or angels; but that He delegated His
power to His Only-begotten Son. -Z. '93-115; Rev. 1:4;
16:5-7."
The Finished Mystery (SS-7), 1917 ed., p. 318
"21:6, And He (said) SAITH unto me, (it is done,) I am
Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.-" It was the
Father's good pleasure that the Blessed One, the Only
Begotten of the Father, should accomplish the entire program
of redemption and restitution;"
The Word Who Is He? According to John, 1962 ed.,
p. 4-5
"Of course, the Bible reader who uses the generally
accepted versions or translations will at once say; 'Why,
there should be no difficulty about knowing who the Word is.
It plainly says that the Word is God; and God is God.' But,
in answer, we must say that not all our newer modern
translations by Greek scholars read that way,ÉSo in
the above-quoted Bible translations we are confronted with
the expressions 'God' 'divine' 'god of a sort,' 'god, and 'a
god,' Men who teach a triune God, Trinity, strongly object
to the translation 'a god.'
They say, among other things, that it means to believe in
polytheism. Or they call it Unitarianism or Arianism."
The Word Who Is He? According to John, 1962 ed., p.
40
"So again we note that Jesus never spoke of himself as
God or called himself God. He always put himself below God
rather than on an equality with God."
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 485
"Jesus Christ Not One God with the Father
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 485
"The Father is Jesus' God"
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 485
"Jesus called his Father the "only true God," excluding
himself"
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 485
"Jesus is the Son of God, not God the Son"
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 486
"Jesus is, not God, but Mediator between God and men"
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 486
"Jesus did not claim to be God, but God's
representative"
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 486
"Jesus Not Equal to the Father in Power and Glory, but
Subject to Him"
Make Sure, 1965 ed., p. 486
"Even in heaven he is subject to the Father"

of True Christians."
Kingdom Interlinear Translation, 1985 ed., p. 529
Reference to Jesus as "Ho Theos"
The Watchtower, July 1, 1986, p. 31
"The title ho theos (the God, or God) which now
designates the Father as a personal reality, is not applied
in the N(ew) T(estament) to Jesus Himself."
Should You Believe in the Trinity, 1989 ed., p.
14
"Jesus, in his prehuman existence, was 'the first-born of
all creation.' (Colossians 1:15, NJB) He was 'the beginning
of God's creation.' (Revelation 3:14, RS, Catholic edition).
'Beginning' (Greek, ar-khe') cannot rightly be interpreted
to mean that Jesus was the 'beginner' of God's creation. In
his Bible writings, John uses various forms of the Greek
work ar-khe' more than 20 times, and these always have the
common meaning of 'beginning.' Yes, Jesus was created by God
as the beginning of God's invisible creations."
Should You Believe in the Trinity, 1989 ed., p.15
"The Bible calls Jesus the 'only-begotten Son' of God.
(John 1:14; 3:16, 18: 1 John 4:9) Trinitarians say that
since God is eternal, so the Son of God is eternal. But how
can a person be a son and at the same time be as old as his
father?"
Knowledge That Leads to Everlasting Life, 1995 ed., p.
32
"Others have distorted Jesus' role, worshipping him as
Almighty God."
Knowledge That Leads to Everlasting Life, 1995 ed., p.
39
"Jesus was called God's 'only begotten Son' because
Jehovah created him directly. (John 3:16) As 'the firstborn
of all creation,' Jesus was then used by God to create all
other things. (Colossians 1:15; Revelation 3:14)"
