Spike, the canon of the NWT is a copy of the canon of the RCC of the 4th/5th century, the great ahrlot, the great babylon !!
I am surprised that the WT kept it to be truthful.
But the way, YOUR canon does claim it, in Daniel, "ONE of the chief Princes..."
the RCC CANON is larger than the NWT CANON. the RCC CANON contains the deuterocanonical books, as does the KJV, whereas the NWT CANON does NOT.
Kind of missed the point eh dude?
By the way, when Jesus selected the WT in 1919, what bible were they following and still followed for DECADES after that?
I think some here are making the issue too complex. Just think of Jesus/Michael being like the "Wheel within a Wheel" in Ezekiel. It's like 2 wheels in one. They can be spinning in different directions but going the same way. Jesus and Michael could be riding their respective horses in different directions but always ending up in the same place. Hope this helps. Rub a Dub |
thansk rubadub that helps a lot actually - I can see the need for a 2 hi-horstatic union though - still keeping it simple
It was NOT the KJV. It was either the Authorised Version of 1769, or the American Revision of 1901; both of which had dropped the deuterocanonical books.
the low-status angel is standing, the high-status angel is sitting.
chief princes doesn't necessarily mean archangel, does it?
Spike, actually many still used the KJV, I though you knew that.
And have you looked at what the verison you mentioned said? John 1:1 for example? Romans 10:13? Colossians? Philipians, etc, etc?
Spike,
What did "chief princes" mean then?
By the way, do you know why no angels were ever mentioned ( by name) before Daniel?
Christianity does not teach that the Son is composed of two persons:
“If the pivotal assertion of the New Testament, “The Word was made flesh” (Jn 1.14), means anything, it signifies that two, the divine and the human, became somehow uniquely one in Jesus of Nazareth; that in Him was achieved a union, elsewhere unparalleled of God with man” (ibid., 918).
The Church believes that Jesus Christ is true God, Son of God made man, the Second person of the Trinity, who took unto Himself a human nature and so exists not only in the divine but also in a human nature: one divine Person in two natures. The man who in His earthly life was known as Jesus of Nazareth was not a human person made one, as Nestorius said, in a unique way of moral unity, with the Person of the Son of God. He was God, Son of the Father, made man for men’s salvation. (ibid., 932)
“His human nature, perfect and complete, was not a human person distinct from the Divine person of the Word … it was the human nature of a Divine Person. This point of our faith enwraps the humanity of Christ in full mystery. … His human life included true human knowledge and a human will distinct from the divine will” (ibid., 936).
Our faith in Christ, the God-man, supposes that his humanity is not a human person (the mystery). For if it were, and if there were a duality of persons in Christ, then the Divine Person would not really be man but only united with a man; Christ would not be what our faith says he is.” (ibid., 937)
