Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself ... That unto me every knee shall bow
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow
In all my days of regular pioneering, I never made this connection. This probably didn't make the Trinity brochure top scripture list either.
Keep reading, Perry, it gets worse. The NT made something of a habit of applying OT passages to Jesus, when the referent in the OT was YHWH. Pioneering didn't prepare you for that? Shocking!
I am sure the WTS would have an "interesting" explanation backed by the unknown scholar to explain it...
Its a transference ceremony, the one time prince who became a king.
Now go and help feed the hungry and plant a tree.
Terry, good connection. At church today the epistle lesson was Romans 11: 1-2, 29-36. Something about verse 36 got me thinking. So I went home an read it in the NWT. They changed it! Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but read it for yourself to see how they changed it. KJV reads: For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. The NWT reads: Because from him and by him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen. What do you think? peacetoall paulnotsaul
Perry,
Walter Martin mentioned that connection in his tape on the Trinity.
There are a lot of similar references there.
There is probably more cussing in Jesus' name than there is knee bowing.

Keep making connections. We all have a long way to go. Fortunately... connections is a specialty of the biological neural network.
