What that means is that JW's cannot use only-begotten to prove Jesus is a creature because the Greek does not necessarily mean that. In discussing whether "mono-genes" (only-begotten) means "comparison or source" Kittel flatly states first " In compounds with genes, adverbs describe the nature rather than the source of derivation " then " Grammatically both interpretations are justifiable".Notice that although Kittel admits, like all Trinitarians do, that the developed doctrine of the Nicene Trinity is not in the Scripture, but that early Christians believed Jesus was divine and rejected Jesus was a creature !.By creating a false dilemma and selective quoting, they deceive the reader into drawing a false conclusion.But notice that Kittle dismisses this possible thought and gives his opinion that trinitarian doctrine had it origin in the Old Testament, and not PAGANISM. Kittel's comments do not exclude the Arian view (JW's) of God from his comment, for JW's are just as "polythesitic" as trinitarians, FROM A PAGAN POINT OF VIEW.Kittle refers to the threefold formulae IN THE BIBLE ITSELF, not later trinitarian dogma! Do Arians believe that polytheism influenced the text in 2 Cor 13:13 and Mt 28:19?.The way Jehovah's Witnesses misuse and misrepresent Kittel's work is Satanic!.Should you believe the Trinity?, Watchtower publication.JW's Quote Kittel in such a way as to leave the impression that he is not a trinitarian or one with no Bible basis. ![]() Kittel, Gerhard: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament ![]()
