Actually, JWs _were_ targeted by the Nazis and put into concentration
camps, along with other political prisoners and malcontents. Their
singular devotion to Jehovah had no place in Germany where the state
was god. In his autobiography, Aushwitz Commandant Rudolf Hoess
recounts the remarkable strength and devotion to their religion
exhibited by JW prisoners, even to their deaths, which in his eyes,
most seemed to welcome.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God (ho
theos),and the Word was [God,god] (theos).


To clearly explain this, let us use an illustration.
e.g. (Human Judge - Jim)

In the year 1950 (beginning) was the human judge, and the human judge was
with God (ho theos), and the human judge was [god /a god/ or God]
(theos).

In the last phrase, “the human judge was theos” NOT “ho theos”, will you
translate the “theos” to God or god? Definitely, a Christian will
translate the “theos” in the last phrase as “god” not “God” because if you
translate it to “God” it means that you have two Gods and that the human
judge is THE GOD. (This is the same with the Word was with God, If Word is
God, then God is with God, this is wrong because there is only one God).

In John 1:1, the “theos” without the “ho” has become qualitative. No
wonder other Bible translators translate John 1:1 as “the word was divine”
/ ““and of a divine kind was the Word”/ “the Word was god/a god”

That without love, one is nothing.

However, with tongue-in-cheek one can be funny. Bart and I are old
friends, he knows I was teasing him, because we both agree that
salvation is not initiated by man, nor is based on any positive quality
in man.

I am catholic, but I agree with this. God is so far above the manhood,
that we cannot add anything to Him, to His will
