An Open Letter
by Tortured Conscience

Album: One Law One King

They
Have lied to you

Verse 1
If you insist that we
Must translate those that don't
Have the definite article "the"
As "a god" not "God"

Then what do you do with all
The 282 times
The New Testament says "theos"
With no article at all?

Verse 2
Are we to translate
2nd Corinthians 5:19
As "a god was in Christ"?
How absurd that would be!

Just look at John chapter one
To see that the Watchtower
Have always been lying to you
Verses 6, 12, 13, and 18

Verse 3
Where do you see the definite
Article in any of those?
Can't you see how your leaders
Have
betrayed you?

What John teaches is
That the Word is eternal
The Word is holy personal
And the Word is deity

Chorus
They have been
Lying to you
They have been
Lying to you
They have been
Lying to you
The Watchtower lies to you

Verse 4
The word for "firstborn"
Is "prototokos" (pro-tah-tuh-kause)
Meaning "special or " "unique" not "created"

David was called "the firstborn"
But he had
Older brothers
Israel was called "the firstborn"
But there were
Other nations


Verse 5
"No one has seen God at any time
The only begotten God
Who is in the bosom of the Father
He has explained Him"

Verse 6
Yet did not Isaiah
Say he saw the LORD
Sitting upon His throne
In His holy temple?

Who walked with Abraham
By the oaks of Mamre?
It was the pre-incarnate Christ
He was the One that was seen

Verse 7
No one has seen
God
The Father
But God
The Son
Is the one that has been seen

It is the Son
Who reveals
The Father
The only begotten Son
Who is equal with Yahweh
