1ST TIMOTHY 3:16 - OF DIFFERENT BIBLES

Was 1st Timothy 3:16 referring to JESUS or GOD?

1st Timothy 3:16 - New World Translation Bible of (Jehovah Witnesses) reads:

16. Indeed, the sacred secret of this godly devotion is admittedly great: ‘He was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, appeared to angels, was preached about among nations, was believed upon in [the] world, was received up in glory.’

1st Timothy 3:16 - Old King James Version: reads:

16. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Do you see the different? Do you understand why?

In the New World Translation of the Jehovah Witnesses Bible – it is written “He" was manifest in the flesh” Instead of saying “GOD” – as like in the Old King James Version.

Why was this?

Because in the New World Translations “He” must refer to Jesus as it is read in their bible in scripture (John 1:1) Jesus being (The WORD) being a little god. – If the New World Translation had written “God was manifest in the flesh without controversy” – then this verse would have not favor well with John 1:1 referring to the Jesus (TheWord) as being a little god, it would have shown the Word or Jesus as GOD ALMIGHTY. (GREAT MISTAKE!)

So the translators of the New World Translation had to write “HE” instead of “GOD”. In this way the Pronoun “HE” could point at whoever. But in the King James Version it point directly at “GOD Almighty” who was manifest in the Flesh of Men. (GOD is a SPIRIT)

NOW HERE IS WHERE WISDOM COMES TO GIVE THE READERS TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS AND GOD ALMIGHTY.
*******************************************************************************
"Manifest" meaning is that GOD became KNOWN (in) the Flesh of Jesus or GOD dwells in the one Heart of Flesh. GOD Almighty Spirit dwells in ones Heart of Flesh, this is known in the scriptures of Ezekiel 36:26-27 and 1st John 4:16, by knowing that 1st Timothy 3:16 is referring to the Manifestation of GOD Almighty Spirit into the Heart of Flesh of JESUS. It was not refering to JESUS spirit but the Spirit of GOD manification. If you would read on in the Old King James it will read: justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, The meaning of "justified in the Spirit" refer to: GOD Almighty is a Spirit and those who praise him, worship him or justified him, must do this in their Spirit.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

SEEN by Angels: This would have to mean that "NO Man have never SEEN GOD" not even HIS SHAPE! but GOD ALMIGHTY has been seen by His Angels; (it would be unreasonable to mention "Jesus was seen by Angels" when we know that Jesus was seen by MANKIND" (John 5:37) And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.


preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, (YES GOD were preached unto the Gentiles, and GOD was believed on in the world, but now we come to 'RECEIVED UP INTO GLORY" received up into glory ( This meaning is that GOD gave JESUS of HIM SELF (His Spirit) which was a GLORY from GOD ALMIGHTY given to JESUS, manifest into JESUS Heart of Flesh and this SAME GLORY (SPIRIT) from GOD ALMIGHTY will return back into the FATHER. (THIS Glory (Spirit of Love) was given to Jesus to give to ManKind) This Glory of Spirit fellowship and Hid is GOD - (Ephesians 3:9) - GOD spirit created all things by Jesus:

Ephesians 3:9 reads: And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:



JOHN 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Scriptures that tells us of the Beginning:

In the King James Version in John 1:1 reads: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Question: Is there any other scriptures that would tell us of the beginning? (YES)
Question: In this scripture does it tell us something being with GOD and part of GOD? (YES)

The WORD and The Mystery of GOD Ephesians 3:9

The WORD was part of GOD for the WORD fellowship with GOD in the Beginning. John1:1

Where else does it tells us of the beginning that something was with GOD and was a part of GOD who created all things by Jesus Christ? Ephesians 3:9, 11 - Old King James referrence;

(I hope the readers could pick up on this truth)

Ephesians 3:9, 11 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 11. According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

The WORD was that Msytery that fellowship and Hid in GOD, WHO created all things by Jesus Christ.......

.. AND WITHOUT THE WORD WAS NOTHING CREATED BY JESUS.

GOD IS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF LOVE - FOR GOD IS LOVE - AND HE CAN GIVE HIS SPIRIT LOVE TO EVERYONE - AT HIS OWN GRACE AS HE CHOOSE.WE CAN NEVER EARN THE GRACE OF GOD!

2nd Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of LOVE, and of a sound mind

Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

1st John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

2nd Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of LOVE, and of a sound mind.

GOD Spirit of Love was place in and given to JESUS - This Glory of GOD Spirit of LOVE - could be given to Us - as it was given to the Disciples - So that they could be ONE as Jesus and GOD were One.

John 17:22
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Jesus was given TITLES NAMES (1) "THE LAMB of GOD" and (2) "THE WORD of GOD"The Lamb as like a Sacrifice for the world sins. ( A Savior)The Word of GOD -

He Jesus brought us GOD exact words for GOD commanded Jesus and he obeyed to his death.

Jesus was truly the BRIGHTNESS Glory of GOD Express Image -
Hebrew 1:3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

MAN was also the Glory and Image of GOD -but not the BRIGHTNESS - because ALL has FALLEN SHORT - for ALL has Sin.


Roman 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

1st Corinthians 11:7
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

To be CONT: Daily Bread: giving through the HOLY SPIRIT

I hope this been a blessing:
