the Old Testament revealed! I. Watchtower Hypocrisy: When the Watchtower says, "the concept of trinity as revealed in the New Testament, is not taught in the Old Testament". They are right, but many concepts that are taught in the New Testament like the Trinity, were merely alluded to in the Old Testament. Trinity is merely one of a long list of doctrines that developed between the Old Testament and the New ... Now here is their hypocrisy: Jehovah's Witnesses believe that God, even in the 21st century, is revealing new doctrines, or clarifying old doctrines, that were not understood ... All the while, if they ever stopped to think, they would realize this is a satanic deception, illogical and utter hypocrisy! It is obvious that the Jews would reject the JW view of Jesus being "a god" (see Jn 10:33) ... From Moses to Christ, God's name was YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah). For Christians the name of God is JESUS! "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under ... ...
