Tag: John 17:5
John 12:41 makes two claims that together carry the Trinitarian argument: that Isaiah saw Jesus's glory, and that the glory John attributes to Jesus elsewhere in his Gospel is pre-temporal Shekinah possessed παρὰ σοί before creation. Even granting the unitarian referent of Isaiah 52–53, the Servant's glorification read through John 17:5 is restoration of co-possessed eternal glory, not the elevation of a creature.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the man Jesus who died on Good Friday did not come back — that his body was dissolved into atoms and a spirit creature named Michael was constructed to take his place. This is a primary-source documented study of that doctrine — what the Watchtower actually teaches, why it cannot be reconciled with the apostolic Scriptures, and why the Jesus who rose is the same man who died.
