(Is. 9:6) : "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III




(Is. 9:6)
: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (v.6). It is probably the phrase 'Mighty God in this verse that has made Jehovah's Witnesses say that Christ is a Mighty God, although in their opinion, He is not God. Strangely enough, this verse is from the Book of Isaiah in which the clauses: "I am the Lord and there is no other; there is no God besides Me" are repeated many times (Is.45:5,6,21,22)
