Jesus became the Christ at His baptism.
The Watchtower book, Holy Spirit - The force
behind the coming new order, printed in 1975 says that Jesus became
the Christ at His baptism. This is not true. Jesus was born
the Christ as it says in
Luke 2:11, "for today in
the city of David there has been born for you a
Savior, who is
Christ the
Lord," (Luke 2:11, nasb). It is clear that the Watchtower
Organization was wrong about this.
| "When did this Jesus become actually 'Christ the Lord'? Not on the eighth day of his birth, when he was circumcised. He was not anointed on that day. It was when he was thirty years old." (Holy Spirit - The force behind the coming new order, 1975, page 90.) | "Jesus was anointed with holy spirit after his baptism in water and he thus became Christ or Anointed One, so too with his disciples." (Holy Spirit - The force behind the coming new order, 1975, page 113.) |
