1 Timothy 6:16 misquoted: JW use of ellipsis to hide context

The Watchtower and the Second Coming | Live-stream 00:36:30 – 00:39:00

JW misuse of Scripture to support spirit-only existence

JWs quote 1 Timothy 6:16 ('whom no one has seen or can see') using ellipsis to hide the full context. The complete verse exalts Jesus as 'the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light.' Far from supporting spirit-only theology, this verse affirms Jesus' deity and unique divine status. The 'unapproachable light' refers to his transcendent nature, not his invisibility.
