John 1:6 refutes JW argument — theos without article still means God Almighty

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 9) 00:02:39 – 00:04:09

Mike demonstrates the JW argument is self-defeating using another verse in the same chapter.

John 1:6 says "there was a man sent from God" (Greek: theos, no definite article). The NWT still renders this as God Almighty — proving even JWs acknowledge that the absence of the definite article does not require the translation "a god." This exposes the inconsistency of their argument.

Was John the Baptist predestined to be saved?

In the teaching of Calvinism, there is an election to salvation for some men while the rest of mankind are created without a hope of eternal life. In this understanding God has pre-determined from eternity past that all but the elect would remain in their sin and be lost forever.
