| AFTER
many years of witnessing to the Jehovah’s Witnesses, here
is a useful piece of information which aims to cut through all
the ice and really gets to the heart of the matter and confronts
them with "who Jesus really is".
You can use this either at the start
when you first meet them or after you have been on the Watchtower
theological roundabout.The Witnesses want to do two things:1.
Help you, and2. Answer your questions.So then, here goes – "knock,
knock"After preliminary introductions (C=Christian, J=Jehovah’s
Witness)C. Can you help me? (This is the key to the JW computer
answering system) I have an important question I would like
you to answer. (Now you have their full attention.)C. Is Jehovah
the only true God?J. Yes he is.C. (This is the important question)
Is Jesus a true God or a false God. (Get them to answer only
true or false, you do not want any other answer).They will
try to give you some other answers. Here are some of them.
J.
He is a mighty God but not almighty God
J. He is a divine person
J. He has divine qualities
J. He is known as Michael
the archangel
J. There are gods many and lords many |
Whatever the answer they
try to give, other than true or false, do not accept. Insist
they answer. Here is why.If they answer true then they have
and believe in TWO TRUE GODS. If they answer false then they
have a FALSE GOD who was created and is seated at the right
hand of Jehovah in Heaven.Either Jesus is a true God or he
is not. You cannot have it both ways.In doing this you are
not getting bogged down in the twisting of scripture as they
do. You do not have to defend the trinity doctrine. You do
not have to argue with them. Most importantly you are confronting
them with who they really believe Jesus is.You will have put
the spanner in the Watch Tower computer programmed answering
system. They will not have been able to help you or answer
your question.As they try to skirt around the subject by attacking
the trinity doctrine, agree to discuss it with them starting
with Jehovah is God. Then deal with Jesus Is he a true God
or not? You will not get past this point to even discuss the
Holy Spirit.
But all the time you can
be praying that the Holy Spirit will open their eyes. As they
go away frustrated, pray that this will play on their minds
until they come to the true knowledge of Jesus and that he
will become their personal saviour. |
