1 | Jehovah's Witnesses in a Nutshell | Rom 3:4 | loyla | 55996 | ||
Exactly Hank, I believe that if people really want to KNOW THE TRUTH, God will indeed show it to them. A lot of times with folk like Jehovah's Witnesses, we want to use a lot of theology and logic to win them instead of being led of the Holy Spirit of what we should say to them. We have to remember that they are taught that Christians will react a certain way and whatever they are challenged with they will go to a more knowledgable Elder in their own organization to seek the answer they may not have for you at that time. If we yield ourselves and follow God's way of ministering to Witnesses and cults like them, we can win them. We cannot win these folk with head knowledge alone, although you need to have knowledge of the Word of God for God's Word saids that people parish for lack of knowledge and we need to study to show ourselves approved unto God (and remember it's God we are showing ourselves approved unto not man) being a workman that needeth not be ashamed RIGHTLY dividing the Word of truth, so this is essential. But having head knowledge to debate an issue with people under cults is a waste of your breath if you are not led by the Holy Spirit in ministering that knowledge. We must approach people God's way and with His heart and words in which we've studied through His Word and stop just trying to prove we are right and let our words as well as are lifestyles (actions and behavior) before God and man show them the REAL TRUTH. | ||||||
2 | Jehovah's Witnesses in a Nutshell | Rom 3:4 | mbooker | 56366 | ||
Nicely said loyla. I have JW's come by my house and I found myself easily slipping into a 'debate' with them. I guess we, children of the most High, simply need to be on guard and walk in love at all times so that we won't offend because love never fails. |

3 | Jehovah's Witnesses in a Nutshell | Rom 3:4 | loyla | 56372 | ||
Praise God, I am glad that I was able to shed some light on it. I have found myself, in the past, having done the same thing and even now controlling it. But God truly enlightened me to the fact that He doesn't even make people take the Gospel of Jesus but simply presnets it to them as a choice. Jesus has already done it for the Jehovah Witnesses and others who really don't believe in what Jesus has done. All they have to do is receive that truth and decide to take it for themselves. Even in the days Jesus walked the earth, He experienced the same type of opposition and knew how to answer all men due to His relationship with the Father and dying to His flesh daily which allows spiritual enlightment to come. The carnal man CANNOT understand the things of God which is what makes debating with these people useless. The Lord says that no one cometh except He draweth them first. Folks of every cult have been drawn and won to Christ. He constantly reminds us through His word to watch our conversation and to discipline our flesh because the flesh wants to do wrong. When we don't exercise God's principle's in His Word, we, as Christians, have made it easier for some folk to gravitate towards these cults. We need to center on God's mercy and His love but not leave out His judgement and penalty for sin. Let those of us who have been enlightned to the TRUTH tighten up our spiritual acts so that God can work the way He would like to work through us to win lost souls from the burning hell currently waiting for them. It's then that Jesus can truly say when we stand before Him "Well done good and faithful servant" | ||||||
