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. | ||||||

Yes, loyla, it is possible to defend the faith without being offensive. Few souls, I believe, are ever won over by debate and fancy argumentation. Paul said it so forcefully and beautifully in 1 Cor. 13:1, "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal." And he said in verse 8, "Love never fails." --Hank | ||||||

Hank, God's Word does not lie, never. I have been in positions in my own life where God allowed me to see that where He could have easily consumed me in certain situations where I had forsaken Him. At the same time letting me know that I could not dwell in that thing and be fruitful. God is a God of purpose. When I realized this, I stopped asking a lot of " Why God did I go through this and that". If we study the scriptures, we can clearly see that we are no exception to going through. All of God's main men and women faced opposition or was put in a position where it was due or die for the Lord. Most Americans don't have to face that kind of persecution but if we will go into some of these communist or RELIGIOUS countries where it is forbidden to mention any god but theirs or suffer the consequences, then we will realize how much God has blessed this country and us despite of the obstacles we face. It's nothing but through God's Grace and Mercy which is His unconditional love that has tolerated a country that has blantely turned their face from God. Thank Him for the righteous people in the land. He loves everyone but we have His favor. Let's continue let Him spread that through us. | ||||||
