Bible Note: It is still my belief that "putting down" any religion isn't what we need to concern ourselves with. Throughout the Bible it seems to be that when Jesus knew that someone had been mislead or was confused or with question, he gave them knowledge of the true facts without "putting them down". If we focus our energy on getting God's Word, to our understanding, to people who need Christ in their lives we will be fulfilling our obligation as Christians. As I said before, there are alot of things that one can say about any religion to make that religion not seem as sincere as the one that they choose to follow. It is by faith that we believe. Jehovah's Witnesses have faith in their belief. Prodestants (with all of the "mini religions" that fall under this cateragory) have faith in their belief. Catholics and Muslims theirs... We aren't here to grind someone's belief into the ground or to diminish one's faith. Rather to lift up the name of Jesus and to praise God Almighty and to live our lives as closely in the shoes of Jesus Christ as is possible. The article that you have listed the URL to is titled "Jehovah's Witnesses in a Nutshell". -My suggestion to anyone who is "really" interested in learning what the Witnesses truly believe and why, is to welcome a study with them. Ask them questions. Tell them why you agree or disagree with them. Give them the opportunity to show you why the believe the way that they do and take the opportunity to share what you believe to be The Truth and why as well. I don't recall Jesus ever running from the opportunity to share The Good News with anyone, even one who didn't initially have the same faith as himself. You might learn something. Or at minimum, you'll at least give them the opportunity to learn something from you. Let's not put people down, but instead lift them up and share God's Word with them. Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. With Love, Jamine71 |
