Bible Question: Jevhova Witnesses are really hard to talk to because they talk in circles. What would be a effective way of getting the truth to them. (to open their eyes)? |
Bible Answer: Romans 9:5 NIV Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of CHRIST, WHO IS GOD OVER ALL, forever praised! Amen. (Emphasis added.) Focus your witness on the deity of Jesus Christ. This is the main issue. Do not be sidetracked by such issues as blood transfusions, saluting the flag, and the like. Denial of the deity of Christ is the foundation upon which JW doctrine is built. After the deity of Christ, all else is secondary where convincing JWs is concerned. A well-trained JW will tie the average Christian into a theological pretzel in about five minutes. You must be prepared. There are several websites that will help you to prepare to witness to JWs, some of which are listed in this post. 'The first thing you say to a JW before you study with them is that you [do] not accept anything from the NWT as authoritative. But they won't accept any other Bible in their heart, even though they might allow you to use one. 'The NWT is so extremely biased and perverted, it is questionable if any Hebrew or Greek scholars worked on it. It is nothing more than a sectarian paraphrase, not a translation. 'No one uses the NWT except the JW's. 'JW's on the other hand will use nothing else! 'It has undergone many revisions. 'It is not a translation, but a corrupt sectarian paraphrase' (www.bible.ca/Jw-NWT.htm). Here is a list of related online resources. This list does not necessarily imply endorsement of all the contents on all of these websites. However, I have found these websites to be very useful. www.carm.org/witnesses.htm (Highly recommended. This may be the best resource for answering JWs.) www.equip.org/search/ (Highly recommended.) www.soulright.com/nwt.html www.namb.net/root/resources/beliefbulletins/cults/new_world_translation.asp |
