AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:27 For HE (the Father) HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS (Christ's) FEET. But when He says, "All things have been put in subjection [under Christ]," it is clear that He (the Father) who put all things in subjection to Him (Christ) is excepted [since the Father is not in subjection to His own Son]. [Ps 8:6] |
Subject: What's Jesus' position? |
Bible Note: Hi Hank! You wrote: "Few of us have not met representatives from both cults at our front door -- and will likely meet them there again. It's a possible opportunity to minister to them if we equip ourselves to do it." A hardy "Amen!" I have many Christian friends who are former JWs and Mormons. ALL of them have told me, "Every time a 'Christian' would slam the door in my face, it would only reinforce my belief that I was 'in the truth'. I was 'being persecuted for my faith.'" If we, as blood-bought children of God, aren't able to "defend the faith", we can at least tell these misguided JWs and Mormons what Jesus has done for us personally! My above mentioned friends have told me over and over: as they went door-to-door, the ONLY thing they couldn't argue with and would cause them to ponder in their heart was people loving them enough to share testimonies of what Jesus means to them personally. JWs have no testimony. Mormons "testimony" is "they have a burning in their bosom that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God." How sad!! So, don't worry about being "equipped". We ARE equipped to tell everyone what Jesus has done for us! Mrs. B |
