Witness to Jehovah's Witnesses: how?
Jehovah's Witnesses claim to be the only true Christians, but they are neither Protestant nor Catholic. The fundamental doctrinal question that distinguishes them from Orthodox Christianity is the Trinity. They say that the doctrine of the Trinity It is a pagan teaching, Ma La Travisano, saying that the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit must be three gods. In reality I agree with the doctrine of the Trinity when he says that the father and son are two people, But they imagine having to demonstrate it to the Trinitaries. They cannot understand how the three people understand the only being of God, And so they devise the idea of a great God and a little God: two of. They say that Jesus was created (Aryanism), that was l’Archangel Michael and that the body of Jesus had not risen; It has simply disappeared and he resurrected as a spiritual creature. They say it Holy Spirit He is not a person but it is the active force or Jehovah's energy.
Since they say that Jesus is a demigod, their understanding of salvation and atonement is wrong. They say that Jesus, who was a perfect man, He died only to atone for the sin of Adam and that, When we die, Our death pays the penalty of our own sin. Only about 10.000 Jehovah's Witnesses can say that they are born again and have a celestial hope. The others say they don't want to go to heaven to be with the Lord, But they want to live forever on a heavenly land ( Restorationism). They believe that if they remain faithful and obedient until the end of the millennial kingdom of Christ Jesus, they will earn the right to be declared the right, And that's why they must continue to fight, without any guarantee of salvation. Only today's "rest" of the 144.000 he can say that he is in the new alliance and that Christ Jesus is their mediator. Everyone must be obedient to leaders (The Watchtower Society and its executive body) If they want to survive Armageddon. Do not agree with what the executive body says is not to agree with Jehovah because he uses them as his only communication channel to dispense “the truth”. Only they saw "with the spiritual eyes of discernment" that Christ Jesus began to reign from heaven in 1914, an invisible "second presence". Furthermore, They say that Christ Jesus will never return to earth, but it will remain in the sky.
With all these non -biblical beliefs, Where do you start to testify to a Jehovah's Witness?
There is only one point to start from: with the person of Christ Jesus, whose divinity is the foundation of Christianity. Jehovah's witnesses are unable to grasp the meaning of Jesus' death and because they must be reborn to have the forgiveness of their sins. Before they can place all their trust in the complete work of Christ Jesus, they must understand that they are not saved, which means that they are currently lost in their sin. No witness has the certainty of salvation , which is the gift of the Holy Spirit to those who belong to the Father through Christ ( Romans 8:16). The full divinity of Jesus Christ can be revealed to them only by the Holy Spirit. Per i testimoni, The Holy Spirit is one “thing”, Not a person.
The testimony to the witnesses must be made with Christian love and with compassion. Remember, have been deceived and believe in a false Gospel, Yet many have a genuine love for God and are absolutely sincere in their beliefs. Don't be afraid of it (1 Giovanni 4:17-19), But let him know how much you care about their eternal salvation. Share your Christian testimony with them. Talk to them, discuss with them of spiritual issues, but do not allow them to conduct what they call a biblical study, which is actually a study by their literature. Keep in mind that they will not read any literature that is not of the watchtower nor will they participate in a religious service. They say they will only accept what the Bible says, but theirs Translation of the new world has been altered to reflect their theology, and many verses of the New Testament that indicates the full divinity of Christ Jesus have been changed to support their vision that only a partial divinity can be attributed to him. It is always a surprise for them to meet people who love the Lord, show the fruit of the spirit and use the Bible as the basis of their faith (Jews 4:12 ). Tell the truth with love ( Ephesians 4:15 ). Directs all your conversation to the person of Christ and the need to store total trust in what he did. Do not allow them to guide you along the path that want you to take, vale a dire, Considering how you can survive Armagheton to live on a heavenly land. This is not the Gospel. Mostly, Pray for them.
