Five Questions Leading Jehovah’s Witnesses to Jesus

Note that not every Jehovah’s Witness today makes as big of an issue over the “personal sins” point that Hoffman said they do in his presentation. Hoffman gave this presentation over 20 years ago and there is more emphasis on Jesus in the Watchtower literature today than there was several years ago. So while it is important to draw the connection between personal sins and Jesus’ death, don’t let it throw you off-guard if the Jehovah’s Witness you are speaking to does not react to this part of your presentation, like they did when Hoffman was witnessing to them years ago. Just continue to move on to the part about dealing directly with Jesus in prayer for salvation, and use the verses in the handout link to lead them to Jesus in prayer.

Keith Walker Talks to Jehovah's Witnesses At Their Memorial

Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate only one holiday, Nisan 14 or the Memorial of Jesus' death. It's the closest thing to Easter, where they remember the night that he held a meal with his disciples right before he died. This "memorial" meeting is a solemn night where nearly anyone who claims to be a Jehovah's Witnesses shows up, dressed in elegant clothes, to hear a talk about the reason Jesus came to die and to pass the emblems of bread and wine to each other with hardly anyone partaking of the food. The reason most Jehovah's Witnesses do not partake of the emblems is that they are told that only a select group of Jehovah's Witnesses, only 144,000, are worthy enough to partake. This two class system of the "Anointed" 144,000 and the "Other Sheep" other Jehovah's Witnesses keep most trapped in a system that denies Jesus' mediatorship to vast majority of Jehovah's Witnesses because they are told they can't qualify to be in the New Covenant directly and must let the emblems pass without partaking. In this video, Keith Walker of http://evidenceministries.org explains his experience attending Memorial as a Christian who believes he is in the New Covenant of Christ.

How to Protect Your Neighborhood from JWs & LDS

Christina R Darlington

Discussing the deception of Jehovah's Witness and Mormon doctrines can be difficult to do with your neighbors in our post-modern culture that tends to view religious contentions as old-fashioned bigotry. Yet Scripture instructs Christian believers to stand up for truth and "Preach the Word" even when it is "out of season", or inconvenient (2 Tim. 4:2). One way you can easily share your faith and warn your neighbors of the aberrant views of Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons is to distribute our free door-hanger "Protect Your Neighborhood" packets which include not only a contrast list of the doctrinal differences between their teachings and the Bible's teachings, but also provides a simple gospel tract for spiritual truth seekers. And in this packet, we have also included our popular "No Visits by Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons" stickers that even your most anti-religious neighbors will appreciate. You can download this packet from our http://4witness.org website, under the "Protect Your Neighborhood" link.

Cult Evangelism - 3 Questions to Ask on the Gospel

August 3, 2019 • Christina R Darlington

QUESTION 1: WHO IS JESUS CHRIST TO YOU? The Bible teaches that Jesus as the “Son of God” is God the Son (John 19:7). Being the “Son of Man” (John 6:62), He is 100% human. Being the “Son of God,” He is 100% God (John 5:18). Being “Almighty” God (Revelation 1:7-8), Jesus can have no “equal” God beside Him (Isaiah 46:9; 44:6, 24; John 1:1-3). Yet, cults reduce Christ to a created creature, calling Jesus a secondary “godlike” being. John 5:18: “For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He …was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.” (NASB) Philippians 2:5-7: “…have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” (NIV) Colossians 2:9: “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.” (NASB) QUESTION 2: WHAT DID JESUS DO FOR YOU? 1 Peter 2:24: “…He Himself bore our sins in His body ….” (NASB) What did Jesus bear “in” His own body? (“Our sins”) What sins are those? What does the word “bore” mean? (To carry) Where did Jesus carry “our sins”? (In His Body) Can you see why the Bible teaches that our personal sins put Jesus to death? Did Jesus pay for ALL of our personal sins, or are there sins that we can commit that He didn’t pay for which would cause us to lose eternal life? Is Jesus sufficient for our salvation, or is He just a necessary step? If He is sufficient, why do we need to add our works for salvation? QUESTION 3: HAVE YOU “COME” TO JESUS? Jesus has the “authority” to forgive sins (Mark 2:7, 10-11) and give eternal life (John 10:28). Therefore we must “come” to Jesus (John 5:39-40; 6:45) in prayer (John 14:14; 1 Cor. 1:2, 9; Acts 7:59; 2 Cor. 12:8-9), asking Him to give us His righteousness in exchange for our sin (Phil. 3:9). If we do not give Jesus the same “honor” and “worship” we give the Father (Rev. 5:11-14), we do “not honor” the Father (John 5:23). John 14:14: “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.” (NASB) Jesus must be greater than a created angel because He both receives prayer and answers prayer. NOTE: You can use the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Interlinear Translation of John 14:14 (photocopy on the back) to show how the Jehovah’s Witness New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT) leaves off the first “Me” in the passage to read: “If you ask anything in my name, I will do it” instead of “ask Me.” John 5:23: “So that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.” (NWT) Revelation 5:13-14: “ ‘…To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.’ The four living creatures were saying: ‘Amen!’ and the elders fell down and worshiped.” (NWT)
