JAMES WHITE How To Witness To a Jehovah’s Witness

[@WitnessForJesus]

I believed this to be a new talk but some people are saying it is not. The African church it was from uploaded it 3 months ago. So I have assumed it was 2023. I thought that this would be a good video to share and would bring JW here to my channel to comment.

I am still waiting for someone to prove to me that the holy spirit is a person. Without that third person, this man made false teaching steeped in paganism, that came 300 years after Jesus left the earth, is a big fat lie.

One needs to know Jehovah's witnesses theology, history and their " indoctrinated mind set" and how they view non Jehovah's witnesses. They particularly dislike the doctrine of the Triniy......so christians need to be well versed in scripture / theology and able to articulate this. I find that being kind and gentle ( but firm and clear ) when talking to Jehovah's witnesses- they are taught to be suspicious of " worldly people " ( non Jehovah's witnesses) - so surprise them with love.

[@ScottRock-mr6qk]

They dislike the trinity because it's a pagan belief. That's why they dislike it. The Babylonians(which were pagans) had trinities of God's, and so did the Egyptians, and you see how that worked out for them, don't you?? You understand that the trinity doctrine states that all three are equal to each other, right?? And if that's true, then why at Mark 13:32, Jesus says Heaven and Earth are passing away, but by no means will my words pass away. Concerning that day and hour, nobody knows, not the Angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father knows. Wow!! I thought all three were equal. If heaven and earth are passing away, you'd think that would be something the Almighty God would know about. And that right there tells me their not equal because if they were, the Son would know too, because they're all supposed to be equal. And apparently, they aren't. And that's not me saying that they're all equal, that's what the doctrine says. So, the question you should be asking yourself and your church leaders is this: Why doesn't the Son know when Heaven and Earth are passing away if they are all equal??? Don't just shrug your shoulders and say it's not for him to know. Because they're all supposed to be EQUAL. And another point is this, why isn't the Holy Spirit mentioned there?? It says the Angels in heaven, which are just slaves of God and the prophets, but why isn't the Holy Spirit even mentioned there??? Oh and just letting you know, I AM NOT A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS.

[@ScottRock-mr6qk]

@fionataylor2286 So you think Jesus is equal to the Father?? Because of his nature. Where does it say that in the Bible?? What book and verse is that at??? Stop trying to add crap to what Jesus said. Jesus said at John 5:41 I DO NOT ACCEPT GLORY FROM MEN." Sooo why wouldn't Jesus accept glory from men if he was God??? Because all glory goes to God. It's things like that, that you said that makes problems with the understanding of the Bible. Watch this and learn. IF IT DOESN'T SAY IT ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE THEN DONT ADD OR TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT IT DOES AND DOESNT SAY. You just added some crap that's not true. It's true that God gave Jesus the powers of himself. But he is nowhere close to being equal to God. Why?? Because the word Almighty means absolute power and no equal whereas Mighty, which is what Isaiah said he'd be called, means strong and powerful. That's the difference between God, the Father, and Jesus.

Given the memorial stats of JW, this is an old video (maybe 2018) but uploaded again recently. Nonetheless, still very relevant. Would like to have seen this w/o the splicing. Interesting how there is no volume at 14:25-14:30. Probably b/c JWs really don't have the holy spirit to say that they baptize in such. I don't agree with the trinity belief, but his method in handling JWs is spot on. Do no look for the "ah ha" moments to scare them away. Let them off the hook when they have no answer. Stitch to the discussion of Christ and the bible. You are not trying to win them over immediately, just planting the seed so that when they are separated from other, they are thinking independently. And if you are or were ever a JW, you don't have to admit that to them because they look for a reason to shut down on what they have no logical answer for. It is crazy how they don't see how they are being witnessed to. Good job on educating people on how to deal with the annoying pest of JWs instead of feeling intimated b/c they are more trained and versed with their chosen texts. I'm going to incorporate several of scriptures here in my personal ministry against strong controlled groups like JWs. Good response to the gentlemen who asked why JW are so driven and present. It is a fear of never living up to God's standard and always feeling that they have to prove by visible works. The speaker could have also added that it is out of competition and pressure to look spiritual in front of each other as well. Finally, nice closing prayer.

BUT HOW COULD GOD BE A TRINITY? PSALMS 83 v 18 says, THAT MEN MAY KNOW THAT YOU ALONE WHOSE NAME IS JEHOVAH ARE THE MOST HIGH OVER ALL THE EARTH. ( YOU ALONE WHOSE NAME IS JEHOVAH) IT is also in the king James version, most of the older copies. The Holy SPIRIT appeared as a dove when Jesus got baptized, was Mary impregnated by a dove? The holy spirit appeared as Fire at one stage, was Mary impregnated by fire? The holy spirit appeared as a strong breeze, was Mary impregnated by a strong breeze? The Holy spirit is God's vital force that he uses to carry out his purpose. Any sensible person who reads DANIEL 12 v 1 and 2 and compare it to John 5 v 28 and 29, MUST conclude that both accounts are speaking of the same event and the same person MICHAEL IS JESUS. IF MICHAEL IS NOT JESUS, how then did he get the book ( scrolls). REVERLATIONS 5 verse 1 to 5 says that NO MAN IN HEAVEN OR ON THE EARTH IS WORTHY TO OPEN THE BOOK OR EVEN LOOK ON IT BUT JESUS. SO HOW THEN DID MICHAEL GET THE BOOK IF HE IS NOT JESUS? 1 Corinthians 11 v 3 says, THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN IS CHRIST, THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN IS THE MAN AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD.

God used terms we can easily identify with-Father and son, yet many are still confused. Father and son belong to the same family but are different individuals and are not equal!

The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord." -The Paganism in Our Christianity.

"The formulation 'one God in three Persons' was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century.... Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective." - New Catholic Encyclopedia. In Jesus' defense against the charge of the Jews, that he claimed to be God, he noted that "the Law uses the word gods of those to whom the word of God was addressed," that is, human judges. (John 10:34, 35, JB; Psalm 82:1-6) Even Satan is called "the god of this system of things" at 2 Corinthians 4:4.

The Catholic sources you are quoting here are either wrong or just completely out of context. Jesus is clearly stated as God in several epistles we have from Ignatius, the student of the Apostle John. Here's the relevant quotes from just one letter: *Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians* - Ignatius, who is also called Theophorus, to the Church which is at Ephesus, in Asia, deservedly most happy, being blessed in the greatness and fulness of God the Father, and predestinated before the beginning of time, that it should be always for an enduring and unchangeable glory, *being united and elected through the true passion by the will of the Father, and Jesus Christ, our God:* Abundant happiness through Jesus Christ, and His undefiled grace. Ignatius helps us affirms that ‘his own blood’ (Acts 20:28) refer back to ‘God’, thus a powerful evidence of Christ Jesus’ Deity: “*the church of God which he purchased with his own blood” in Letter To Ephesians chapter 1.* Being the followers of God, and stirring up yourselves by the *blood of God*, ye have perfectly accomplished the work which was beseeming to you. In chapter 7: There is one Physician who is possessed both of flesh and spirit; both made and not made; *God existing in flesh; true life in death; both of Mary and of God; first possible and then impossible,- even Jesus Christ our Lord.* Chapter 18: For *our God, Jesus Christ, was, according to the appointment of God, conceived in the womb by Mary, of the seed of David, but by the Holy Ghost.* He was born and baptized, that by His passion He might purify the water. This is just one example out of dozens showing the writings of the early church those encylopedias are referring to all teach Jesus is God in Flesh. When you read the sources yourself instead of someone else's opinion of them it is very clear in my opinion We know the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch and that the church of antioch was trinitarian already before 117 AD, so what happened there? Should we trust men who knew the apostles? If not, how can you be sure Ignatius was misinterpreting the Gospel and letters written by his own teacher?

@@CalvaryandChristendom l Justin Martyr, who died about 165 C.E., called the prehuman Jesus a created angel who is "other than the God who made all things." He said that Jesus was inferior to God and "never did snything except what the Crestor .. willed him to do and say. "Irenaeus, who died about 200 C.E., said that the prehuman Jesus had a separate existence from God and was inferior to him. He showed that Jesus is not equal to the "One true and only God." who is "supreme over all, and besides whom there is no other." Clement of Alexandria, who died about 215 C.E., called God the uncreated and imperishable and only true God." He said that the Son is next to the only omnipotent Father" but not equal to him. Terbullian, who died about 230 C.E., taught the supremacy of God. He observed: "The Father is different from the Son (another), as he is greater, as he who begets is different from him who is begotten; he who sends, different from him who is sent." He also said: "There was a time when the Son was not.. Before all things, God was alone. Hippolytus, who died about.235 C.E., said that God is "the one God, the frst and the only One, the Maker and Lord of sil," who "had nothing co-eval lof equal age] with him But he was One, alone by himself; who, willing it, called into being what had no being before." such as the crested prehuman Jesus. Origen, who died about 250 C.E... said that 'the Father and Son are two substances two things as to their essence," and that "compared with the Father, [the Son] is very small light." Suniming up the historical evidence, Alvan Lamson says in The Church of the First Three Centuries: The modern popular doctrine of the Trinity .. derives no support from the language of Justin [Martyr]: 'and this observation may be extenced to al the ante-Nicene Fathers that is, to all Christian writers for three centuries after the birtin of Christ i is true they speak of the Father, Son, and .. holy Spirit, but not as co-equal, not as one numerical essence, not as Three in One, in any sense now taught by Trinitarians. The very reverse is the case. Thus, the testimony of the Bible and of history makes clear that the Trinity was unknown throughout Bible times and for several centuries thereafter. There is no evidence that any sacred writer even suspected the existence of a [Trinity] whin the Godhead." - The Triune God. AT PHILIPPIANS 2:6 the Catholic Douay Version (Dy) of 1609 says of Jesus: "Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God." The King James Version (of 1811) reads much the same.

[@olusesanmoses413]

The context of John 1:1 lays the groundwork for accurate understanding. The King James Version says, "The Word was with God." Someone who is "with" another person cannot be the same as that other person. The Journal of Biblical Literature, edited by Jesuit Joseph A. Fitzmyer, notes that if the latter part of John 1:1 were interpreted to mean "the" God, this "would then contradict the preceding clause," which says that the Word WAS WITH God. Notice, how older translations renders John 1:1 1808: "and the word was a god."

Notice what the Bible said: 1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcome to the world, but he that believeth that Jesus Is The SON OF GOD. (Not God the Son) Before coming to the earth-Jesus was subordinate to God. Proverbs 8:22,30. While here on earth, Jesus continues to be submissive to Almighty God John 20:17. When back in heaven, Jesus still regard and refer to his Father as "My God" four times in a single verse: Rev 3:2, 12. 1 Corinthians 15:28; Jesus handovers to Jehovah God 11:3 God is the head of Jesus (headship arrangement) and John 14:28 Jesus himself confess that the father (Almighty God) is always superior to him. Neither Almighty God, Jesus Christ, his disciples or any Bible writers teach the doctrine on trinity anywhere in the Bible. It is NOT a gospel! That is why it is called trinity creed, it is a decreed, by human (Emperor) NOT divinely inspired! John 4:23,24. There is no place in the Bible that tells TRUE Christians that belief in Trinity is required or expected. To gain eternal life, Jesus prescribes John 3:16, 36; 14:6; and 17:3 and NOT believe in theological elaboration called Trinity. It is a distraction from the truth and satanic. 1 Cor. 11:3 Can Almighty God still have a Head? God is the HEAD of Jesus. Hebrews 1:2 Almighty God spoke to humans by means of the SON.. Vs. 3 Jesus is a REFLECTION of God’s glory and exact REPRESENTATION Vs. 4 He INHERITED a name Vs. 8 speaking about Jesus he says “God is your throne compare Matthew 28:18; Revelation 3:21. Hebrews 5:8 Can Almighty God learn obedience from things suffered from sinful humans? Never!

Witness to a Witness???? About what? Wouldn't the many JWs who were formerly members of conflicting dogma believing churches already know what they were given to believe while being its members.

I'm not a Roman Catholic. The reason my comment is relevant is that you have suggested that Matthew 24:14 will not be fulfilled without the tiny group of JW who are preaching. The reality is that Christians have preached the real good news for 2000 years and JW is a drop in the ocean in comparison. The BIBLE is VERY IMPORTANT and therefore the JW org only publishing 250 million bibles (compared to BILLIONS of copies of their OWN literature!) shows that they are a false prophet organisation. They don't care about the bible as much as their own publications. CT Russell would never have had a bible if it wasn't for other Christians. @@jimjuri6490

@kanangaeruaiti7266 I don't believe we should be bashing anyone's beliefs. Even when we know that they are wrong.

In this case, the next video, for a witness against them. If they don't want to listen or reject what you've shown them, then let it go and move on.

[@ScottRock-mr6qk]

@jimjuri6490 I know they wouldn't, but it perturbs me that these people say they are Christians, yet don't listen to what Jesus says. All he said to do was go out and preach the good news of the kingdom and where they don't accept you dust off your feet and move on to the next town and to be a witness against them. He never said to go and judge another person or group for their beliefs. And while they won't defend themselves, I'm happy to do so for them because while I'm not a Jehovah's Witness, I know who God is and whether you want to call him Jehovah or Yehovah or even Yehowah it's still not Jesus and for that reason there, they do have it right. Jehovah or Yehovah is God Almighty. And if they'd read their Bible they'd understand who Jesus truly is and was. Because he wasn't just called the Word of God in the New Testament. He was also the Word of God in the Old Testament, too. Jesus himself said at John 5:37 "You have neither seen his form nor heard his voice at any time. Soooo who's form and who's voice did they see and hear??? Yeah it was Jesus's voice and form they saw and heard. But you could never convince or even show these idiots that. So, try Zechariah 12:8 and ask yourself this, who in the line of David is most like God. And if he's the answer to the first part of the verse he's also the answer to the second part of it too.

You keep taking about WT theology, JW's get their teaching from the Bible. So if you are going to use YOUR unscriptual Trinity theology to try and witness to JW's who are true witnesses of Jehovah them you are simply waiting your time as we have all heard the false Trinity dogma before. It is about time you stopped flogging a dead horse with the pagan Trinity stuff as your arw simply trying to knock square pegs into round holes ! People are reading the bible for themselves and are doing their own research, I suggest that you get up to date with what the Bible really says rather than what YOU want it to say. When you stand before the God and father of Jesus and then penny drops and realize you have been conned by a false teaching, you are going to find yourself in a very difficult situation.

Everybody in the comment section eagerly awaits your findings. The point of this is for you to determine just how accurate the watchtower corporations bible is.

Dear STROND, I, personally, am not interested in Watchtower theology. I’m very interested in why the WTB&TS wants to maintain an organization whose structure encourages pedophilia and goes to great lengths to coverup the crimes of pedophilia committed, both inside and outside its congregations, throughout the world. The WTB&TS has paid out, and continues to pay out, $millions of its members donations in the vain hope of keeping quiet this horrible scandal. When governing body member Geoffrey Jackson had a wonderful opportunity back in 2015 to convince the Australian Royal Commission on Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse about the biblical underpinnings supporting Watchtower policies and practices he instead wimped out. Now the demotion of Anthony Morris III from the governing body is adding spice to the scandal.
