LESSON 6

REFUTING "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES"

The "Jehovah's Witnesses" cult (JWs) also started in the 1800s. Since then,
they have changed their teachings repeatedly as their prophecies have failed
to come to pass. They meet in "Kingdom Halls" (their equivalent of "church
buildings"). They print and distribute a lot of professionally illustrated
literature from the "Watchtower" and go door-to-door to spread their heresy.
You might call their efforts "soul-damning."

I always put "Jehovah's Witnesses" in quotation marks when referring to the
cult (and call them "JWs" for short) out of respect for Jehovah, because they
are not really His witnesses. And you could say we are real Jehovah's
witnesses because we witness for Jesus Christ who is Jehovah.

THEIR MAIN HERESIES

JWs don't believe God is a Trinity, so they reject the deity of Jesus Christ
and the deity of the Holy Spirit. They believe Jesus is a created being,
separate from and inferior to Jehovah. (They made their own bible version
to "prove" it.) They believe the Holy Spirit is just a "force" and not a
person.

JWs will tell you that the Trinity doesn't make sense. But just because
something doesn't make sense in our finite minds doesn't mean it's not true.

Ask JWs if they believe God is omnipresent. If God can be in more than one
place at the same time, why can't He be "three" and "one" at the same time?
Even humans are trinities. We each have a body, a soul, and a spirit. (1
Thessalonians 5:23)

JWs believe in salvation by works, citing Tribulation verses like Matthew
24:13 out of context.
