How to answer a Jehovah’s Witness

A few days ago, members of the Jehovah’s Witness religion knocked on our door. I studied with one of their members over an eight-week period last summer. I am familiar with their teachings. These two ladies invited me to a study they were having. I politely declined and said I did not agree with the Watchtower Society doctrine. I thought that it would end the conversation.

“What do you not agree with?” I told them I fundamentally disagreed with their position on who Jesus is. “Why are you compelled to believe Jesus is God?” they asked. Why?

Because Jesus accepted worship. He said, “You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve” (Matt. 4:10). But Jesus accepted worship – Matthew 14:33. They would not say He was a hypocrite.

Because Jesus said that He and the Father are one: John 10:30 – “I and the Father are one.”

Because Jesus rose from the dead: John 10:18 – “No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”

Because the New Testament writers said He was God: John 1:1, 2 Peter 1:1 and Titus 2:13: “waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Because Jesus created everything: Colossians 1:16 – “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things were created through him and for him.”

The Jehovah’s Witnesses, despite their great evangelistic zeal, are denying the very God who desires their salvation. We need to equip ourselves to study with them and do so with just as much evangelistic fervor – but with Truth.
