A good example of a question that Jehovas Witness don’t like being asked about, is how come when Jesus said before Abraham was I AM was translated as I was instead of I AM, yet the same Greek word is being used here as when God said to Moses I AM what I AM? Can I have a Jehovas Witness explain this dilemma to me please? I confront JW's with this I AM thing and they cannot answer it. You see they are not programmed to THINK. Just to regurgitate what the watchtower has told them. 1983 "Avoid independent thinking...questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization." (Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 pg. 22) 1983 "Fight against independent thinking." (Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 pg. 27 ) "All who want to understand the Bible should appreciate that the "greatly diversified wisdom of God" can become known only through Jehovah's channel of communication, the faithful and discreet slave." (The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1994, p. 8.) "Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible." (The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967, p. 587.) Dr. Bruce M. Metzger, professor of New Testament at Princeton University, calls the NWT "a frightful mistranslation," "Erroneous" and "pernicious" "reprehensible" "If the Jehovah's Witnesses take this translation seriously, they are polytheists." (Professor of New Testament Language and Literature) Dr. William Barclay, a leading Greek scholar, said "it is abundantly clear that a sect which can translate the New Testament like that is intellectually dishonest."

True. The Romans Road method is short and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are in love with God and I love talking about God with them. I try to be as loving as possible and even though I know the differences in their theology and a Christians I know that these people are really looking for a relationship with God. They are just sooo misguided. I don't "load up with ammunition" to try and shoot them down. I look at what we agree on and establish that we are both looking for a relationship with God. I think the most important thing I can establish after that is that "with all the translations out there, there can be different meanings in different bibles" I don't care who you are talking to, when you say that they will agree with you! 'So how then do we get the best understanding of what was really said in the bible?'.......we have to look at multiple bibles and determine the meaning from a cross section. Now we are into a bible study, me setting the example with my 6 (a dozen on my computer)...they with their 1, and on the way to correcting bad or even evil theology. I never get into an argument put choose to shrug my shoulders and say 'OK we disagree here' They always come back We have to stop looking at confronting as a way of showing people their theology is wrong and learn to ask the questions that get people to think and want to discover truth independent of what they are being told ....from their church or from me telling them what they believe is wrong The bible tells us to go out and evangelize....heck God's bringing them to the door!!!! Gotta step into that with love and not mess it up Acts 17:16 Paul in Athens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
